Watched a youtube documentary about Falcom during the weekend that was fascinating.
When it comes to JRPGs all most people know is Squaresoft and Enix but Falcom might have had a much bigger influence on videogames than either company.
They made one of the first successful RPGs in japan with dragon slayer which arrived around the same time as Black Onyx. A lot of their games get ignored in terms of their impact on history because they focused on the PC market for so long but they were massive sellers there.
However their biggest contribution is just the insane amount of talent that came from the company. Most of them went on to bigger and better things. Yuzo Koshiro and his sister got their start there. Lots of developers that started with Falcom left and formed the likes of Quintet or created games like Lunar and Grandia. The studio head of Monolith soft and creator of the Xenoblade games left Falcom to join square to create Xenogears. And Makoto Shinkai who has been creating some of the best feature length anime from japan in the last few years got his start creating the art and cinematics for Falcom.

A little update on the game room. Since it's a small room I'm conscious of anything being too in your face or looking too busy, these consoles are off to the side as you enter the room so not overbearing. I have one more shelf but I might just move the books elsewhere to fit the PS1.
I also got a smaller chair, nothing fancy but comfortable enough to sit in for some gaming sessions. The other one was too bulky for the middle of the room.
Next on the to-do list is wall mount the TV and other misc tidying up like trimming the foam speaker pads, cable management etc. I don't mind the slow progress as I don't want to do it all at once and have it then into a cluttered mess.

Probably have to reduce texture quality and resolution a bit to get it to run smoothly.

Nintendo really should have built in some sort of stand on the new Game and Watch(as they have on the old retro versions). Anyway, I 3D printed a few simple stands from thingiverse and the below one works well and isn't too tight that it might damage the device.
For those with a 3D printer: Link

If anyone has the new Game and Watch and doesn't have a 3D printer, I can print them up the below stand if they want it(in Prusa Carmine Red PETG or Prusa Galaxy Black PLA to keep it simple).
No charge, just cover whatever the postage is(€1 probably). I'll leave it open until next Sunday(29th) and then post them off on the Monday or Tuesday.
As I said in another post, the stand is simple but works. It's not tight around the Game and Watch as it just sits in it rather than a friction fit. I'm sure if you want it to stay in there you could use blu tack or white tack or something like that.
