Nostalgia is a bug that bites very hard. Last week I watched an Icons episode featuring Yu Suzuki who is probably best known for the Virtua Fighter series of 3D fighting games and more recently the sprawling adventure/rpg Shenmue. The young Suzuki sounded a lot like my oldest son, so I TiVo’d the show and watched it again with my son. This lead to digging up my old Shenmue discs for movie clips and to my joy finding the soundtrack available free and legal online. Now my son has discovered my old Sega Saturn games, including Virtua Fighter and Virtua Fighter 2. So the Saturn is being dragged out this weekend for some serious gameplay. I hope the thing still works!
