June bonus #1: Fantasy Zone VHS longplay video
Added 2023-06-01 21:36:45 +0000 UTCAnother month, another upscaled video rip of a vintage Japanese video tape showcasing a classic arcade game. This time, it's Sega's Fantasy Zone. Like last month's Out Run video, this is not a pure longplay but rather a heavily edited performance (it skips shops and other screen transitions) that overdubs the soundtrack sans game effects. I love that this was a thing that you could buy with actual human money in actual stores. Eat your heart out, GDQ.
You'll be happy (I hope?) to know that a box of more VHS tapes arrived from Japan today, with enough material to provide monthly uploads for a full year. Well. I'm happy, anyway.
Comments
This cassette would have misled on the difficulty. You'd have watched it and thought "that looks manageable". Then gone into the arcade and had your butt handed to you on a plate with all the trimmings.
