June Bonus #3: Namco Gal's Island VHS Rip (Patreon)
Content
I, uh, ended up grabbing a LOT of official video game-related VHS tapes from recent auctions. A lot. Some of these have already been posted on YouTube, including this one, but I've ripped them quite cleanly and upscaled them via Framemeister, so these new versions look pretty great (in my opinion). Anyway, I have so many tapes that I need to publish them more than once per month or else it'll take years to get them all posted.
So, this month's second video is Namco Gal's Island, a 1990 tape that highlights Namco arcade games to feature female characters in a prominent role. Or at that's the idea, anyway. Wonder Momo and Legend of Valkyrie, I can see for sure. Ladies front and center at the lead. Phelios and Bravoman, though? Questionable! But hey, it's a showcase for women in games and manages to be minimal creepy despite it vintage, so let's call it a win.
