Yesterday I bought the “Rayz’ Arcade Chronology”, on Switch, as it was on sale. Here is the first game of the collection: RayForce, a 2D vertical Shoot’Em Up from 1994 by Taito.
I never played it before, but it’s really great. There are a ton of neat graphics tricks. Sprite rotations, zooms and even per column scrolling.
And the gameplay is superb, with its locking missiles system

The Sega Saturn has a TON of amazing ports of arcade games and this, Night Striker S, is one of my all time faves. If you’ve never played this gem, give it a shot ASAP!

It took some doing and some save state spamming but I beat Puzzle Bobble.

This song is now stuck in my head...

the screen I see most often in #raycrisis. sem-strut usually eats up all my ships and I inevitably miss a couple of them. that or I get to encroachment 100% and get the "bad" boss that I've yet to beat.

I should lean into save states. I have 4 available on lemuroid. I do wonder if the ray'z cronology has any...

a game over screen for raycrisis special mode showing the text "trial attack failed" in red, white, and gold.

Soile Olmarin suunnittelema Lumen pehmeää -peitto Taito-lehdestä 1/2020. Tämä on toinen tällainen tekemäni peitto. Tähän upposi monenlaista lankaa varastoista. Langat oli vähän eri paksuisia, jonka takia palat ovat vähän epätasaisia.

Good Morning from Tokyo on this Thursday!

This is part 6, the last part of my "Taito Life" series with street photography from Taito Ward. Details in ALT texts.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. We see a perspective along the elevated train tracks at Asakusabashi, with restaurants and shops underneath and opposite.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. In front of a generic modern apartment building, we see some rather old and worn-looking small old houses that almost seem as if not belonging here.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. Detail shot of old building textures and colorful human-added details such as a traffic sign, a mailbox and a crate.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. From between the walls of two buildings, we look towards a street where a woman is walking past some mixed-use buildings and a parked car.

Good Morning from Tokyo on this Tuesday!

Moving on to the 4th part of my "Taito Life" series with street photography from Taito Ward. Details in ALT texts.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. At a street corner, we see a fairly weathered building with a fading red-painted facade. On the ground floor is a shop named "Hot Stuff".

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is a detail study of a rusted door hinge on an old building, and some stickers and plaques that have been attached to the door over the course of many years.

Good Morning & Happy Monday from Tokyo! Today is a bank holiday here in Japan.

Next part of my "Taito Life" series with street photography from Taito Ward. Details in ALT texts.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. In a side street, the photo's angle looks through the outside seating of a pub with some wine bottles on a small table, and lanterns hung from the sun blinds. In the background, we can see some people walking, or standing and have a chat.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is a detailed shot of a painting with a textured wall and shutters painted all in a striking yellow. From the right side, a single plant reaches into the frame, and casts an interesting shadow on the wall.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. We are looking through the window of a curry restaurant into the shop. The glass is slightly milky, obscuring the details inside. On the outside, we can see some graphical elements provided by the lettering and images pasted on the window glass.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. At a street crossing, an elderly couple with two suitcases is having an animated discussion, while a red fire truck is just turning the street corner in front of a big ad sign for a fitness gym.

Good morning from Tokyo on a bright and cool Sunday!

Continuing my small "Taito Life" series, with another set of street photography from Taito Ward. Details in ALT texts.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. This is a perspective shot looking into a typical street with an eclectic mix of buildings, old and new, residential and commercial.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. It looks like kind of a still life with a multitude of umbrellas hung on a drain pipe, empty drink crates piled up in the background, and some walls and cables segmenting the frame.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. Here we have the exterior of an old "Kissaten", a Japanese-style tea room that is also a coffee shop. The interesting point is the name of the shop; it is called "Smell".

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. On a street corner with an older commercial or industrial building, we see an orange traffic mirror, and a woman walking into the frame who is just adjusting her hat while looking towards the camera.

Obscure Game 14:

This one is truly amazing.

The NewZealand Story is a platformer which is originally released for the arcades. I have played the PC Engine/Turbo Grafx-16 port of it and gosh what an experience it was!

The controls are fluid, the gameplay is simply stunning. Platforming does feel challenging but in a positive way.

Graphics complimenting it is simply breathtaking. Such breathtaking pixel art both of the environment and our character. One cannot stop being impressed by those.

I have always liked cute platformers and this game did not disappoint at all. I think there is something charming in controlling a cute character. Makes you feel cozy and warm. I have always been drawn to cute, more specifically kawaii, aesthetics. And this game fits to my sensibilities like a glove.

I have strong affinity towards cute games.

The soundtrack is nice too. It compliments the atmosphere.

Our main character is quite cute, a small, yellow kiwi bird (which is native to New Zealand/Aotearoa) called, Tiki. He is trying to save his girlfriend, Phee Phee, from leopard seal.

This game deserves your time and attention, and giving a chance to cute games that had been neglected by large is quite a charming experience in my opinion.

It is all the gaming about, sharing and finding hidden gems.

Cover art for The NewZealand Story, on a case. On it, has a cute, yellow Kiwi bird wearing blue shoes. Our mascot has a rather angry yet cute look. Next to it is Hu Card, which carries the data of the game and in size of a credit card. Think it like a cartridge.

Good morning, and happy weekend from Tokyo!

I am starting a small series, “Taito Life”, with street photography and details from the city’s Taito Ward. Details in ALT texts.

A street photo from Taito Ward in Tokyo, Japan. Detail of a building with a cracked wall and a very small door. The old details contrast with the modern-time traffic signs to the right of the frame.
