Interview with Tez (Zolger) Okano, currently directing Thunder Force VI for PS2 and also directed Astro Boy: Omega Factor. This interview is about SEGAGAGAGAGGAGAGAGAGA.
I don't know how many of you guys actually played this game, but this interview is totally worth reading just to hear the tales of hardship the director went through to make the thing. Also, it's good material if you're a Sega fan like me. ;_;
Some choice quotes:
"You have to understand that we – no, I – had just about ¥30,000 (£142) to promote this title! I used ¥20,000 (£94) to get a mask made that I could use to go and promote the game everywhere! This mask was made by a true professional pro-wrestler. In many ways, the game established some industry firsts in terms of . . . Read more |

Why do we like videogames?
by internisus
Fri Jul 11, 2008 6:56 pm
Seriously. I've been thinking about this lately. Videogames are ridiculous and juvenile. While I haven't done it much lately, those of you who know me are aware of my tendency to clamor for games to be more, and yet I perpetually find myself drawn to games as they are. Is it because I am some sort of man-child? What is the appeal? Timesinks and artificial achievements?
I've gone on about wanting videogames to progress beyond abstract conventions, but I am thoroughly compelled by RPG systems with their numerical stats and levels. Why? Well, I've justified it so far as quantifiable systems of character development answering to a kind of existential uncertainty. But is it that simple?
It certainly can't be because of fun; I'm too much of a snob for that.

Bad Influence!

Back when I was a nipper, young and free, circa the early 90s, I remember galloping home from down t'pit (OR TIN COLLIERY) in order to catch children's television. Back then there were two choices for waywards; the BBC's own Children's BBC or ITV's Children's ITV (truly the creators should not be allowed to name their own children). The former was more popular, by reason of its slightly higher budget and homegrown entertainment, whereas the latter was slightly edgier, a little bit more 'high-brow,' if one can call children's entertainment highbrow. Many a fight in the school playground broke out over which channel was your personal saviour.
The reason I preferred CITV were myriad, but by the time I was 'into' computers it was due to BAD INFLUENCE! Now, remember, this was a time when the MegaCD was considered an astonishing and even terrifying piece of electrical wizardry and the PC . . . Read more |
Select Button: GAME CLUB #2 - Eternal Eclipse Taoyarin
by Mr. Apol

SB GAME CLUB VOL. 2 IS ETERNAL ECLIPSE TAOYARIN.
If you guys are familiar with Ascaei's (Lancer-X in the MZX community) earlier work, mainly Meritous, you'll want to try this out.
I''m going to use megazeuxer Terryn's review of the game, because it's by far the best summary of it i've found:
The name is actually a very good fit for the content of the game. Stuck in an ever-repeating loop of five days cycled over a hundred years, the player must unravel the cycle.
Taoyarin is a modernist take on traditional MZX gameplay. While retaining some similarities of the simple overhead gameplay of past MegaZeux games, Taoyarin is far more complex. Your weaponry is flashy and wonderfully varied, even with the most basic projectile. The enemy projectiles are (very) frequent, variegated, and often explode into tiny yet harmful fragments. The "true" goal is formed . . . Read more |
Sword of Vermillion Does Not Make Sense

Okay, so this thing, this vidcon, an early Genesis title, it came out of Sega AM2 and the Internet says Yu Suzuki is the designer. This vidcon, this thing, it does not fit with anything Suzuki has done before or since. It's a straight-up RPG sharing traits with Phantasy Star I, only its setting is medeival fantasy and the battle system is realtime. I suppose it shares more with western RPGs of the day. I've never played very much of it - it's not a friendly game, it's mostly bland, and it lacks the charm of its contemporaries - so I might've just not gotten to the part where that AM2 magic really kicks in.
It does do some interesting things, though. The music, though mostly not my bag, does some incredible things with the Genesis sound chip, especially considering how early it was ('89). It's a very brown game, but . . . Read more |
quoting family friendly gaming thread
by Dark Age Iron Savior
Mon Jun 23, 2008 4:02 pm
"There are some moral and ethical issues with MMBN5. Lan lies to his mother in order to do what he feels is right. The souls of the different Navis commune with one another to create a more powerful being. Lan and Megaman are quick to use violence, and revenge in order to get the way they feel is right. It is a shame that Capcom went away from good lessons in the first three MMBN games, in order to draw the series down. No occult though."
"The digimon are all digital so why evolution is used instead of upgrades makes no sense to the WMG. There is a lot of helping others and stopping evil in Digimon World Dusk. Many of the Family Friendly Gaming readers are going to find a problem with the theory of evolution being proselytized. Another issue is the usage of monsters to fight for . . . Read more |
Review

It's finally here. Years after the initial mindblowing E3 trailer and delay after delay, the game we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Millions have been wondering whether it lives up to the hype. Well, those fears can finally be put to rest. The truth is, the game exceeds every expectation, and is everything you could've wanted from a next-generation sequel to one of the longest running, most beloved franchises in all of gaming: all the missions, all the gameplay, all the story, and especially, all the answers fans have been clamoring for over the years. Granted, if you've never been a fan of the series, this installment isn't going to do much to change your mind. But diehards of this genre are going to find one of the most finely-crafted, perfectly-polished games of this generation.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you already . . . Read more |
