MONSTERS CONQUER THE WORLD

After more than ten years of being mostly broken, my website's original main content - its geocities-era video game enemy and boss collections - is now almost completely working, except the alt text likely doesn't display in all browsers. This is one of the other things I've done instead of the usual non-stop new Halloween articles, and I'll be updating other things I've neglected when I can :)

ヨングと恐竜チュチュ/ 영구와 공룡 쭈쭈【1993/韓国】

喜劇役者シム・ヒョンレ（심형래）が演じるおバカキャラ・ヨングが仲良くなった赤ちゃん恐竜のチュチュと巻き起こす騒動を描いた映画。盗賊にさらわれたヨングとチュチュを助けるために母親恐竜がソウルで大暴れするシーンは「ヨンガリ」へのオマージュとのこと。シム・ヒョンレ自身が製作と監督を兼ねている。未見。

King Kong 【1966/印】

「キングコング」というタイトルのインド映画。だが、残念ながら巨猿は登場せず、キングコングとは屈強な男の称号のようだ。でも、怪獣は出てくるぞ！

"Grandma!"

Metroid turns 40 today. 🎂 The first game in the series, Metroid, released on this day in 1986 on the Famicom.

The game introduced players to a nonlinear world built around backtracking and gated exploration, a structure so influential that an entire genre of games, Metroidvania, carries its name.

It was also one of the first games to have the protagonist be a female, which is kept a secret through the first game, only revealed at the end if the player does well enough on their playthrough.
