I don't know if this is a secret pleasure anyone else has, but it gives me so much joy when download links (like for older software or retro samples or whatever) on websites archived by the Wayback Machine work.
It's how I have a whole archive of software and apps for Palm Pilot that I swear I will install on the two working Palm Pilots I have lying around one of these fucking days.
Like one day I'll be that eccentric cyberpunk bitch that refuses to use any of the scheduling apps on my phone and busts out with a literal Palm Pilot like yeah bitch this thing also plays Shadowgate and Rick Dangerous. Got them custom icons and shit. Top of the line 1999.
Messing around with Photoshop's video editing options. Just ripped this gif of Jamm's win pose from Golden Axe: The Duel! This game had REALLY GOOD ART!

Cham Cham--I mean Jamm was born into a war torn land. She was abandoned by her parents during an enemy invasion, but was taken in by a wild spirit named Degas that raised her among the animals.
Here's a rad Moebius influenced illustration of Jamm!

After Degas passed away, Jamm continued to wear his pelt and claws. During her super, she casts off his skin and his spirit returns and fires a beam of destructive energy at her opponent.

Apropos of nothing, man Magical Drop 3 had really nice animation!
Hmmm last image is a bit too big for Twitter. Let's try again ... Man this game had such cool characters! Gotta love the screen filling sprite art too!

Hmmm scanlines in last image are still weird. I guess it was too tall. Also there's a noticeable pause at the end since Twitter always holds the last frame of the animation. Gotta edit the timing on the gif to account for that here goes!
