In January, ZAGE released two new titles for the ZEPS2 console: Super Mario World 2, developed by ZAGE Tokyo, and Kirby’s Dream Land 2, produced by ZAGE Osaka.

Saturday 9 January 1996 Morning.

Zaboru wasn’t working this morning as he usually did. Instead, he chose to start his day with a workout, running a considerable distance from his office.

It was still early, and the restaurant hadn’t opened to the public yet. But Zaboru had...

Chapter 633 Rest of December 

First of all ZAGE are releasing 4 games this month which are R-Type DX , Wario Land 2 for ZGB and E.V.O Search of Eden for ZEPS 2 and Elder Scroll 2 arena.

For R-Type DX, Zaboru hasn't altered much, preserving the solid handheld side-scrolling shoot-'em-up gameplay that fans love. The controls remain tight, the pacing energetic, and the challenge level just right for portable play.

For Wario Land 2, Zaboru didn’t make major changes but rather enhanced the graphics and ove...

Chapter 631 "Legally" Acquiring Green Leaf

At the Hamazou household, Akechi Hamazou smiled faintly. "I can't believe it—I'm actually being ordered around by someone," he muttered with a small chuckle. In his active Yakuza days, when he was known as the infamous Rashomon of Hamazou, no one would have dared to give him orders. Now, having transitioned into the role of a businessman—owner of the video game company Akaishidan and the security firm Aoshidan—he had grown more relaxed. Still, his responsibilities in the security...

Anime Manga Blah Blah

(My mind are really tired so i just want to speak nonsense like this might delete it later)

i can’t even believe this is happening—so many of you are actually eager when I just mention the Big 3 and anime.

At first, I only wanted to include anime and manga as side projects without diving too deeply. You probably noticed how I just casually mentioned them. But since plenty of you are excited for more anime and manga content, I’ll probably add more. This novel might not only...

Chapter 624 Ruruouni Kenshin Feedbacks.

28 November Friday 1995

Just a couple of days have passed since the release of Rurouni Kenshin and two other ZAGE titles, Hello! Pacman and Cybernator. So far, Rurouni Kenshin has been receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from players.

Chapter 623 Ruruouni Kenshin 

24 November 1995 Saturday

Wataru had just returned home and earlier today, he picked up the latest batch of ZAGE games released this month. He let out a long sigh. “Damn, ZAGE keeps pumping out new games every single month! How am I supposed to buy them all?” Wataru groaned. Now a college student, he had always been a huge fan of ZAGE titles. The problem was, ZAGE’s output was relentless—releasing two to three high-quality games every month. Even though he wanted to get t...

Thanks to DVD technology, it was now possible to store an entire movie on a single dis...

Just Asking

Do you guys want more detailed drama? Were you disappointed with how quickly I wrapped up some parts—for example, how Zanki’s plan was solved just like that?

Honestly, at first I wanted to focus on those moments in depth, but it would have taken a long time, and I thought many of you might get annoyed. So, I just skimmed through it.

Let me know if you’d prefer otherwise. That way, in the future, if I create another drama, I can make it more complete.

And honestly I'...

Chapter 621 Unexpected for Zanki and Toshiba. 

8 November 1995

At the Toshiba offices, Zanki Zagashira stood beaming with pride as he gazed upon the latest product from the company—a machine he had poured months of energy and excitement into. It was none other than the groundbreaking TEN CD Player, also fondly referred to as the 10 CD Player or even the Heavenly CD Player by those in the marketing team. This revolutionary device was the first of its kind: a CD player that could hold and play up to 10 discs simultaneously, p...

Chapter 620 Philips and ZAGE DVD player Almost Ready

Monday 5 November 1995.

Zaboru was now inside the Philips offices in Japan, sitting down for a meeting with Jan Timmer, the CEO of Philips. With a polite smile, he asked, “So Jan, how’s the progress on the DVD player going?

Jan grinned and nodded. “We are, Zaboru. And let me tell you—it’s going smoothly. Many movie producers are excited to partner with us be...

In October 1995, ZAGE released three new titles: two arcade games and one for PC. The first was Streets of Rage 2 for arcades, much to the delight of longtime fans of the original.

Chapter 618 Horror Games and Meeting Some Grandpa

This time, Ayumi won't be accomp...

Chapter 617 Zaboru Usual Schedule

Monday 5 October 1995.

Zaboru's schedule is nothing short of insane—he almost never takes a break from working or thinking about what’s next for ZAGE. He starts his day very early. By 6:00 AM, Zaboru was already inside the ZAGE offices in Japan. He quickly brews himself a cup of coffee and jumps straight into work, always starting earlier than anyone else in the company even though he is the owner of the company.

Before the official workday begins, Zaboru often spends t...

Chapter 616: Big 3 

Saturday, October 3, 1995

Zaboru was in his office, as usual, working through the weekend. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as he leaned back in his chair, a cup of lukewarm coffee beside him. Though he was still based in the Japan office, his mind wasn’t on his usual tasks. Today, he was plotting something far larger than his typical game development cycle. Not exactly game-related—at least, not at the start—but tied to his anime projects. Today, he was thinking abou...

Information

Well, I’ve just realized that the Rest of Month chapters are quite boring, especially since I mostly only described the games and damn Those chapters really require a lot of research, so I might change the format in near future. I may not focus too much on the games that were released if Zaboru didn’t change much about them.

And what do you think of those chapters guys, does it bored you to read them? or you enjoying it?
