- When the arcade came home: a short oral history of the Neo Geo - 23 May 2021
Sega and Nintendo stole the headlines in the 90s, but SNK stole the imaginations of a generation with its exquisite Neo Geo machine, a console that fully delivered on the promise of arcade quality video games in your own home: it was, after all, an arcade machine you could effectively put under your own TV.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. It’s no secret that I like pretty fighting games like The King Of Fighters XIII . While I’ve never been as into SNK’s style of fighting as I have Capcom’s Street Fighter, the genre’s shift away from hand-drawn sprites to 3D models has never appealed to me. It made Ken’s hair look like a bunch of bananas, and that’s a cardinal sin. It’s sad, then, that KoF XIII was the last sprite-based game before SNK followed with its own crude 3D models. (more…)

- Request for an increase of the number of Closed Beta testers - 21 August 2013
I am thinking of increasing the number of testers for "KOF XIII Steam Edition" Closed Beta Test by 50 players. The first 300 testers have been chosen fairly and without any region preference.

The winners of this new lottery will be carefully selected among the candidates who have previously registered themselves during the first beta tester campaign, and will be notified by email and in the KOF XIII Closed Beta Test relevant forum later in the week.
