I love me some high school horror, but this game (and the anime) are so messed up. Premise is great though, I'll give it that.

The Keibiin games always looked so weird to me. Like, are you some sort of psychotic security guard hunting for women to assault? WTF is the story with these?

Edit: Yup...

"Oh, shoplifting, were we? Well, I can turn you over to the cops, or you can bend over this shopping trolley..."

Oh no, not the dreaded female blood-sucking biological weapon!

Ohhhh my...! 

This game is seriously insane. A fully-realized 3D shooter element which pre-dates Doom and has, arguably, a better 3D engine with the ability to look up and down? That's nuts!

Great...snapping...arseholes. HOW was there enough of a fandom for this random piece of 90s multimedia crap?!

According to Google Translate, the title of this game means "Cordyceps sinensis" which is apparently a type of fungus which grows on caterpillars, and now I have so many questions...

This seems to be one of those weird reverse-case scenarios where the game came out on a console first, then received a PC release years later. And they didn't even add in any H-scenes. The scenario sounds really interesting, but I don't see that this ever got an English translation. Alas...

Another successful convert to the Gospel of the Divine Ponytail! Go forth, Brother @kitsunebi, and deliver further tidings of great joy!

is this a full magazine issue or some very short special edition?

This is the cover of Ultra Game Players, issue #92 which was a full magazine.

This is the 1996 video game yellow pages? I'm not seeing Inezh's phone number anywhere...

That's because this is volume one, dealing with contacts in Sales, Merchandising, Tech Support, and company addresses. You'll have to wait for volume 35, where they finally drill down to Talent Hired For FMV Games.

Well I got my then-girlfriend a copy of Monopoly (she actually wanted it) so I guess that was one point in my favor but if there was a pizza party I never got to enjoy it because I quit the job over anxiety of the upsell pressure, lol.

So the true pizza party was the friends you made along the way? Ah, I should have seen it coming.

This is pretty awesome. I worked at Funco in November of 1995 so I'm remembering some of these games and their prices. Special commission for every copy of Genesis Monopoly that you sell, Mike! Gotta get those numbers, Mike! DON'T YOU WANT A FUCKING PIZZA PARTY AT THE END OF THE MONTH MIIIIIKEEE!!?!?!

But..did you get the pizza party? And if so, how many copies of Monopoly for the Genesis did you push on unsuspecting kids in order to earn that pizza?

Oh, I am TOTALLY coming to get some!

Why is this in the Xbox section when it was published by Sony

Whoops! Made a mistake when I uploaded them. Thanks for the correction, @mvangord. It's been moved to the proper section.

Ah, a connoisseur of Choose Your Own Adventure tomes as well, I see!

Very nice! I see a number of books there which I do have, but many more which I do not.

Calm down, big boy. 2003 was a long time ago.

Yeah, I know, but that's how it was designed. Like, that's literally what it looks like on the cover, that skewed angle with the orange bit.

What happen here?

Nothing. That's actually what the cover looks like.

I'm not entirely certain, but I don't think this lasted beyond its first issue. Nokia must have paid out the nose for this issue; ads for the NGAGE appear literally every third page, including the inside front, inside back, and back cover.

Ooooh! Working on some new Japanese magazine scans?

I had this.  Nice to see some of the "we can't license any official images" era of strategy guides on this site.  I also had the BradyGames guide which was slightly better since it didn't devote tons of page space to a bunch of GamePro-ass comic book people.  Also this guide refers to a Shy Guy as a "ghost Koopa".

The "unofficial/unauthorized" era of guide making is one of my favorite. I intend to keep adding more of them to the site, including this one which I just picked up the other day.

Finally! With this I can start my sheep empire, and none will be able to stop me!
