A cutesy homebrew Game Boy game, sort of like a vertically oriented Balloon Kid. There's a Kickstarter going on for a GBC update too, complete with a physical cart!

It's the end for the original line of King's Quest games, as it tried to go Disney, then morphed into a not-so-great action-RPG. Also covered is the still in-progress fan game The Silver Lining. Still to come - a review of the (sort of!) reboot from a few years ago!

One of Sega's later 2D arcade racers, later ported to the Saturn under the name Gale Racer. It's not quite iconic at the OutRun games but it's alright, and is technically the world's introduction to Sonic the Hedgehog.

One major thing I've been wanting to do for Patreon donors is to commission some more exclusive artwork of retro properties, the kind of stuff that might not get a lot of attention otherwise in fan artwork circles. Here's the first one from HG101 regular cover artist, Rusty Shackles, doing Sega's classic cosmic blaster, Alien Syndrome.
In the near future, we'll be creating 4x6 postcards featuring this art on one side, and information about the game on the back. These will be mailed out ...
