Today's oddware: The HP Infrared Access Point: NetBeamIR. With this monolith-looking box with a HAL 9000 aperture on the front, you can bridge IrDA devices with Ethernet! Who needs WiFi?! 😁

Made an incredible discovery for language learning: Chrono Trigger DS lets you access the options menu to change the langauge *mid-dialogue box*. If you're having trouble with a line you can double-check the official localization without even closing the dialogue box. Feels very rare.

Jon the Programmer's Squinky Tennis! An Easter egg game found hidden in several different Game Gear games published in the 90s by CodeMasters. I've been curious about this game since I was about 13 as you can't play it unless you have two GGs and a link cable. And there were no videos online anywhere of it. I finally gave up waiting and made my own video

I really liked the SNES game series Top Gear (aka Top Racer in places where TG might mean something else). It's a solid arcade racer with excellent music.

But the artwork has always stood out to me, and over the years I realized it's not unique to these game. But I'm not 100% sure what it is though. I've been trying to collect other example of its use and recently got this SB Live X-Gamer.

Based on the Top Gear II box I think the original is a painting. And it's of a real car, a 1984 Corvette GTP.

But I can't find any information about the artwork. I'm wondering if it was something that was common to license or really anything about it.
