    Every time I go to the doctor, I always get asked, "Have you done anything recently that might increase your blood pressure?" And I pause, I think about @kitsunebi and enjoying all the magazines featuring pretty young women that he uploads here, then I look my doctor right in the eye and say, "Nope, can't think of a single thing..."

    Thanks to the largely online and achievement-focused swerve that video games have taken since the 360/PS3 era, cheat codes in games are largely a thing of the past. You'll also notice that you don't see peripherals like the GameShark or Pro Action Replay any longer, for much the same reason. Developers want you to earn those achievements/trophies, not just blast through the game using infinite ammo and health cheats. I can think of only a handful of games from within the last, oh, fifteen years or so that included cheat codes. The usual trade-off for them today is that they either prevent you from saving your game, or they disable all trophies/achievements on your save file if you activate them. The last game I'm aware of that allowed you to input a cheat code without actively screwing you over in some way was Dead Space, which had some single-use codes that allowed you to refill your stasis meter, gave you some money, or added some power nodes to your inventory. No invincibility cheats or weapon/ammo codes though.

    I'm pretty sure if it was left out, it was because it was a blank page. I don't have the book any longer to check, sadly. I have to cut the spines off, and they get recycled after they've been scanned. Back when I was starting this, I had extremely slow internet so I was doing everything I could to keep file sizes down, and that did include leaving out blank pages. I always forget people like to use two-page mode for viewing, and yeah, that probably did disrupt the flow of the book, considering there are maps that stretch across the gutter. I guess one could simply insert a blank page in the appropriate spot in the file...? Maybe I can figure out how to do that and re-upload the fix.

    Thexder (Japan) (March 1986)

    Areala reviewed kitsunebi's gallery image in T

    Thexder (Japan) (March 1986)
    Issue 148 of Computer Gaming World put Thexder at #23 on their list of the 'Worst Games of All Time', claiming it was a universally bad game no matter what platform it was released on. Given it was ported to so many different systems, I have to assume that some people somewhere must have liked it. Maybe in Japan...?

    Wasn't that Miyamoto guy the one who created Sonic the Hedgehog for the TurboGrafx-16 and saved Squaresoft from bankruptcy by programming Streets of Rage in a single, epic, 48-hour binge? Yeah, he's probably doing just fine right now. Better than the poor tosser who invented Donkey Kong, that's for sure.

    I do download each of your releases. I can't say that I read everything since my Japanese comprehension sits comfortably at Kindergarten levels, but I love flipping through them, finding something that catches my eye, and straining my translation skill trying to figure out just what I'm looking at. I just do what I can to be a friendly face. This is such a fun hobby with more history than I'll ever know, probably more than could ever be compiled in any one location, and I love being a part of that. To my way of thinking, acknowledging the hard work of everyone else who contributes is the literal least I can do.

    Pour moi, j'adorerais voir des magazines en français! Sorry if I butchered that...I haven't had a French class in, uh, in a long, long time...

    Welcome to the site, @PixelBoy! Glad to see a brand new registered user. It's especially exciting to see users from non-English-speaking countries, because most of us working on the site use English as our primary/only language. Any help you're able to provide with making non-English publications more accessible to our visitors is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. *huggles* Areala

    I actually met Robert DeJesus at a small comic shop in Northern Indiana back in the 90's (he's an Indiana native, and wasn't there for a meet-and-greet or anything, just was hanging out with the owner of the shop he frequented), but being a shy, awkward teenager I managed to stammer out that I liked work he did for Antarctic Press a lot, shook his hand quickly, then darted away into the long boxes in the hope that he wouldn't realize how weird and nerdy I was. Didn't get anything signed, or a picture, or anything like that. S I G H . . . Speaking of Banzai Chibi-chan, when DeJesus joined Twitter, his handle was @Banzchib. No, wasn't stalking him! Why would you even think something like that...? B-baka yarou!
