Abobo Sighting, and Cyberangel 12/12/12

Let's see, the last time I went to the local arcade (EDIT: Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH), played a bunch of pinball: Medieval Madness, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Tron Legacy. Some Skee-Ball, Popeye (developed by Nintendo, believe it or not), and Road Fighter. Then around the corner, they turned one of the old machines into Abobo's Big Adventure. So if anyone want to experience the game in an actual arcade setting, yeah. Since I don't have an arcade stick, or played it on the custom-made Abobo arcade cabinet, this was the next best thing, and was awesome. I wish that more people would play it, maybe if they stick a giant "FREE PLAY" sign on it.

So now, after releasing the Nightwish music video, I'm working on the Cyberangel series, effectively rebooting the first two arcs and release the beginning of the third and final arc on 12/12/12. Looking back at the old scripts, there was some tightening up and elaborations that I needed to do. I'll be looking for voice actors, but if you know my record, I'll be looking for more female VAs than males. News of that will come up when it's ready.

Until then.

Funny thing about the 'Popeye' game; Donkey Kong was originally supposed to be a game about Popeye, but nintendo didn't get the rights, so they replaced all the sprites with new characters. After the huge success of Donkey Kong, Nintendo then gained the rights to use the characters. Funny though, that if they hadn't declined we wouldn't have both the Mario and the Donkey Kong franchises.

Yeah, it's amazing how that one little thing helped create some of the most iconic characters in gaming. My mind is blanking right now, but I think they had Donkey Kong, Jr. setup right next to it, so that's a nice subtle nod to its history.

That is so fucking cool! It would blow my mind to walk in to an arcade and see this there!

Awesome! I'm glad you found it. The people in charge over there contacted us to get the marquee art and stuff.

They really took some amazing initiative to set themselves apart from all the other arcades out there by doing that.

SO COOL!
