Seen when playing Demon's Crest

Tech director: Now, we have it! Thirty-two lush, graphically intensive tracks, anti-gravity racing, four-player splitscreen with many more AI racers in the level too. We've optimized load times. Reduced draw distance and aliasing. It took years, but we stretched this platform to the limit to overcome significant technical challenges. Where else do we go from here?

Although I played this game eons ago, I completed it for the first time today.

Playing this game to the end revealed it glitching out at times (can you spot it?):

Beating it for the first time.

After a couple repairs and lots of futzing with cables... life!
This is the SHARP x68000, a vintage computer from Japan.

If the name sounds familiar- it runs on a Motorola 68000 processor. This vintage computer was never sold outside of Japan due to very strict export regulations in the 1980s which included this system. Inside Japan, there were many notable video game franchises that debuted and/or gained prominence on this platform

Obtained Star Fox Zero and Mario Kart 8 for Wii U and gave them a try. I am not loving the Wii U tablet-remote for Star Fox, but I get they really really want you to use it. The controls will take some getting used to. There are a lot of nice graphical improvements since Assault and lots of homage to the very first one. I think they are being slow in learning their lesson from previous installments, that people want a rail shooter. Not a third person shooter, not Uncharted with furries, not a land vehicle driving sim. Please get it through your head Nintendo.

In other news, began playing Professor Layton and The Last Specter

This graphical rogue-like was incredibly addictive and challenging. Here I finished the main questline.

What do I do now?

End game unlock-

Nope.

All this time has gone by since my early years and somehow I'm still in the park catching Pokemon.

DARK SOULS III
The Dark Soul(Platinum)
Acquire all trophies.

This might be the best game, ever. Reason: Can't remember the last time I've come across a game with literally zero grind. No repetitive action. For the 'meat' of the game, solving puzzles- each puzzle is different with no repeats, nor any cheesy reprising the same puzzle with an only-slightly-different flavor. Shouldn't be such a novel thing but it really is.

Also no puzzles that rely on pure anagrams, big-time number crunching, external knowledge of other languages / scripts.  Nice.
