As I wrote in a post this past summer, Taito is releasing the Taito LD Game Collection in Japan later this year, including HD remasters of their three animated laserdisc arcade classics Time Gal, Ninja Hayate, and Space Battleship Yamato. It was also noted that the collector’s edition would include a serial code for a bonus game, called Time Gal Reverse. But what is it?

The Metroid Database — the website I started in 1996 — is beginning its annual Metroid Marathon today, and for the first time, I am making my return to the MDb to participate!
With this being the anniversary month of the MDb (launched on October 16, 1996), each October they do a marathon in which they livestream every game in the Metroid series. With the franchise now totaling 14 games, and some of them requiring quite a few hours to complete, that provides plenty of daily content to last throughout the month. This year, they have graciously invited me to be a part of it, and I am honored to have been given the prestigious position of playing through the original Metroid on October 16 at 9:30 pm CDT, live on Twitch!
As you may know, October 16 is also significant because it’s the anniversary of the launch of Retro Game SuperHyper (that was intentional), so it’ll be a fun way to celebrate. I hope you all swing by and watch, chat, and join in the fun!
I will be playing the game on original hardware — no emulators — and there may be a surprise or two as well. I’ve been training hard, playing Metroid 1 over and over, so that I can give you a good show!
Find the full schedule HERE at the MDb. Please check out the MDb’s Metroid Marathon daily at the MDb’s Twitch channel, and follow the RGSH Twitch channel too (the MDb’s channel will also be linked through my channel when they’re streaming). Can’t wait to see you there!
