Bump with Bounty!

Added Jessie Jaeger in Cleopatra's Curse for the Genesis. Kickstarter tentatively launching in August.

Supplemented existing listings for Haunted Halloween '85 & '86 and A Hole New World to include FC releases.

Pfft that’s so 90s, why not go old school with a Beef Fizz!

Agree with the problem growing with the rise of social media. People think that the ability to say something equates to having a default assumption that anything they say is something worth listening to.

Is Tobu Tobu still available? I remember seeing it and wanted to get it when the ks has been around, but funds were thin then so I had to pass.

Yep, check out their website and you’ll see the US/EU version, the JP regular edition, and the JP limited edition. They also have a famicom edition of the A Hole New World soundtrack.

I am not familiar with them, who is behind this company?

They’re based out of Germany. They started off looking like an alternative to LRG and SLG and even did a re-release of the chiptune soundtrack to A Hole New World, originally sold by LRG. They appeared on my radar when they handled the KS for the GB homebrew Tobu Tobu Girl Deluxe.

Awesome, was funny, I'd been meaning to inquire about getting the nes version of the game, but hadn't gotten around to it, then this shows up.

Backed!

Will share this with a few other friends if mine, Ive always thought this game looked quite fun.

I suspect if this goes well, First Press Games will do more homebrew collaborations to bring more games to the Famicom.

With all that’s been said, I’m thinking that the next time I bump my WTB thread, I’ll include a bounty for one of the much rarer items and see what happens.

Famicom edition of Project Blue has just launched on Kickstarter from First Press Games: 

I just wish there was still a way to get Cross Strait Independence. I’m still kicking myself for missing that one.

Ooh I look fly

You bet I do! How hard are classes? How long do you spend studying? How much free time do you have? Do vending machines really sell ready-to-eat meals? Is the freedom great or is it overwhelming? Are parties anything like they are in movies? Can you go wherever you want when you don't have class? Do you have the freedom to skip a class if you have something else to do or do you have to make sure you make it to everything? Is the food any good? What does a typical day look like?

I'm by no means asking you to answer all of these, but college is just so magical and mysterious to me. Congrats on going to Harvard btw, I'm honestly not sure where I'll be going myself. My entire Mom's side of the family went to UK with the exception of my Grandma (WKU) so that is a likely candidate.

I’m going to PM you so as to not derail the thread, but I’d be happy to start a separate “college life” and/or “admissions advice” thread if there is interest as well.

It sounds like the vendor option was the best choice for a clearly higher demand item, and something that would be more desired should have those pluses you mentioned in terms of item quality and it’s ability to help the site. Maybe more specialty items would make sense for those commission-based sites, like hats and pins.

I’m holding out hope for the Casual Cart fashion line.

Squeeeee!

Here comes Shmup Speed 2: Shmup Control aka The Shmupening

Please tell me you’re going to do a stream of Battle Kid 2, while your wife sits next to you saying that over and over

Nice, Shmup Speed got the most participants. Clearly it is thus, the best game. There's really no arguing about it, the pudding is in the puddle.

Indeed! Clearly you need to make a sequel, maybe maintaining a certain level of presses per second during boss fights increases the power of your weapons or reduces the damage you take.

Bump

My folks were too cheap to buy thunder coats, so they made a couple of their own with old pillow cases, foam stuffing, and a lot of duct tape. Our dogs looked incredibly stupid...but chill.

@Gloves I remember you mentioning you were thinking about making a game of your own, would it have been a shmup? Would love to see what you come up with!

Awesome turnout for this month’s entry, which technically isn’t even a game!

Gah, this is why I feel awkward talking about it unless asked directly. I had a lot of things going in my favor, but in the end luck played a huge role. I’m so happy I got to attend though I still get waves of imposter syndrome that gives me a chip on my shoulder to do more with what there opportunities that’s afforded me.

Gee I wonder?  Go wildcats!

I went to Harvard; I was so happy I got to visit last year for my 10-year reunion. For me so little had changed on campus, though the surrounding city had changed a lot. I got to see all the people I wanted to see most, and reconnect with so many other friends. My favorite part was that I was invited to be a class marshal for commencement because I had helped with some pre-reunion stuff. As part of the event, I got to wear a top hat and tails and march with my class in an alumni procession to the ceremony where the keynote speaker was Angela Merkel. I’ve loved my school and my overall experiences so much that I interview high school kids applying for admission, which is itself a lot of fun.

Added Dana Puch's GB homebrew Micro Doctor and moved in the chiptune soundtrack to A Hole New World.

Dana Puch just relaunched her Kickstarter for the GB homebrew Where is my body? A higher tier includes a bundle for other GB homebrews Micro Doctor, Lunar Journey, and Submarine 9.

I have also moved the chiptune soundtrack of A Hole New World to the Almanac now that pre-orders are shipping.
