I hope to track down a working MSX one of these days so I can actually play it, but I know that’s definitely going to hurt my wallet in a way I’m not ready for. 😅 This was the very first Parodius game releasing 2 years before Parodius Da.12 Jun 2025 00:36 +0000at://did:plc:ht5flpriz34othnrdcdw64oe/app.bsky.feed.post/3lreoj7eexk23https://bsky.app/profile/rewindarcade.bsky.social/post/3lnm3mag5kc2lHappy 27th birthday to the TRUE Mega Man 9 / Rockman 9!
