[FDS] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE, SPREAD] [1986]

"You've been offered a part-time job at a large warehouse company. Your job is to organize the warehouse's items, and you start right away. Easy, easy! You think it's easy, but things aren't going well. The items are big, and they can only be moved one at a time, and it seems you can only push them. So, can you organize the 150 items in the warehouse safely? If you can do it in three months, you're a genius." ~Ad Caption [BMT🤖]

Artwork for Kasaburanka Ni Ai O 〜Satsujinsha Wa Jikū O Koete〜 by Akira Yoneda (aka Akira Komeda), a 1986 Thinking Rabbit game for the PC-8800, PC-9801, FM-7 and Sharp X1 computer series. This is the third entry in the Disc Mysteries series of computer text adventure murder stories, following Dokeshi Satsu Jinjiken and Kagiana Satsujin Jiken. 

I became aware of this game due to Riverhill Soft's Windows 95 port, itself an adaptation of Thinking Rabbit's reissuing of the original game for the 3D0 from 1994, including a soundtrack and completely redone color graphics. The game is set in the 1940s and tells the story of a journalist whose high-school friend goes missing. A more atypical twist takes place when she discovers that this friend’s father, allegedly pursued and stabbed to death by members of the government, had invented a time machine.

The rather conspicuous reference to Casablanca and its leading actors, Bogart and Bergman, were erased from later ports (see the 3DO and the Win95 covers); the title also having been sanitized to Toki O Koeta Tegami, or The Letter That Over Came Time. Similarly, allusions to the time travelling theme were much more subtle than in this preciously sinister illustration, whose muted hues and composition bring to mind an Andrew Wyeth landscape.

8 Eyes - Simon Belmont (NES rom hack) elbobelo

*This is a hack I played early on in the channel, but I decided to replay it now with better quality and go all the way to the end. I also redesigned the thumbnail to be more faithful to the original artwork.

"Here is a fully functional hack of 8 Eyes, featuring Simon Belmont as the main character! No longer do you have to stab enemies with a small sword—now you can strike them with Simon’s whip! Additionally, some of the classic Castlevania sub-weapons are available for use in the game.

This patch does not alter the storyline in any way; rather, it serves as a demonstration of how such a conversion can be achieved. It was intended as a test for a larger project to fully transform the game into a new Castlevania adventure. However, it seems the project has been abandoned for quite some time."*
