Legends of 16-Bit Game Development [new book!]

[Berto]

The Book is Finally 100% Funded !!! :D

Congrats Gryson !!!



Some more fun translated stuff:

Ever notice a certain... resemblance between Gunstar Heroes' Smash Daisaku and another famous video game villain?

Treasure wasn't afraid to make fun of the resemblance! A Treasure staff member drew this comic at the time of the release of Gunstar Heroes in 1993 (Beep! MD 10/93). I also like the Shin Megami Tensei reference.



Note that Vega is the original Japanese name for M. Bison in the West.

That's good to hear, SIK is great and talented.
I love his Mini Planets and Project MD,
bought physical version of Mini Planets years ago.
Arkagis Revolution is not my favorite genre though,
but still by playing its demo, it plays and looks impressive.

Nice to see this campaign is still going strong too.
18 hours to go and it's already more than $20.000
I've pledged too of course, looking forward to reading your book, Gryson.
