Monochrome Confusion

If there were any games that would not be suitable for monochrome handhelds such as the Game Boy and the WonderSwan, it had to be the Puyo Puyo series. Shape recognition can be challenging for some gamers, especially in Puyo Puyo—a game that combine Tetris and Connect Four, where the Puyo disappear when four or more of the same color connect. Therefore, the monochrome versions of Puyo Puyo games had an unexpected increase in difficulty as a result of Puyo Puyo being a game where the Puyo only vanish if four or more of the same color connect to each other.

Corporatism's Most Fatal Mistake

In light of the anti-consumer business practices of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, the boycott campaigns against these three companies have intensified. Unfortunately, corporatism does not listen to the will of the people because corporatism is more than the evil twin of capitalism. Corporatism is actually the feudalism that has dominated the Middle Ages updated for the Industrial Age and beyond.

From the discontinuation of disc-based gaming, to the closure of Digital Download Stores, to the crackdown on digital piracy, corporatism is only pushing a turbulent Earth ever closer to the terrifying nightmare scenario of Matthew 24:22, which is only made possible through the existence of nuclear weapons. In other words, it will be Game Over for the corrupt system that is represented by the statue of Daniel 2 and the 4th monster of Daniel 7, along with the corporatism that imposed a cruel hierarchy, and the greed of corporatism. When all of them are finally eliminated, justice will prevail at last.

Stomp The Mischief-Maker

Characters stomping the Mischievous Lemming from Lemmings Touch: Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Deedlit (Record of Lodoss War).

In the light of Sony's controversial decision to discontinue disc-based gaming in 2028 and close the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Digital Stores in 2027, this comic was conceived as a retaliatory strike against Sony's bad decisions. That's why the Mischievous Lemmings from Lemmings Touch are getting their backs stomped by Tyris Flare, Ryo Sakazaki, Tam and Deedlit. Not only is this a revenge attack against the Mischievous Lemmings for all the level failures caused by these miscreants entering the Exit in Lemmings Touch, it's also a revenge attack against Sony's bad decisions as well since Sony owns the rights to the Lemmings series. Therefore, it makes sense for the gamers to vent their collective anger against Sony's villains.

Miyamoto-Free Gaming Zone

If gamers wish to reject Nintendo as well as opponents of Nintendo (Sega, Sony, Microsoft) that were praised and respected by Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto, here are some video game platforms that gamers who dislike Shigeru Miyamoto can move to.

Vectrex: A vector display-based video game console that did not have any ports of Nintendo games at all. While the Vectrex is remembered for being a commercial failure, its port of Namco's Pole Position is definitely one of the best games for this platform.

NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine: Need a true 16-Bit alternative to the Nintendo-Sega rivalry? NEC conceived that answer with the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine. It did not have Mario or Sonic, but it had Bomberman, Pac-Land, Raiden, Splatterhouse, all 4 Valis games, various Bonk games, Cotton, Magical Chase, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Valkyrie no Densetsu, a couple of Gradius games, Lemmings and and many more. Surprisingly enough, the NEC PC-Engine outsold the Sega Mega Drive in Japan. Ironically enough, Sega released some of their games for the NEC PC-Engine such as Golden Axe, After Burner II, Columns, a couple of Puyo Puyo games, Shinobi, Space Harrier and Bonanza Bros.

Casio Loopy: A console marketed to girls. The Casio Loopy was more like a printer that printed custom stickers, and it predated the Game Boy Printer by 3 years. It's definitely Nintendo-free and Miyamoto-free territory because not a single game that was published by Nintendo, Sega, Sony or Microsoft was officially ported over to the Casio Loopy.

Epoch Super Cassette Vision: The successor to the Epoch Cassette Vision, the Super Cassette Vision had a mediocre game library which included Namco games such as Mappy, Sky Kid and Pole Position II. Unfortunately, this rival of the Famicom ended up being promptly forgotten. At least it was available in France, meaning this console was not Japan-only. And it does not have any ports of Nintendo games or Sega games at all.

Atari Jaguar: Atari's last console is definitely one of the most underrated consoles. Unlike the Atari 2600, the Atari 5200, the Atari 7800, or even the Atari 8-Bit Computers, the Atari Jaguar has absolutely no ports of Nintendo games whatsoever. It has Rayman, Raiden and Doom, and if you like fanservice ladies, you can always go with Thundra from Kasumi Ninja and Volcana from Ultra Vortek.

SNK Neo Geo: The home of the King of Fighters series, the Samurai Shodown series, the Metal Slug series, Waku Waku 7, some Puzzle Bobble games and some Bomberman games. No games from Nintendo or Sega on this arcade cabinet.

Panasonic 3DO: It may have been a commercial failure, but it had some great games such as Gex, Doom, Lemmings, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, a Suchie-Pai game and even SNK's Samurai Shodown. The 3DO, however, lacked ports of games published by Nintendo, Sega or Sony.

TL;DR: If you are a gamer who dislikes Shigeru Miyamoto, these seven video game consoles are among the best options right now, even if all of them are discontinued products.

P.S. The versions of Lemmings and Doom on any of these platforms are from the pre-Sony and pre-Microsoft period.

Swimies Under Bloomers

In PuyOlympics, Arle wears a pair of panty-shaped bloomers during most of the game's sporting events. When it comes to swimming, she wears a two-piece swimsuit that's designed for competition swimming. If Arle had to change into her swimming costume, she would have said that she had been wearing her bikini swimies underneath her buruma after taking off her panty-shaped buruma.

Pong Solitaire

If there was one game with a concept so terrible that it does not even deserve to exist, it has to be Pong Solitaire. Why was it terrible? Because the only way to lose in Pong Solitaire is to play the game. This game is the very definition of a game that is unwinnable by design.

Boarding Denial

Author's Note: All copyrights for the items featured in this comic go to their respective owners.

Ever wondered what happens when our favourite characters from Famicom games try to board a flight, only to get denied from boarding by airport security? Well, that is exactly what would happen to Spelunker, Wynn and Bomberman.

In Spelunker, bombs are needed to get rid of rocks that block the titular character's way. Atlantis no Nazo has Wynn sometimes throwing bombs to open doors, reveal hidden doors and defeat enemies. Bomberman is all about placing bombs to eliminate enemies and clear walls to find the exit. With all that said, the main protagonists of these three Famicom games are going to be in serious trouble with airport security because their bombs are not allowed on board the plane for obvious reasons.

Buruma League

Here is my OC Blondette doing Peach's sassy pose from Super Mario Strikers. Blondette is wearing a crop top from Super Mario Strikers with the panty-shaped buruma. Looks like crop tops that expose the midriff go well with the panty-shaped bloomers.

Tetris Sombrero

There was once a GIF about the T-Tetromino on the internet. It was called "Tetris Sombrero". However, it disappeared shortly after it was uploaded. So I decided to conceive this comic about the "Tetris Sombrero" as a tribute to that lost GIF about a T-Tetromino forming a bigger T-Tetromino.

Panty Wetting Denial

Author's Note: My apologies for the delay in uploading the Bikini Day 80th Anniversary Tribute. Time constraints have pushed me seven days behind schedule.

Remember the comics about pouring water through a funnel into the panties? While forehead coin into funnel is a great way to wet a panty, it is, however, not an appropriate way to do so. Even the bikini panty thinks that stuffing a funnel into a panty and pouring water through it is downright inappropriate.

Damage Control Panic Stations

It's been one week since Sony made their controversial announcement about the discontinuation of disc-based gaming in 2028 and the closure of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Digital Stores. The announcement was so controversial that made gamers call for a boycott of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. As a result of the boycott of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, gamers decided to side with Valve, Epic Games and GOG.com, believing that these digital storefronts still believe in putting customers first.

Hospitality Heroes

Author's Note: All copyrights for the items featured in this comic go to their respective owners.

If the Hospitality Industry needs excellent employee choices, they could have BurgerTime's Peter Pepper as the Head Chef of any reputable hotel, Hammerin' Harry doing the maintenance, and Nikki the Swapnote Mii as the receptionist.

Artifact Destruction

Not all powerful artifacts are good. Some of these artifacts are so evil that they need to be smashed to a million pieces, melted in a river of lava, or wished out of existence. Here are the artifacts so evil that they were better off destroyed for good:

The One Ring: This gold ring grants anyone who wears it invisibility. However, if Sauron can see your whereabouts if you are wearing the One Ring, the invisibility effects are not worth it. You're better off drinking an Invisibility Potion or wearing an Invisibility Cloak. Thankfully, Smeagol accidentally destroyed this evil gold ring by taking it with him to his lava-filled grave, which resulted in Sauron dying for good.

The Shikon Jewel: The heroes and villains of Inuyasha have often competed over who will be the first to successfully reassemble this Sacred Jewel. However, nearing the end of Inuyasha: The Final Act, the Shikon Jewel was revealed to be the true mastermind behind Naraku's villainy. So what was the solution? Kagome wished for the Shikon Jewel to disappear forever, which obliterated the Shikon Jewel and obliterated Naraku once and for all.

The Soulstones: If there was any legitimate reason for us to hate fallen angels, Izual's betrayal was the reason the Prime Evils were able to corrupt the soulstones that imprisoned them. Even worse still, Baal inserted his soulstone into the Worldstone, effectively corrupting it. On top of that, the soulstones that trapped the Prime Evils were created from shards of the Worldstone. And it gets worse with the Black Soulstone, because unlike the other soulstones, this one was not made from the shards of the Worldstone. Malthael sought to steal this soulstone for more nefarious purposes. However, Malthael was defeated, his body obliterated, and the Black Soulstone was destroyed, effectively thwarting his nefarious plans to eradicate all of humanity.

Therefore, if an artifact is too evil for anyone to lay their hands on or even belong in a museum, destroying it by whatever means possible would be a risk that's worth taking.

Stealth Cruiser

Can we all agree that the US Navy's Zumwalt-class Destroyers should have been classified as cruisers instead? Because their 155mm cannons that are being replaced with VLS hypersonic missile launchers are the kind of cannons that would have been classified as cruiser guns.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to my American fans! Especially when it's the 250th Anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence!

Blast The Buddy

Explosives are one of the many types of weapons used in the mobile game Kick The Buddy, and the explosives in this comic such as Bomberman's bombs, the stick grenades from Metal Slug, and dynamites, whether as a single stick or as a bundle, are perfect for blasting Buddy, even if this stress relief method makes Buddy sad.

By the way, this is the Kick The Buddy: Forever version of Buddy in this comic.
