Ai Cho Aniki!

Post by Awbacon »

I’ve been doing a series of “odd” games for my YouTube channel, and I wanted to do one from the Cho Aniki series.

Has anyone else ever played this? I never hear it mentioned but I think it’s a damn good shmup. Great music, fun gameplay, solid controls, etc



Check it out if you want, but I’d love to hear what you think about the game itself if you’ve played :)

(Btw there is a contest on my YT page to give away a free PS mini...it’s a puzzle to solve but feel free to get involved!)

Yes, I have it but i never cleared it. Its a fun and very weird shooter with the most obscure (but good) controls in a Shooting-Game. I didn't played it for a while now, i should give it another try.

Not seen that game before, but after watching your Youtube video I can only wonder WTF was going through the heads of the game developers? :lol: :wtf: :eh:

Lol I don’t know what the devs were thinking either, but it works! It’s the music that really sells it for me

The boss fight music at the end of the video is still one of the most hummable songs in video gaming to me

Tokyo Jungle - the best survival game featuring Pomeranians!

Post by Awbacon »



new episode live this morning on Tokyo Jungle :)

Just like Ai Cho Aniki last week, here’s another “odd” game...the only game where you can play as and breed Pomeranians that can wear stat buff hats and fight (and win against) tigers!

Trust me. Hidden gem!

Battle Tryst playthroughs! New on 10/11!

Post by Awbacon »

People asked for individual playthroughs, so I’ve uploaded four characters total. Two more total (Kika and Nadjeed) including their ending fmvs, which have never been on YT)

Anyone else get a chance to play Battle Tryst? It’s starting to grow on me. Rather than rare but I’m getting into it a bit.

Back then I thought that Tenth Degree looked and played better than this one.

Illbleed - a game I can never decide if I love or hate

Post by Awbacon »



Has anyone else ever played Illbleed ; like actually tried to play it from start to finish? I swear I've tried a half dozen times and I still just cant hang with the game...but for some reason I am still really into its brand of horror weirdness.

Decided to do a video on it for my "odd" game series, since its so far out in left field it's sitting in the bleachers, but I always like hearing other peoples opinions...so lmk!

Tokyo Jungle is a great game, but I think this video didn't really touch on most of what makes the game special. Just running around as a Pomeranian in the beginning is not very representative of the game as a whole. That's like... a few percentage of what the game is about maybe.

As you progress, you unlock more and more animals and things get progressively stranger until the twist finale which is quite wonderful :)

How to clean arcade PCBS! Or at least how I like to do it :)

Post by Awbacon »



I’d had some comments on videos asking how I clean stuff, especially bare pcbs. Figured I’d knock up a quick vid with my method. Probably all of you know how to do this, but I figured I’d post it here anyway. Would love to hear how you clean your stuff :)

Deathsmiles - new video for my YT

Post by Awbacon »



Wanted to include my favorite horizontal shmup on my series of odd games, as I still can't figure out how a CAVE game got a physical release in the West, including a faceplate for the 360. We barely get any CAVE games ever yet this one got the royal treatment? Not complaining, just surprised.

Who else has had the chance to play Deathsmiles? I still need to pick up the sequel (which never released in the US physically) and check that out as well.

Konami RTC bypass mod - a work in progress

Post by Awbacon »



It's a work in progress, but I am getting closer every time I sit down and work on the project. I wanted to document my thought process and work flow in a series of videos, even if they end in me totally failing lol.

So far I've managed to get OG hardware running a slight variant of the original bios I wrote, and it boots fine. Still haven't identified where in hex the full boot routine exists on the disc / in the bios, but getting there! Hopefully will be helpful not for just M2 owners, but any owner of an RTC backed pcb, as I am sure Konami was pretty consistent about their designs.

Jumping Flash 2 - my favorite game featuring a robot rabbit!

Post by Awbacon »



Did anyone else enjoy the crap out of this game like I did back in the PS1 days? Something about how colorful, different, and downright weird the game was really charmed me. Then as soon as the second game came out the franchise seemed to go dormant forever.

Who else played these? I feel like they were ahead of their time. Number 2 literally has fps shooter levels in a platforming game about a rabbit. Weird stuff!
