Vigilante: A Home Port Comparison ( i.imgur.com )
Vigilante was a 1988 Irem coin-op, a kind of spiritual successor to 1984’s Kung Fu Master/Spartan X.

Text-based games!(?)
Even though we got a computer in the mid to late 90’s, a shitty DOS-box that no-one kind of really knew how to do anything with, I was infinitely interested in anything to do with it. I remember playing Guerrilla Wars and some dungeon crawlers on it and such, but I feel like I almost entirely missed out on text-based games. I...

I love looking at retro gaming channels and this one caught my eye (I was looking for a Final Fantasy artbook review). He seems to have frequent updates, likes (J-) RPGs and the videos have this calm, relaxing quality (similar maybe to Noah Caldwell-Gervais) which seems to be quite rare on Youtube, where everything has to be...
