On Bluesky @vgdensetsu

A final reminder for those who are still here: almost all the people in my timeline have moved to the other site and no longer post here (where it's already been a bit dead for a few months), so: this account remains open, but I won't be posting anymore. See you there!

@FRANKxZAKKA Hello Mr Hayakawa! I recently came across this illustration presumably done in the late 80s and wondered if it was you who drew it:

@Arc_Hound @rjfrazer It's Yoshitaka Tamaki. vgdensetsu.net/2_YoshitakaTam…

@rjfrazer I think so. I'll look it up when I get the chance, but @VGDensetsu probably already has a thread on the artist.

Character model sheets and illustrations for the Super Famicom RPG Feda: The Emblem of Justice, unearthed, including artwork of unused characters.

@Tony_T2ARTWORKS こんにちは、Tonyさん。ゲーメストでダンク・ドリームのイラストを描かれたとのことですが、以下の2つのイラストのどちらかでしょうか？

@verionj There's as little activity on Tumblr as there is on Twitter or Mastodon now. I mainly used it to post articles before I had my own site.

@VGDensetsu Pitty. But you will still post on tumblr?

あなたの知らないゲームショーの世界

@ObsoleteSony Sorry for the crappy shot, apparently I am bad at camera

@rew_w I see. Thank you very much for the info!

@VGDensetsu I don't know where you heard this story, but from the beginning of its planning and production, it was intended for the Mega Drive and had nothing to do with the Mega CD. A Japan-only product at the end of the Mega Drive era.

なぜか需要がある様で、ちょっとだけ。 30周年だし。 まずはパッケージのプリント見本から以下に続く。 For some reason, there seems to be a demand for it, so I'm going to scan it a bit. Let's start with a sample print of the package. Continued below. #Sega #MegaDrive #TheHybridFront

@rew_w Hi! I read that The Hybrid Front started as a Mega-CD game. Do you know anything about this version?

Colored images for "Character Database" in the game

@SlibTheSlime I'll take a look at my HDD tonight, but I dont remember seeing the game being reviewed in a French magazine.

@VGDensetsu My understanding is Vasum (Dando) was also previewed and advertised in a few French video game magazines, too. Finding the review copy would really be something if it still exists.

Vasum / バザム, AKA Dando, an unreleased Mega Drive game advertised in the Japanese manual of Treco's Atomic Robo-Kid (1990).

Sal Velluto also penciled the box art for Justice League Task Force (inked by George McVey). Nice to see Sal's website capture his video game credits so clearly: velluto.com/list.html

Thanks to this old 1986 portfolio image from Mark Fisher posted by @thatsgoodweb, OVGA was able to identify and confirm with Mark that he illustrated the box art for Infocom’s Leather Goddesses of Phobos! Unfortunately the original art was never returned 😠

Vasum / Dando advertised as Treco's third Mega Drive game in the manual of Kyūkyoku Tiger and illustrated by Yasushi Torisawa / 酉澤安施 (spoiler: it was never released) gamemanual.midnightmeattrain.com/entry/%E7%A9%B…

このドットアニメーションを作った人がXをはじめたようです ↓ 寿ひろみ @FluOUGWNM997870

仲井さとしさん（旧名中井覚さん）@SatoshiNakai7で思い出したんですが、アクトレイザー２のマニュアルとかポスター用の絵って、仲井さんが描いてるんですよね 私が「ドットは置けるけど、この世界感の紙のイラストは無理」ってクインテットに仲井さんを紹介したんじゃないかな…って思います たぶん

The House of the Dead how it was meant to be played.

Greg Hildebrandt passed away yesterday at the age of 85. An illustrator who collaborated with his twin brother Tim (1939-2006) on the Lord of the Rings licence and on the UK poster for Star Wars Episode IV in the 1970s, ... facebook.com/hildebrandt.gr… 1/3
