@“Chopemon”#p137329 « Manco » phonetically is the most common word to describe female genitalia in Japanese. Surely an innocent mistake from a bored young store clerk or mischievous middle-schoolers.
@“◉◉maru”#p137334 lmao, that's good
This week’s Arcade Archives release is Exvania (1992), the Namco game that tried really hard to upset both Konami and Hudson, way before Konami = Hudson.
There’s something charming about the blatant disregard for intellectual property of the 80s and early 90s arcade game scene. Feels almost like a scrappy artistic free for all in a post IP world. Information Bomberman wants to be free

I know I’m fixating, but on my own personal crusade against this game’s wildly bad and bafflingly sparse soundtrack selections, I have curated a playlist of soothing, puzzle-friendly Namco Museum and Namco “Arrangement” series arcade cuts for everyone’s use in Picross S Namco Legendary Edition. Or for your daily meditation or walks in the park
(if you click the video, it should bring you to the whole playlist)

Thank you. Namco Museum is one of the first games I ever had, and one of like 3 playstation games I had so this is very nostalgic.

you’re very welcome – it was really fun to take my bafflement at “why did they pick these tracks from a 40+ year catalog?” and turn that into an exercise of finding existing Namco music from the featured games that would also work as ambient puzzle solving music. those Namco Museum tracks are incredible
