So, I decided to ad a custom firmware to a Miyoo A30. Is it really an improvement over stock?

We’re going for a classic computer game this week on battle of the ports and one that was quite impressive for the early 80’s.

One of the games I sank so much time in to as a teenager.  
This is Data East’s Thunder Sirm, also known as Combra Command on this week’s Battle of the Ports.

Sega had some crazy ideas back in the day. Why else would they come up with a fighting dux who is refereed in a boxing match by KFC’s very own Colonel Sanders  
This is Battle of the Ports Remastered release of Dynamite Dux.

I enjoyed the Dynamite Dux video because somehow I never saw that game back in the olden days. Crazy stuff.

I also noticed you haven’t done any Life in Japan videos lately. Just no time to get out and about? No subject matter to show? I do enjoy the slice of life style ones with video at some random street corner, shop, or restaurant.

A movie and game remembered mostly for naked men fighting in the sauna.

Also, good timing on Nights as it is apparently being delisted for sale worldwide.

That was indeed good timing on NiGHTS. I hope the video allowed a few people to buy it before it is delisted.
