Thank You, Sir

It's been a lot of fun reimagining some of the themes and of course adding as much synthesizer to them as possible As far as Heroclix, I play once in a blue moon and even then, strictly TMNT. So a lot of these designs will be in spirit of the EP itself, nostalgia. There's a lot of fun in store for this little project, hope you enjoy!

This next design was one I've been looking forward to designing for some time, coincidentally this musical project forced my hand into finally doing my take on a Nintendo Classic ...#memorylane here we come

Thank you, Sir! That's the intention first and foremost: FUN Stay tuned, I hope you enjoy the Designs and Music when it's all said and done

"Dreams, Nightmares, and Wonderland" is still a favorite of mine to put on in the background while I write. The new material has only gotten better. I haven't had a chance to look over the dials yet, but you know I'll provide some feedback asap.

Thanks, Reno - you've always been supportive in all of my creative outlets including music and I truly appreciate that. This one is just for fun but hoping to add a few nuances and touches of my own influence. I don't plan on having these Files mastered so Headphones is highly recommend

Good job on both the songs also. I played them for my 6 year-old son. He is really into all things Nintendo and making 8-bit art. He freaked. I love the details of this dial. Letting him pick 2 powers if he's the last one on the board is a great idea. The spin attack captures how the character plays in the game and is a nice addition. Plus any design with the throw grenade ability is tops in my book Samus's pick a power damage SP is pretty dang awesome. Those special tweaks really make this design pop. Bonus points for the custom team ability.

There's going to be a Theme to a lot of the Designs, in that there will be a lot of "optional" choices and strategies. This is my attempt at simulating video game in Heroclix, yet keeping the designs streamlined and "clean" like I've always tried to do (as best as I can.) I see that a lot of stuff and designs are "retired" now like even and Team Bases ... which is all fine and good but make no mistake, you'll see a lot of "retired" mechanics in my Designs because the namesake of the Project does say "Nostalgia" in it

Speaking of outdated mechanics, I just couldn't help but utilize Speed Tokens for this next design. A) it was just too easy and B) it felt wrong not to ...

Thank you, Sir

Growing up I was a Nintendo Kid, but admittedly always wanted a Sega Genesis. A few of my friends had the Sega and I used to LOVE going over and having the opportunity to play Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Toe Jam & Earl, Altered Beast, Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, the list goes on! So I was really excited to make my own take on the Sonic "classic" theme song - hope you enjoyed it

Since the last post was Sonic, it seemed only apropos to post the next Design/Song from a Nintendo classic that defined the Video Game Console from the onset ...
