Any new year resolutions? (to be fair I didn't pick one)

Sort of. I made a list of some things I want to try to do or change this year and so far I haven't had the energy to follow through on any of them

Best non-licensed console fighting games?

the Vast Fame ones on GBC. They use the engine from Takara's KOF games so they were working from a solid foundation but they're really good. Especially Queen Fighter 2000

Favorite original (i.e. not a ROM hack) bootleg/unlicensed title? Could be from either a "genuinely enjoyable" or "hilariously jank" viewpoint.

Squirrel King. It's one of my favourite Mega Drive games overall & probably the best example of Gamtec's work on the system. Fun to play, great music & a bunch of charm

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

Actually it comes from ovum because people used to bake eggs in them in the olden days

Favorite bootleg romhack?

Monster Go Go Go. between the adorable chubby pikachu sprite and meowth reciting the haters version of My Heart Will Go On there's no contest really

Did you ever use a BBC Micro?

yes at primary school! this was in the 90s so they were already out of date & the school only "officially" used them for some simple educational programs. but because my mum worked at the school I often had to stay late and would mess around with them. eventually I taught myself BASIC from an old library book which was my first experience of programming. so that thing basically set me on the trajectory for a whole life of being a big computer nerd and a career as a professional(?) software developer

What gaming consoles (or computers) did you play on as a kid?

Are there any clone consoles that you’re desperate to own but haven’t yet been able to find?

In terms of hardware clones not really. But I would quite like to get hold of any Sunplus-hardware plug n play consoles with Nice Code games, a few of them were advertised by Qi Sheng Long but may not have actually been released. I really want to see what kind of work Nice Code was doing on the more advanced hardware, it felt like they were starting to hit their creative stride with their later VT03 games but the whole plug n play market was collapsing on its arse and so they sadly ended up being mostly known and maligned for the famiclone shovelware stuff they did around 2003
