Tiger Bureaucrat Released!

Well, I've played the game many times. I like the feeling of it; it seems fun; and it rarely crashes. Time to call it good! I'm still happy to hear any feedback. The pitch:

Tiger Bureaucrat is a city builder periodically interrupted by a shmup. It has strategy, tactics, and jokes. It has that thing I like where you play a game that determines how you're going to play a different game. We at Safety Stoat think it's a shoe-in for Game of the Year 2025*. Check out the ...

Added Simon Gamefor SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive







Quote
Four colors will flash with a sound; your task is to memorize them. Then, simply select the colors in the exact order they flashed. You'll start by remembering just two colors, but the number will gradually increase. This is a challenge for your memory! Just use the game pad's Up and Down directions to select a color, and press any button to confirm your choice.

Just found out about this one: The Hybrid Front -- originally a Japanese exclusive released in '94, a fan group has just finished their localization of it. I realize it's technically a romhack, but IMO it's no different from other localizations like Beggar Prince or Legend of Wukong

Yeah, SEGABIts has posted that one too : https://segabits.com/blog/2025/07/01/segas-japan-exclusive-mega-drive-turn-based-strategy-game-the-hybrid-front-receives-a-fan-translation/

But actually it's different from Beggar Prince or Legend of Wukong.
They are official translation while The Hybrid Front (and hundred game localizations on Romhack sites) were not official.

Xin Qi Gai Wang Zi/Beggar Prince and Wu Kong Wai Zhuan/Legend of Wukong's translation were done officially by Super Fighter Team with the game's rights bought from the original publisher in Taiwan.
Super Fighter Team then released them in physical forms (along with many others games like StarOdyssey) in 2006 that could be bought from the webstore https://www.superfighter.com/
I also bought games (Cascade and Magic Girl) from their original webstore almost a decade ago and even had some chat with the owner, Brandon Cobb, via mail.



Good old times but now they already sold their game rights to Piko Interactive so the new ones released actually were re-released from Super Fighter Team version with different cover artworks.

Added Last Defense 2 for SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive







Quote
During a normal work day, while conducting the initial tests of the new ship developed by the P.D.U. (Planetary Defense Union), you have an unfortunate encounter with the Reptilians.

They use you to test a new technology they've developed and send you to an unknown part of the universe, a vast distance from Earth.

Now you'll have to explore the worlds of this new place, fight new enemies, and find a way to return home.

So here's a funny one: Stachios - what looks to be a beat em up based on a chocolate-pistachio candy; I guess an attempt at viral marketing?  ;-D  Reminds me of Coffee Crisis

Looks like there's to be a kickstarter for it, based on their Instagram account description.

I dislike the AI art used in the cover artwork, but gameplay looks good.
Since they didn't specify when it's gonna be released, I'll add it in WIP/Not Yet Released List for now.
Thanks billybob.  :-D
