Hi folks! Last year I came into possession of some film reels from Wild Gunman (1974) by Nintendo, and felt it was my destiny to play the game.

#neogeo and #snk experts, what's up with the spare serial number stickers in my Magician Lord kit? They match the box and the SNK warranty sticker.
Today's oddly useful yard sale find: an Eico high voltage probe, perfect for checking CRT high voltage ($1).
IMPORTANT: The end of the Moana song "How Far I'll Go" sounds exactly like the Amiga CD32 intro tune and it's in the same key and tempo.

My Wild Gunman (1974) recreation is part of the discussion on @thisweekinretro.bsky.social!
I showed this shelf of my collection in my Wild Gunman (1974) resurrection video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOfq...). What ties all these items together? Nobody's mentioned it in the comments on YouTube.
One of my favourite magazine clippings that didn't make the video. Wild Gunman (1974) can be seen near the bottom right, most likely the plastic molded cabinet. Scan from Game Machine November 1975 (archive.org).
Watch the video on my "resurrection" of Wild Gunman if you haven't seen it!

@contricode.bsky.social @ianferguson.bsky.social I put a freeze-frame easter egg in the intro just for you two (on the Macintosh). Nobody in 700 comments has mentioned it. Ian, there's some Japanese Game Boy glamour shots around 7:45 you might enjoy too.
