A new section of the site and Game Over for the mobile version.

I've added a new section to the website. I couldn't think of any suitable Jet Set Willy references so I just called it 'Extra Life' because it's ostensibly going to be about little quirky extra things that can extend the life of a system. Easter Eggs, hidden content, etc will all be explored.
The first article is already up and it explores the hidden content that can be unlocked when you insert Neo Geo Pocket Color cartridges into a monochrome Neo Geo Pocket...including a whole extra game!

You can check it out directly, here:  Neo Geo Pocket - The secret screens

In other news I've disabled the mobile version of the website. I just wasn't happy with the forced aesthetics and the fact that it kept displaying generic pictures of cameras instead of the borders I'd lovingly crafted. You can still view the website on your mobile but it will now display exactly as the website does.
​
Sorry if that is an inconvenience. I just don't want a forced layout that I'm not 100% happy with.

In happier news, I just beat the wonderswan version of Klonoa. I enjoyed it very much and I think it will be the first Wonderswan game reviewed for the Forgotten Abbey.

A trip to Akihabara a few years back left me in possession of not one but two Swan Crystals (the best iteration of the WonderSwan handheld.)
The poor visibility (even with a TFT screen) has always left me struggling to want to play it. I was happy, therefore to pick up this front-lit WonderSwan for only £15. Despite the screen suffering from a little bit of LCD bleeding, it's been so enjoyable to finally play these games without straining my eyes. Surprisingly the ghosting isn't anywhere near as bad as I had been expecting. I'm now hunting for more cheap titles and perhaps have just decided on which obsolete handheld to cover next in the ever expanding Forgotten Abbey section of the website.
