Some of these already get a lot of praise, but I'd also like to give a shoutout to #Raimais.
Y'know how Arkanoid took Breakout and updated it for the late 80's, it was glorious? Raimais does the same thing with Pac-Man, and it is every bit as glorious.
Go play Raimais.

I have never once aggressively namesearched Raimais. Nope. Never happened
the correct way to do retro gaming is to arbitrarily seek out one super-obscure game to make into “your thing” and if you see anyone else discussing it you basically need to attempt to ruin their entire life

One of the wildest parts of Raimais is the hidden ending, folks had discovered voice samples that alluded to it but it was @sudden-desu.net who figured out how to access it, since the requirements to reach it were either disabled or nearly impossible to reach sudden-desu.net/entry/raimai...

Tengai Makyo was a tremendous leap forward in cutscenes that happened thanks to CD tech
Super Real Mahjong P-II showed how to do detailed animation in cutscenes in the era (through beautifully drawn boobies)
But my heart lies here

Going to bed and tempted to post complete nonsense like “Can’t believe the Raimais remake announcement leaked” to make people who see it very confused until I wake up again

Speaking of paying artists, here’s an illustration of Rika by KawasakiW1SP on Skeb! I may have mostly VF and Vanessa on the brain right now but I will always love dear aneki, especially drawn in era-appropriate style. Thanks so much!

Let's talk about ZILLION. And Tatsunoko's in-house mecha design team Ammonite, who made robots for Southern Cross (Robotech: Masters), Robotech II: The Sentinels, and other anime shows. They ALSO did the mecha designs (including robot fish!) for the first few Darius games! AND YES, ZILLION, TOO. 🧵

Did you ever play the ultra rare Taito arcade game BAS that ACE Magazine reviewed in 1988? You probably have without realising it, as they were reviewing Raimais, which was no doubt installed in a recently released Brent Leisure BAS generic arcade cab
