You know, games like the Pitfall series, the non-arcade Bionic Commando games, and (of course) the Metroid and map-based Castlevania games. I&#8217;m really looking forward to seeing what this site turns into as I&#8217;m a big fan of this game style.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><center><IMG SRC=\"https:\/\/scrollboss.illmosis.net\/photos\/memoirsofavirtualcaveman_2014sitepic.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nThe new edition of Rob &#8220;Dire&#8221; Strangman&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.memoirsofavirtualcaveman.net\/\">Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman<\/a>&#8221; is now available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memoirsofavirtualcaveman.net\/\">http:\/\/www.memoirsofavirtualcaveman.net<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a ton of new content, including contributions and interviews with David Crane (Pitfall!), Howard Scott Warshaw (Yars&#8217; Revenge, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Yuzo Koshiro (soundtracks of Streets of Rage, the Revenge of Shinobi, Actraiser), Kouichi &#8220;Isuke&#8221; Yotsui (director of arcade Strider, Cannon Dancer\/Osman), Sushi-X (EGM), Sam Roberts (The Light Sword Cypher Mainframe),  Caitlin <a href=\"http:\/\/cipater.net\/\">&#8216;Cipater&#8217;<\/a> Oliver (Splatterhouse hi-score record breaker) and so many others that my hands would be tired if I added them all. Just go to the site and see for yourself! BTW: I drew the cover, but don&#8217;t let that stop you from buying the book!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Due to the upcoming move to a different apartment (much like last year), this anniversary update is small because I needed time to pack. I&#8217;ll try to make up for that by having a few bigger updates in August and September, the 8th and 9th months of the year, to give some serious love to the Revenge of 1989 theme.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to thank everyone who has visited this site, contributed to it, or spread the word about it. This site is (usually) fun to work on, but it&#8217;s even more fun when other people can enjoy it, too. I&#8217;ll keep working to make it more fun for you and I hope you keep coming back. In fact, I hope something there convinces you to make game-related things of your own.
