Talking about obscure stuff, particularly regarding retro games.

Hey everyone! I have a question that could help me with a potential upcoming video:

Does anyone know what the first video game to have a dedicated sound test feature was?

There’s so many that have one that I’ve struggled to find one answer. From what I found, I found a few dating back to vague release dates in 1987, but I’m sure there were some that existed earlier than that.

Can you guess what games I’ll be talking about in next week’s video?

-A cancelled sequel to what’s probably the least popular of the major golden age arcade games.
-A game with a funny name that’s vastly overshadowed by its sister game that released the same day.
-Two games that both came out in 1993, one for the arcades by a recently formed developer, and the other for a home system created by the company most people from that new company came from. Both games have an extremely similar theme.

Even after months of figuring out what kind of format I would use and trying to condense as much information into it as possible, I’m honestly not very happy with how my last video turned out. I feel like I’ve kept putting myself in the shadow of what other people are doing, making videos just because no one else is making them, more than making them because they’re what I personally want to make. This year I want to move away from that. That doesn’t mean I won’t follow this video up, I still want to talk about some stuff on these lists regardless, but I’ve become a little less enthusiastic about doing it. Nonetheless, thank you to everyone who watched it and enjoyed it!

What best selling games for a console are you most excited to see me cover?

Thanks for the response to my latest video!

My next video is going to be one I teased back in June that’s been requested for a while. But I’m not sure what I want to do the week after that, so I’m here to ask: What other shoot em up topics would you like to see me cover?

I was planning on covering Sengoku Blade, but I’m a honestly a little Psikyo’d out after the Gunbird video and would rather not repeat things I already said for a while. I’ll hear out any requests for future retro shoot em up reviews, unless it involves CAVE or Touhou, not that I have anything against them, but I feel topics related to them are better suited for people more familiar with them. Also, Shikigami no Shiro is still a bit of blind spot for me as well. But I’ll take any other suggestions!
