Great video Mark. The FM Towns was always one of those fascinating, completely unobtainable systems, like the X68000 and the PC Engine. Looking at it now it's certainly certainly not X68000 level, but still impressive for the era, and way, way ahead of the Amiga and ST.
Mahou Daisakusen is on the PS4 by the way, and it was ported by M2. It's only on the Japanese PSN store though. According to Wikipedia there's an X68000 port too.Last edited by Kotatsu Neko; 13-02-2020, 17:06.

Then he saw the price of Neo Geo games.

It's funny how importers would charge £600+ for import consoles at launch, taking advantage of people's rabid hunger for new tech. But it was cool to have consoles and games before Pal Land got them.

The fact that it also had some of the finest arcade ports was pure porn!

Tell me more about this Wasabi and Cream Cheese combo - it sounds right up my street! You're right - the Dark Chocolate KitKats are available in the UK (only ever seen them in a multi-pack) though it wouldn't surprise me if the Japanese ones are completely different. The Green Tea KitKats that were sold here briefly certainly aren't the same (still nice though).
I do like these regular Japan videos, the trip to the 7-Eleven some time back was great. When I go to Bangkok every street is filled with them (and also FamilyMart) laid out in a similar fashion. It's by far one of the main "quality of life" things I miss when I go back home - constantly having a bunch of fresh sandwiches and cool drinks within a couple of minutes walk.
