New blog post time!

This week's game is Lock On, a PC-88 gambling game that's all about playing roulette so you can see various girls.

Between the repetition, lack of stakes, and very questionable direction it goes in, I can't say I recommend playing this! It is a curious little footnote, though:

Ephemeral Enigmas · Lock OnLock On is really something else; it’s a game, but it’s not really a challenge. It expects player input, but it doesn’t really care that much about it. It has things to show you, …

This week's game is Puzzle Kana?, a PC-88 doujin Sokoban game with a twist or two to offer. Not only are you pushing plenty of blocks, you're pushing balls into holes too! Cute intermissions break things up nicely as well.

And yes, the question mark is part of the game's title:

Hello all, I'm from the #FujiNet project, #ESP32 based, which aims to put a WiFi network adapter on every #retrocomputing and #retrogaming platform.

With this device, we can not only stream software to our favorite vintage computing devices, but we can also engage in cross platform gaming and other software.

We are trying to maximize our reach by working through a generic 8-bit parallel bus protocol that could be used on anything with a card edge; to use an #RP2040 as a bus front-end. This way, we could reach #TRS80 #IBMPC #NES #SMS #Intellivision #Atari2600 #MSX #S100 #PC88 #PC98 #Astrocade and so much more.

More pics from my PC 8801.

I got the floppies (TEAC 53Bs) out which was a chore. The mainboard is immaculate with a few socketed chips lots of TTH chips and one incongruous SMD LSI looking chip. The power supply, in contrast, is in really rough shape. It almost looks like it was under water at some point. I'm going to have to get a look inside before I'd think about powering it on. #retrocomputing #pc88 #nec

Continued thread

In typical NEC fashion, the inside is crammed full of stuff. Interestingly, what I assume is the kana ROM is on a separate daughter board on top of the power supply. Also, the battery is in great shape and none of the caps I can see have leaked. Now, I have to decide if I want to spend twice what the computer cost to get a VGA cable. 😅 #retrocomputing #pc88 #nec

The idea is it's a shoujo-ai visual novel with a gameplay element where you have to care for strawberry plants and help them grow.

Minu ga Hana (見ぬが花) is a japanese idiom which roughly translates to 'the fantasy was better than reality', for when real life doesn't match your expectations.
