[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

It is RetroNots Pocket. Once again, hi everybody, how are you? I'm Ray Barnholz.

Today I have with me Bob Mackie. Hey everybody. And Jeremy Parish.

Wow, he's changed since we last saw. Yeah, there's some Joker guests on the

Lucen Raleigh, I guess. Yeah. Well, if your windows are down, do something with them.

Anyway, today no special pretense, no special sorts of backer requested things, although,

of course, we do love that. Today we're just going to talk about a good game that I wanted to talk

about. One of the great, unsung, super NES action games from 1994 Sky Blazer published by Sony Image

Soft. Now this is basically an action platformer. Not too special on the surface of it, but it is

a cool game that did dip way under the radar, and that's kind of a shame, I think. However,

before we start talking about the actual game, I'd like to talk a bit about its origins,

essentially. The developer was a company called Ukiyote in Japan, obviously,

and if that doesn't give it away, does that mean anything? I'm not a fan of it.

Okay, sorry. I didn't look it up or anything. Ukiyo is a kind of art, isn't it?

Yeah, sorry. I'm out of loss. Anyway, but they also made the hook game for Sony Image Soft,

based on the movie hook. This was the Super NES version. There was like an 8-bit version made by

Ocean, and that was a pretty terrible game. But the one made by Ukiyote was a bit more competent.

Not that bad. It was also on the Genesis and Sega CD. I don't think they directly ported it,

but nonetheless. I just played hook this morning based on the fact that they Sky Blazer made it,

and I was impressed by how the quality of it, I was also tickled by the fact that you turn into

that robbermullings when you die, which is worse than death. I know.

And we're going to throw this body here, come from...
