SkyBlazer for the Super Nintendo. I reviewed this one back in the day for a high school zine.

The PR agency would send over ROM chips you had to carefully place on a circuit board to play the game. Which was always slightly terrifying…

Even after all these years and all these technical and graphical advancements I still think this game looks and feels better that all the MGS games that came after it.

Nature reclaims us all.

15x20ish screen rooms old game colorful dungeon of tile squares, lots of greens and blues and orange areas, parts resemble a big face or boat or dragon but it's mostly mazes, zig zags and floating platforming. at the top left is a little above ground area showing castle in background and family house down the road a bit from the dungeon ground entrance.

something to think about:
