Even after all these years, there's still tons of weird stories out there. The box art for (Western) Alien Storm was drawn by a man called Lee MacLeod. Nothing super unusual here - video game publishers (particularly in the US) rarely drew their covers in-house. But this is a new one to me - Mr. MacLeod made so much art that they were turned into trading cards. There were 60 of these, some of which were shiny-uh... "Tekchrome" cards.
The Sheffield UK band did a collab song with Babymetal. About 0:30-0:40 in, he mentions graphics are on N64 level but "it could get as bad as Sega Saturn".
Oh Canada https://archive.org/details/Canadia...agazine April May 1990/page/8/mode/2up?q=sega I don't know what this "Sega video game tournament" is - it might want a page, but this article is really vague.
After beating 2017's Cuphead I had a read of the (extensive) development history behind the game. We have the game listed on the wiki, but we're only scratching the surface - the brothers behind it grew up with a Sega Master System, and there's tons of Sega-inspired content in the final product. There's a (probably short-lived) watermarked mirror of The Art of Cuphead that details some of it.
archive.org does its magic once more: https://archive.org/details/cd_like...-pictu_amerie-b2k-fabolous-fundisha-jagged-ed Film I've never heard of has NBA 2K2 music in its soundtrack. I assume the game turns up in the movie, otherwise this would be even weirder.
I was watching Karl Jobst's video on Elon Musk's Quake achievements the other day - the shocking realisation that just because an event isn't listed online, doesn't mean it didn't happen. https://archive.org/details/cd_mini...n-ferris-jason-midro-4-clubbers-azzi/mode/1up There is precisely one guy on the internet that can remember this happening.
Something slightly different Sega Retro's TODO page has a list of "Sega articles in non-Sega magazines", but this January 2020 issue of "Modern Classics" is a gaming edition. And that means Sega Rally and OutRun. Apparently Jeremy Clarkson can beat Tiff Needell at Sega Rally. So there's a fact for you.
So. Uh. Sonic and DC comics are crossing over. Sonic racing Flash, Metal Sonic fighting batman, etc. This is... weird.
Hey Death, looks like these image links died. Can you reupload them here, or just upload them to the wiki directly? I have a lot of my plate right now and it would help a lot. thanks!
