The mailbag from Super Play 14 - December 1993 (UK)
Didn’t expect Nadia from The Secret of Blue Water to turn up as artwork on an envelope.
Watched the pilot episode last month and really enjoyed it. Seems really sweet.
This reminds me that I need to check out the rest of the series. 😊

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I can hardly even imagine.
The language barrier can be significant for many things though. Especially RPGs which were some of the absolute best from Japan in that timeframe. I’ve done it with a few games like the Pop’n Music games on the PS2 (not released outside of Japan of course.) Luckily the interface was super easy to figure out.

That’s why I taught myself katakana and then hiragana back in the later half of the 90’s, so I could at the very least read the menus for the most part.
That didn’t stop me from importing a lot of RPGs and trying to muddle my way through them, sometimes with a massive printout FAQ next to me. 😅
