Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖
I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.
The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗
The magazine continues with an article about the Street Fighter II Game Boy port. 📖
Never played this game as a kid, not even on other platforms. The only fighting game I experienced back in the days was Tekken 3 on PS1. 🤼♂️
Taking inspiration from the legendary vertical handheld consoles, AYANEO Pocket DMG marks a return to the roots of handheld gaming aspirations," says the company. The system has only been seen in close-up images so far, but appears to be based on the Game Boy...
My #GameBoy case from when I was little. The #console yellowed a bit with the years, but it still works fine, from when things were made to last and tech wasn't so finicky. I didn't have many games, so I beat all the ones I had. Mostly Super Mario Land series, Wario Land, R-Type, Metroid, etc. That Prince of Persia game was also good fun and very difficult. I don't collect for the console anymore. It's just a token of my childhood now. #Nintendo#videogames
Just in case you need some pretty beefy save codes for a 34 year old #gameboy game:
ULY6 E6DF - First Town
T61G 47FB - Second Town
F0FU FR96 - Third Town
PFXQ WZCA - Fourth Town
PFXY 0ZGM - Fifth Town
DAJG PL19 - Final Town (right before the final boss)
The article dives into how well many peripherals and accessories can be emulated. It focuses exclusively on officially licensed hardware that software interacted with. In brief:
Most stuff is emulated just fine (37/47)
A small % needs just a bit more work (9/47)
Only 1 item is completely unemulated
We've done a lot of work over the years, and it shows!

I'm not very experienced with #pixelart and the render resolution is a bit low, but I kind of like it. What do you think?
