sb is the smartest vidcon site on the internet
definitely 2nded.
Maybe someone can create a fully web1.0 compliant website out of this? maybe to celebrate april, 1st each year, with a few new pages going live for games that should have gotten the web1.0 treatment?
and I try to think where I have found a webpage that actually provided quite some web1.0-esque content for ikaruga, including some awesome scans of artwork, etc.
maybe click-stick before it was gone? idk.
anyway, some romping around pixxx folder netted a result, I remembered that I had some translation of the intro screens to each stage (though unfortunately I had to convert them from epic â.bmpâ-format to JPEG ⊠theyâre that old, yes.)
Mighta been Grengâs old site, which doesnât seem to be round anymore.
that might very well been the site, yeah!
(makes you feel so old to remember websites that have disappeared a decade ago ;__; )
Look which site had a chunk of the answer all along~

[quote]Boss Warning
The boss warning seen in each chapter also features a passage of sanskrit.
âOm Marishi Sowakaâ is a spell of Marishiten (in sanskrit, Vajravarahi).
Marishiten is the goddess of protection.
"The light that precedes the sun across the sky. Mortals cannot
see her, know her or gain possession of her but anyone who knows her name
can acquire her marvelous powers."
The spell âOm Marishi Sowakaâ grants safety from dangerous
situations.
