I gave my old Donkey Kong Country video a complete overhaul to make it fit in with the current sub-series about development tools and techniques. I also added Killer Instinct, one of my fav arcadegames. Available for Youtube in 2021 only on Splashwave64 ;)

These are definitely the ones! I think my younger sister drew them circa April 1992, according to the date in the Fax. She said she was embarrassed to show the work in her younger days, but I'd say these are significant artworks and documents, guys?

For everyone with the slightest interest in (16-bit) video game development the book "Playing at the Next Level: A History of American Sega Games" by Ken Horowitz @Sega16 is a must read. It has been a very valuable source for me over the past years packed with indepth interviews

I found a proposal of the Revenge of Shinobi II faxed to me from SEGA in Feb 1993. Was I supposed to compose for it? I don't remember why I didn't, but maybe I was busy composing SOR3 by looking at the date. Anyway the music of ROS2 is so cool. I really love it.😄
