@Kalyoshika Someone should make a Comanche vs Werewolf that's the real deal.

It's fairly well known now, but the next MAME version will support 'Vampire' An arcade game published by Entertainment Enterprises, Ltd. (who also published Swinging Singles...) and developed by Brass International.
It is unknown if it saw wide release or failed location testing

@EmmaTolkin Gremlins?

@HG_101 I like that the German dialog lines for those cucumber looking enemies in Link's Awakening (the original GB version) were all dick jokes.

@St1ka There was a funny variant in Korea where she's drawn to look more like a Western woman.

[Satarou Light ( 佐太郎ライト ) IRIAM 3/21 debut @cabbusses]

@St1ka Did you know about the Korean version with it's own live action segments? There's not a lot of the material recovered, since Korean VHS tapes seem hard to find and there may had been epsiodes which were only on broadcast.
Some more are on the same channel:

Can't imagine the Mac version artist was looking at a 10 years old magazine for inspiration. Ali Baba (the game the imagein the mag is for) doesn't seem to use those colors at all. @jmechner I wonder if there's anything you could illuminate about the significance of those colors?

Curious - this illustration in the June 1982 issue of Electronic Games uses almost the exact same clothing color scheme for the Arabian warrior's clothing as the Macintosh version of the original Prince of Persia (and all versions of Prince of Persia 2).

here's my entry for the Lovebyte 2024 party 256 bytes intro compo. Source in tweets below. Code may look bizarre as it was tuned for optimal ROM packing.

Let me tell you about how awesome the late Jennell was. After interviewing her wife, Becky, I sent my Dragon Wars box for an autograph. Look what Jennell put inside! What an amazing talent and kind person. I’ll always cherish this.

@St1ka @Kalyoshika No one's played even the worst 2,000 games cause they all are on the ZX Spectrum.

[Kyle Thompson (Wishlist WELL DWELLER on Steam!) @KyleThompsonDev]

@gamespite uploaded a VHS rip of Famimaga Video (November 1988) with an early version of the artwork for Chase H.Q., where the characters are more obviously Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams.

The final version moved the mustache to Ford's face. #taito #harrisonford #chasehq

Trying out Drihoo, a unique kind of Dungeon Crawler for the original Xbox where you drill through earth to find ancient ruins and drink "Beev" to heal yourself.

@ZenOfDesign What they say about a broken clock...
