Elevator Action Returns


Elevator Action Returns, one of my favorite videogames of all time. The simple but detailed intro animation is something that was great about arcade games in the 90s.

Otaku no Seiza



Box art for Otaku no Seiza, a 1991 RPG for Nintendo Famicom. The crown on the logo is a nice touch. 

"The game is a combination of science fiction and comedy. A nameless hero arrives in a city where women have stolen the rights of men. The player controls the man as he tries to free men in the city."
