The website is very cool, they have a patreon and it lets them pay authors of articles based on word count and they've also tried to go back and pay older contributors with book sales. One of the most respectable gaming websites around IMO

There's no hg101 guy, anybody can write for the website. There's one guy who curates and owns the website but I don't know if he's the one who wrote that particular article about the Amiga version of akira

Until today I was also under the impression that hg101 was all one guy but this whole time they've had an index of the articles by author

The owner of the site isn't Angry Akira guy and it looks like he wrote most of the articles i like on the site so I'm fine with considering him hg101 guy.

Ahh that explains it. Yeah, it's a really good site, really liked their articles on ancient rare games like Segagaga and such which had an insane amount of research.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I wonder if they'll do articles on request. I really wanted to read a hg101 article on the NG4 Wonder Project J sequel but there wasn't one, somehow

"In the Shadow of the Colossus art book interview with Ueda he states: 'In order to bear the responsibility, I did all the animations for the smaller animals… I was actually thinking of putting geckos into Ico. Fish and bats, too. But we weren’t able [to]'" cool

This site is amazing because their reviews have two different scores for Christian Morality and Technical Aspects so SMT4A has 29 on the former and 96 on the latter.

Ah, hello. I’m M. FuRuRu.

What do you know, this is my first project at Konami! After a year of causing trouble for everyone I’ve finally made it to the end. I could tell you some personal stories, but it would just end up being a bunch of rumours, so let’s just get down to it: here are some of the rumours and stories surrounding the development of Akumajou Dracula x68000…

I’ll start with something light. That medusa’s laughing voice was done by that Oba-san everyone knows. <-- Of course! Anyone can tell that from one listen. [Oba-san means older woman, and probably is referring to some unnamed person at Konami.]

If you change the sampling rate and then enter the Tower of Dolls, you might feel as if you’re suddenly attacked by a horde of okama. With their throaty voices, “IIiiyaaaa”…

No one under 18 is permitted in the Tower of Dolls. When people came here during the bug checking everything suddenly got quiet…

When the She-wolf returns to human form she looks directly at the player. That was a request from a certain honorable fellow. At first we had her just lying face down. The tragic She-Wolf.

The skull knight doing chun-li cosplay… that enemy we based off Capcom’s super-famous character.

The archer guy in the garden has his junk swaying in the breeze. And yet there’s no wind… this was censored and removed.

When we first saw the cover illustration, it looked like Simon had a 5 o’clock shadow. And he appeared to have a stupid grin on his face too. It was actually an issue with the colors on the fax copy we received.

Dracula should be having a drink even though its the final battle! We talked about that. The idea was he would be lounging around when Simon comes and drags him into a fight.3

Those bats on the title screen are moving at supersonic speed. This is just an estimate. They could be moving even faster.

On the Sunday night just before the final master app was due, I heard a rapping sound at the door. This is true. It’s true, it’s true I tell you… but none of the other staff believed me. They said I was lying. But it wasn’t a lie–’twas merely a ruuumourrr…

Since starting the review some new things became normal. I never got any sleep at night so I was constantly dozing off at work. My 3 meals a day became 4 meals a day. I’d have a drink with dinner and a drink before bed. Thanks to that lifestyle I gained 10 kilos. Take responsibility, Konami!! (;_;)

Remember, its Akumajou, not Akumejou Dracula. [A play on words: akume means “orgasm” and “jou” means young woman.]
