Yeah I'll have the next blog up probably this Saturday.  Five blogs altogether stretched out through August.

2000 was a good year, but a lot of things happened so it was also kind of a blur.  But I already told you all that so you know... :)

Yeah there are some CD games on the TG-16 Mini as well.

The only other thing I know about Far East of Eden is that one of the main characters is playable in Saturn Bomberman, along with Bonk, Master Higgins, and Milon from Milon's Secret Castle.

Did you know Legacy of the Wizard has ties to the Dragon Slayer series, too?

I'll probably post the next one this Saturday.  I've already got the next two blogs written.

Yes, espeically since I was writing for a major metropolitan newspaper.

But even so, a small part of me wants to think she liked me.   Is that so wrong? :)

I'll be talking about Military Madness and Dungeon Explorer in upcoming blogs.

A Blockbuster Music near my house back in the 90's had demo stations for all the consoles at the time, so that's where I played a lot of SEGA CD and TG-16 games I wouldn't otherwise have been able to.  The demo station where I saw Air Zonk was at a cool electronics store back then called Incredible Universe.

I was wondering if the Far East of Eden games would be on the PC Engine side of the Mini.  I know they were a popular Hudson franchise and got pretty wacky.  But they would be all in Japanese so I guess it wouldn't matter.

There was a mini NEO GEO arcade machine, but not a mini console.  I think SNK tried to do one but dropped it.  I think.

I don't think all the TG-16 games were lackluster.  They had some hidden gems that I'll go over in the coming weeks.  I just think Nintendo had such a strong grip on things back then, that it was hard to compete with that and the upcoming Genesis.

I really like 'em!  Not too hard, but not too easy either.  The later ones get pretty weird, though.  Especially Super Bonk on the SNES.
