The annual FF5 “Four Job Fiesta” begins this weekend! If you’re a classic JRPG fan and you haven’t tried FJF yet, you need to stop missing out. Here’s a primer on how to play this fun self-imposed challenge, along with everything you need to know to defeat the game’s final boss, and a bunch of cool tricks you can pull along the way.
Following up on our journey through the DKF badge portfolio, today we take a detailed look at one of the most insane gaming challenges ever devised, and how one player achieved the impossible.
Today, we’re doing a fun dive into the history of Donkey Kong Forum’s achievement badges, while foreshadowing the story of one of the craziest arcade gaming feats ever achieved.
Not two months after Twin Galaxies and Billy Mitchell agreed to end their legal battle out of court, Mr. Cheater is back arguing his case to the judge yet again. Did TG violate their confidential settlement? Or is Billy Mitchell full of shit, yet again?
It’s time to recap our third round of TG bounties. FF7’s Midgar was conquered without the use of materia, and many humans in Robotron were saved without our hero firing down. Also, we have new challenges to look forward to, on Super Mario Bros. 3, Missile Command, Kirby Super Star, and Phantasy Star.
Okay, it’s the big day! As promised, I’m going to dissect some legal technicalities, lingering questions, and alternate outcomes, as I outline why Twin Galaxies’ out-of-court settlement with disgraced gaming fraud Billy Mitchell was a good thing for non-cheaters everywhere. Plus, we’ll take a look at what all of this means for TG moving forward.
It’s finally time to begin closing the book on one of the stupidest chapters in video game history. Today, we recap the story so far, including the last few filings that came in before the deadline. We’re going to exonerate one Mighty Mister Tash. We will review what Twin Galaxies and Billy Mitchell did and did not get out of their out-of-court settlement. And we’ll also take a closer look at one very nutty professor.
In September 2022, perfectpacman.com proudly published a highly detailed technical analysis from hardware engineer and Donkey Kong expert Tanner Fokkens, examining why arcade and MAME transition screens appear the way they do. Today, Mr. Fokkens replies to a poorly conceived analysis from Billy Mitchell’s paid “expert witness”, Dr. Michael Zyda.
It’s official! Billy Mitchell has waved the white flag, coming to terms on a settlement with Twin Galaxies. While Billy did manage to clutch onto a couple shreds of undeserved dignity, his lawsuit against Twin Galaxies was otherwise an overwhelming defeat.
