One last little run of classic games consoles? These are all 80s and early 90s machines, so we're coming into the era of things I was actually playing with first time round.

The Sega Master System of 1986, the western version of the Sega Mark III, and below, the somewhat cheaper 1990 Master System II. In my day, you were either a Sega or Nintendo household. We were resolutely Nintendo, but we played the Master System II at our neighbour's (that was permitted by the terms of rivalry).

The 1987 European model Atari 7800. Never used the Atari, they were waning by the time I was playing, but I love the design. They had backwards compatibility, which it took forever for the others to catch onto.

The Casio P1000. Short-lived, Japan only, but God, isn't it gorgeous? From 1983. I feel like you could climb inside and live TRON.

The Action Max by WoW from 1987. Beautiful looking bit of kit, but it played games on VHS tapes! You had to plug the Action Max into a VCR and the VCR into the TV. Some games were based on movies which must have led to some error purchases.

The Amstrad GX-4000, a British console released in 1990. Cheap but with great graphics, but the games were crap so it flopped.

VTech Socrates from 1988. Known in European markets as translations of Professor Know-It-All. This was an educational system with limited games but it's a lovely design.

The Systema TV Boy Mk. II (1992 I think). I had one of these, it was terrible. It had over 100 games programmed in, but they were shoddily ported knock-offs of Atari games.

The Sega Mega Drive, or the Genesis if you're American. The original version came out in Japan in 1988, we got it in 1990. I played a lot on these at friends' places after they upgraded from the Master System, until we got:

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, 1992 UK edition. Abbreviated lots of ways, we always called it the SNES. In Japan it was the Super Famicom, released 1990. The Mega Drive might have looked cooler, but the SNES had the very best games - OK, half of them were the same, but Sega didn't have Mario or Donkey Kong.

Todays rip: 14/09/2023

Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver​.​)

Season 5 Featured on: STUDIO TRIGGER QUALITY MUSIC WORKS

Ripped by SonicHeroesFan1

I've talked about it before, but man - its SO cool how I've been able to get attached to certain rips without knowing anything about what its aiming to convey. This isn't just about not getting the joke - there are a surprising number of rips made as tributes or inofficial follow-ups of sorts to other well-loved pieces from other communities. An example I've covered on this blog would be Big Sus Chocobo, an Among Us-themed YTPMV of Electric de Chocobo directly paying tribute to The First AVGN YTPMV of 2022, which released earlier that year (which in turn took direct inspiration from Big Ass Chocobo from 2017 - thank you, anonymous Ask for the correction!). Its heartwarming, in a way, to remember that SiIvaGunner is at its core part of a community, and that the channel is a community of creators in of itself.

The part in parenthesis in Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver.)'s name isn't just for flavor - it openly tells you from what source SonicHeroesFan1 chose to pay tribute to with this rip. Green Panty Zone is a 10-year old mashup between Champion from the anime series Panty & Stocking and various pieces of Sonic the Hedgehog music - made by none other than the infamous Triple-Q. You remember Triple-Q, right? - I've talked about him on the blog before in Planet Wisp Mashup Medley, and even outside of SiIvaGunner he's one of the most long-enduring personalities in the space of audio shitposting. Green Panty Zone, despite its age, is a pretty fun listen and displays the sheer creativity and work Triple-Q so consistently puts into his work, even as long ago as 2012.

With all that said, it *is* still a mashup - a rather simple joke in execution that works tremendously well. Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver.) pushes Triple-Q's original idea to the natural end point - what if the melody of Champion were to be directly implemented into the Sonic music used? The outcome is nothing short of beautiful, and it runs the full list of Sonic music featured in the original - Green Hill Zone, Angel Island Zone, Emerald Hill Zone, Palmtree Panic Present, Green Hill Zone's 8-bit rendition from the Game Gear, and even the oft-forgotten Sunset Hill from Sonic Advance 3. Each segment is given utmost care in their sound and authenticity, to where its almost hard to notice just how much the rip escalates and changes as it goes from Sonic game to Sonic game. Its easy to infer by his username, but SonicHeroesFan1 displays such infectious love for the Sonic series in all the Sonic rips he works on, its as if that love directly translates into quality and authenticity.

Each segment is done incredibly in its own right, and are topped off with a bunch of personal flourishes binding them together. The most striking one is the transition into Sunset Hill from Sonic Advance 3, using Sonic CD's time-travel sounds and a voice clip from Sonic's early-2000s voice actor to signify the change to a more "modern" Sonic game track, but that's only really scratching the surface! There's spring sounds, spike sounds, a snare sound almost exclusive to Sonic 2's soundtrack that opens the way for the Emerald Hill Zone segment - hell, the entire segment representing Sonic CD actually uses another SiIvaGunner rip as its baseline, yet it fits the mix so perfectly as to almost go unnoticed despite how noticably different it sounds. (Read Collision Chaos Good Future JP [CD Beta Mix] to learn more!)

This is one of those rips that I swear I could gush about endlessly, and the strangest part is that...I've never watched Panty & Stocking. I have no idea what emotional ties this'll have to someone who did - I'm speaking solely as a SiIvaGunner and a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, and that alone was enough to make this rip hit home. The amount of love poured into rips like these, despite being so directly tied to jokes for such a specific audience - tied to a mashup made 10 years ago by someone who, as a reminder, doesn't even associate much with the SiIvaGunner team anymore - is absolutely insane. Its a true testament to where SiIvaGunner's priorities lie: It's never about broad reach, about fame, about attention, but about quality and love for the fellow man.

With Sonic Origin plus coming today, I want to give my art from last year an update.

Classic Sonic and Tails

Before the sequel to the Sonic the Hedgehog Movie released, I created this artwork as a callback to the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Genesis / Mega Drive.

Daily Plush - 26.12.2023

(Source: KidRobot)

This plush was made by KidRobot, and yes I promise it is a plush. It depicts a SEGA Genesis with a copy of Sonic The Hedgehog (1991).

The plush is very accurate to the original model, complete with warning labels and copyright information:

Here is a closer look at the plush cartridge:
