This blog is really cool. The piece about A1 Games (I forgot who wrote it, sorry!) inspired me to buy Puzzle Star Sweep, which was very cheap and a lot of fun. I will definitely be checking out some more of these titles (I think one was even a strategy RPG). I love obscure little gaming "subsets" like this.

that was me. Haha. The SRPG is Battle Hunter. It's ok. Star Sweep is good though definitely. I really like Space Shot a lot actually. But I'm glad you enjoyed that article. I have a fascination with Japanese budget titles that have made it over to the US.

Haha awesome. Well, nice article! I love cheap games myself, I figure Battle Hunter isn't on par with Tactics Ogre or FF Tactics but I'm a sucker for any Japanese SRPGs so I'll be checking it out anyway.

And Puzzle Star Sweep is like one of maybe five games that my wife is willing to play. :lol:

I love that I never get to see the art for my story until the next chapter is posted. I also love that I am always drunk when I submit my requests for artwork and never remember what I wanted until it's on the Internets.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

On the other side of the coin, I love that I get your requests without being allowed to read the chapter first! And I love your requests because they're so damn weird. :lol:

That seahorse was super fun to draw by the way.

You know what else I love? The Blue Scatter Laser of Adjacent Death.
