Rediscovering the Sega/JVC WonderMega
I love the WonderMega. Its auto-raising lid and oversized LEDs, the karaoke functionality and MIDI port and S-video output make it the HiSaturn Navi of the 16-bit age. While tearing it apart for an upcoming recap job, I noticed some stuff.

I love me some joysticks. I’ve got a large collection of the silly things, and I like to poke at their guts, tinker with the setup, and swap parts when the urge strikes. This time I put new Seimitsu parts in a 1994 Hori Fighting Stick SS.

KEIKOU Control Panel
I bought a New Astro City cabinet that needed a lot of work on the control panel. I stripped it down, got the rust off, primed and painted it, then added a custom dark overlay and installed Seimitsu’s KEIKOU (fluorescent) buttons and Bulett knobs. It’s hard to photograph but it looks gorgeous in person.

Wonder Boy – A Sprite History
There are six Wonder Boy games. There are two number threes. There is no number two, four, or six. …And it gets a little weird from there. What started as a fairly solid skateboard simulator (with a fruit-gathering side-quest) became a platform action-RPG, a shooter, and… Many other things.

The Dreamcast has long been one of my top-5 consoles, and the GDEMU is an amazing multi-game loader that makes the Dreamcast even more awesome.
