Digging around a bit, I wonder if the newsletters would help in finding footage of those Spartan conventions.
The Gladiator Report ane Spartan International Monthly, apparently.

Robert Loggia contemplates buying Goh II
Archer MacLean reads a LOGiN with a confused expression.
One fun thing from the LOGiN scans - why is game designer Archer MacClean reading a LOGiN?
Well, in LOGiN's overseas charts, the game that has the longest hold in their UK sales data was.... Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker, and it's so unusual that even the editors remarked on it after 10 months.
Ah yeah that happens sometimes, sometimes the condition isn't great and it's caked with gunk so it snares in the scanner and *rip*.
If you ever want to laugh look at the RAWs uploaded, a lot of processing happens from those initial scans.
I've been searching for a Japanese cop show that did this for yeaaaaaars. It involves using a sharp x1 to hijack a hospital
That RPG Maker article actually is a multiple issue spread. There's also a regular Wizardry column in the B&W sections as well.
Also goes without saying but NSFW, LOGiN's no Technopolis but it is racier than Famitsu for sure
A Project has been finished with @gamingalexandria.bsky.social - working in tandem with site owner Hubz I was able to digitize over 30 issues of LOGiN Magazine - the ones marked as FTBscans were also processed by me. That's over 11,000 pages of new magazine pages for research!

First bonus patreon vid should be up for relevant tier tomorow morning, it's just cites, credits, bells and whistles now

Someone needs to fandub these and put am Angelo Badalmenti soundtrack behind them.
Pokemon Pokopia is built on top of over four decades of simulation prowess.
On this installment of Origin of Game, @tigerwolf.bsky.social uncovers the story of Koei - and the ambitious power couple behind its rise.

Youtube encouraging 12-hour essays and I'm like...
Warning: Unless you have already built up a tolerance, the amount of pure undiluted history contained in the following two minute burst may be too potent. You may need to watch it multiple times to take it all in.

It's tricky to get the balance right (fugu fish tricky lol) but it's U-bet, milk and seltzer. They even make glasses an exact shape to get it 100% right. I grew up with these.
Get the balance off and your stomach will tell you though x.x
Since this game generates multiple interpretations , there's also this playthrough by MatatabiMitsu of the PC-98 version, as well.

My vid goes a bit more into the history of the game itself, the above goes more into the mythology, Matatabi's goes more into puzzle structure.
Barring uncovering of new information, script is done for first Patreon bonus video. Will record VA as soon as able, and the final product should be up sometime late this week.
How'd I react: *cocks shotgun*
How'd I actually react: "oh damn, I lack a shotgun."
The dead 2nd link is an old profile from CG Artist Behrooz Roozbeh, who worked on Final Fantasy Spirits Within, Parasite Eve, and many many many others games. Haven't met or contacted but that site is def. Him.

This is some fantastic work.
More health garbage slowing me up. Healthcare is tricky to navigate up here.

To put it more simply:
We are at the top of the floor ride. Crashes are judged from the bottom.
Can see where the Romeros are coming from. Given rising RAM prices, layoffs, etc, it feels poised for something that feels more like a traditional crash. It reminds me of .coms pre 2000s or housing pre 2008. The feeling of Titanic deck chair rearranging is strong.
Crash now? Nah. But soon for sure
This feels like the writers overcompensating for that shovel being handy for a couple of puzzles if Laura Bow didn't care about the museum, just smashing everything and bopping people on the head. Laura could solve that mystery in five seconds with that shovel lol
