This update has some of the best art and animations yet! We are looking forward to the updated sprites in the future to be able to better align with what is shown in the illustrations. Please let us know of any bugs, grammar issues, and anything else that you might find. NOTE: You might need to start the game over if your previous save was not a V0.3 save. However, there are many new animations and art stills are fantastic! This is not considered to be a “full version” as far as new story development goes. However, we believe the animated scenes are high quality and we hope you like them (thank you SJ! ). This version update is relatively small story-wise. A reminder, the gallery will return with V0.6.

We anticipate the V0.6 release to come through mid-late February. This partial-release is about 1/3 through all of the game’s content and is NOT the V0.6 release. This is because we are using the “Replay” system native to Ren’Py requires players to have played through each individual scene (which did not exist in the gallery code) in the last update. In order for it to work for you to see the earlier scenes (the ones you saw in the partial rewrite), you will need to play through the game from the start again. NOTE: The gallery feature is now back – new and improved. We are now officially caught up as far as the rewrite goes. Please let me know of any bugs, grammar issues, and anything else that you think looks wrong. There is also an entirely new animated scene that has not been scene before.

More information on the Pig Trail can be found at the website of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture - husband may accept a job at Walmart and we currently live in the San Francisco Bay area. The Arkansas encyclopedia notes that "today's traveler is more likely to use the Pig Trail for leisure and recreation than point-to-point transportation." In a year when leisure and recreation are more valuable than ever, that's reason enough to detour from the rumbling traffic of the interstates. They are overshadowed by the arching roadside trees and the panoramic views shaped by the Boston Mountains. Other manmade sights along the route include churches, cemeteries and farms. Along with outdoor gear and Pig Trail T-shirts, it sells sandwiches and snacks as well as beer and wine. Near the bridge over the Mulberry, Turner Bend Store is a local landmark, having opened in 1911. The Mulberry River serves as a top attraction along the scenic byway for canoeing, kayaking and rafting. Whether the road was named for these hogs, for its resemblance to a curly pig's tail, for the UA's football team, or some combination of the three remains unclear." "Near its crossing of the Mulberry River, it was not uncommon in times past to see roaming pigs, both feral and domesticated, as Ozark farmers once considered the forest as open range for fattening their shoats and hogs. The nickname "Pig Trail," according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture, is of uncertain derivation: Who needs tunnels when you can have the challenge of some of the tightest curves on one of the hilliest roads in the state? Tunnel, schmunnel!" But, except for the tunnel, it's really not very fun. The new interstate may be smooth, semi-straight and mostly level. "Go the way of the piggies," Brant urged readers. They'd be following the light-hearted advice written by Democrat-Gazette Food Editor Kelly Brant when she was a features reporter for the newspaper's Northwest edition in 1999. 17, fans from Central Arkansas with tickets for the limited-capacity seating can consider taking the Pig Trail in one direction or the other. That's when it becomes one of Arkansas' prime showcases of autumn leaves.Īs the Razorbacks prepare for their next home game on Oct. Running from the southern edge of Ozark National Forest north to a crossroads at Brashears, the byway is most photogenic in the fall. That's a shame, because the drive remains an alluring one - especially the 19 miles formally designated as Pig Trail Scenic Byway. That left the older roller-coaster route on Arkansas 23 and 16 as something of a fondly remembered backwater. Then Interstate 540 (now I-49) with its Bobby Hopper tunnel opened in the late 1990s, providing a much smoother and faster trip for the "Woo Pig Sooey" throngs. Back in the day, driving the Pig Trail with its steep and serpentine stretches was a rite of passage for faithful fans heading from points south to Razorbacks football games in Fayetteville. The game is displayed in a belt scroll format, like Kunio-kun. A remake titled Double Dragon Advance was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003.īilly and Jimmy face off against Jack, the boss at the end of the first stage (arcade) Originally an arcade game, home versions were released for the NES, Master System, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari ST, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Game Boy, Genesis/Mega Drive and Atari Lynx, among other platforms during the series's height of popularity. Its success resulted in the creation of the Double Dragon franchise, including two arcade sequels and several spinoffs, and it ushered in a "Golden Age" for the beat 'em up genre, establishing the conventions for a wave of beat 'em ups from other companies during the late 1980s to 1990s. It also received critical acclaim, with Electronic Gaming Monthly awarding it 1988 Game of the Year. The game's title is a reference to the two-player gameplay and Bruce Lee's martial arts film Enter the Dragon (1973), which was a major inspiration behind Kunio-kun and Double Dragon, while the game's art style and setting were influenced by the Mad Max films and Fist of the North Star manga and anime series.ĭouble Dragon was one of the first successful beat 'em up games, becoming Japan's third highest-grossing table arcade game of 1987 before becoming America's highest-grossing dedicated arcade game for two years in a row, in 19. The game's development was led by Yoshihisa Kishimoto, and it is a spiritual and technological successor to Technos' earlier beat 'em up, Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (1986), released outside of Japan by Taito as Renegade Kishimoto originally envisioned it as a direct sequel and part of the Kunio-kun series, before making it a new game with a different cast and setting.ĭouble Dragon introduced several additions to the Kunio-kun belt scroll beat 'em up formula, such as a continuous side-scrolling world adding a sense of progression, two-player cooperative gameplay, the ability to arm oneself with an enemy's weapon after disarming them, and the use of cut scenes to give it a cinematic look and feel. It is the first title in the Double Dragon franchise. Abobo also appears as the main protagonist in the homage fan game Abobo's Big Adventure, where he must beat various NES characters to rescue his son Aboboy (actually a reuse of Rajiv from Super Dodge Ball).Double Dragon is a 1987 beat 'em up video game developed by Technōs Japan and distributed by Taito for arcades across Asia, North America and Europe.Abobo appears as a mid-boss in the homage game Rage of the Dragons, where he is renamed Abubo and is shown as a grotesquely muscular man.Here he has his own gang, later being captured by the villain Koga Shuko and mutated into a monstrous form. Abobo makes an appearance in the live-action movie. He is sucked into the Shadow Mural alongside Willy for their repeated failures. Abobo has a minor appearance on the animated series, appearing only in the first two episodes as a henchman of the Shadow Boss working alongside Wild Willy.The Green Abobo also appears in this version, where he is named "Mibobo" (a combination of the Japanese word midori for "green" and Abobo's name). Double Dragon Advance, the 2003 Game Boy Advance remake of the original Double Dragon, features afro-haired variants of Abobo in addition to the bald and mohawked variants from the arcade game.Character designer Koji Ogata's concept art of Boris actually labelled the character Abobo. Rajiv of Team India and Boris of Team USSR. The 1988 NES version of Technos Japan's Super Dodge Ball features two team captains modelled after Abobo.The mohawked version of Abobo is alternately known as Jikku/Jick (ジック) according to the June 12th, 1987 issue of Famicom Tsushin, although this was likely a typo. However, the NES and other console versions at the time cut the mohawked variants and only kept the bald version, giving him the "Abobo" name in the process. According to the September 1987 issue of the Japanese gaming magazine Beep, the bald version was originally named Zack (ザック), while the dark-skinned mohawked version was originally named Jack (ジャック), with Abobo being the green-skinned palettte swap from the end of Mission 3. The arcade version of Double Dragon features two variants of Abobo, the regular bald-headed version with the horseshoe moustache who appears as a recurring sub-boss and a bearded/mohawked variant who appears as the end-boss of Mission 1 and Mission 3. However, if you’re a die-hard LC completist, think Twilight is edgy, or you really really miss the songcraft of Ben Moody and Amy Lee, then… seriously, what’s wrong with you?! It has to be said, though… if you lament what this band has become, go back and listen to Comalies and earlier for your LC fix. Of course, no matter what I say, this will sell like Duck Dynasty memorabilia in the Bible Belt. Instead, I’m picturing what she would sound like if she were to join, say, Shores of Null as a co-vocalist to the vastly-superior-to-Ferro-in-every-conceivable-fashion, Davide Straccione. If she and the rest of this band would step up as musicians and songwriters, this would be a much better group overall. The big problem is that she’s in the wrong group. However, once again, Scabbia’s angelic voice is the star attraction of this band. I swear there’s an actual guitar solo in “Zombie.” Not a memorable one, but it’s a start. So what are the good parts, you may ask? Well, there’s no covers at all on this record. “Cybersleep” wins by default as it has very little of male vocalist Andrea Ferro on it. “Victims” starts to sound promising, a little like a modern-day Paradise Lost, before going to shit thanks to an ill-performed spoken word part by the usually-captivating Cristina Scabbia. I gave Lethe a bit of grief in a prior review about one song sounding like it could be on the Twilight Official Motion Picture Soundtrack, and yet “Die & Rise,” and its ode to lycanthropy fucking IS Twilight. Also, the lyrics? “Blood stained/Stock crash/Mistakes/Heart breaks/Nothing stands in our way”? Anyone else ever have their heart broken by a blood-stained stock crash? Jeeeeeeezus, guys.Īnd it doesn’t get much better, folks. There is quite literally nothing new under the roof of this beat-up Lincoln Town Car. Opening track (and first single), “ Nothing Stands in Our Way” sounds vaguely familiar, with its opening programmed synths, bouncy Korn guitars, simple drumming, and good female vocals/bad male vocals… and that would be because, well, they’ve been doing this shit to death since 2002’s superior Comalies, and it’s utilized ad nauseum et infinitum on Broken Crown Halo. Hence, their newest exercise in creative bankruptcy and unabashed worship of all things nu-metal, Broken Crown Halo. If you are Italy’s Lacuna Coil, well, you release the same fucking album over and over and over. If you’re Carcass, you bludgeon with surgical precision. If you’re Iron Maiden, you captivate and explore. In other words, no matter what the band does, it’s guaranteed that their label will back them up, as they are proven to sell like virtual gang-busters. They can also lull the unsuspecting fan into a false sense of security before bludgeoning them to a wet, slushy pulp. They can craft new masterpieces to guide the listener to unknown lands, and hold them there for the duration of the album’s captivating length. When a band hits a certain level of fame, usually it gives them free reign to do whatever their innermost muse guides them to create without fear of their label dropping them.
