There will be multiple updates this year to do just that and this update starts with <a href=\"page.php?page=1989\">a revamp of the original articles<\/a> and a little something extra.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jXHgD_imAlI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Why am I celebrating this year so much? That video is only a hint at how many of the things this site celebrates just happened to have been made in 1989. So consider the next ten months a party as, from this day until December 31st, 2014, this site will try to give 1989 some long overdue respect. New articles will be added (including a series of awards), new sprites will be made of that year&#8217;s characters (I think it&#8217;s time I finally sprited the rest of the original Mad Gear gang) and more random crap that I can&#8217;t hint at. There will be still be non-1989 themed updates, but those games will be the focus of the year. Here are the other things you can find in this week&#8217;s update.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"customsprites.php\">Custom Sprites<\/a> &#8211; Kunio-Kun added to the <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=technos#kuniokunsd-fgtsze\">Technos gallery<\/a>.

Check out the goofy thing I just added to the Vs. generator, though:<br \/>\n<center><IMG SRC=\"https:\/\/scrollboss.illmosis.net\/ss\/gfxgen_ecastlejanken_alexkidd-vs-ken.png\"><\/center><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the Janken battle stage from Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. Now you can set up your own Rock-Paper-Scissors battles. I&#8217;ve made all three Janken poses for Alex Kidd, but you&#8217;ll have to use your own memory to figure out the other characters who, like Ken, have win poses similar to rock, paper or scissors.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for this update. While some of these updates might be far apart, know that some I&#8217;m putting extra time into this while working on some other neglected projects.
