January bonus #4: Baseball Stars (Neo Geo Pocket / Game Boy Works Gaiden) (Patreon)

I dunno, maybe I should have branded this NGP Works or something. Oh well!

ANYWAY. Here is the first proper episode of my Neo Geo Pocket/Color series—that is, the first episode about a game rather than the system or market conditions into which it was birthed. I had originally planned to make this series a quick, condensed thing that covers several games per episode in compact form, but you know what? No. I'm going to take my time with NGP/C and luxuriate in its greatness. Revel in it! Bask!

Looking at the state of the world right now and the way things are trending, I realize it might be foolhardy to embark upon a years-long commitment like this. I am not an optimistic person by nature, but let this be the one spark of hope I let slip into the universe: the possibility that I'll make it through the entire monochrome and U.S. color library for this system. At the very least, I promise to stay alive long enough to get the black-and-white library wrapped. That's a guarantee from me to you.

For now, though, please enjoy tiny grey men playing baseball 27 years ago.
