RTOG: Arcade Volleyball (PC, 1988)
Hello to all! Microforum Mfg Inc would like to proudly announce the release of its first title, Arcade Volleyball! Play your friends in a friendly match or dare to take on the computer in a volleyball battle of wits, in this premier title from MMI!
Spike! Oh, Jeffrey...
How did this thrilling sports title come to be? Well, it all started with our son Jeffrey’s love of volleyball. You see, our son Jeffrey loved to play volleyball with us, but he has recently developed a condition that makes playing volleyball more difficult than it used to be. So, on a wing and a prayer and a second mortgage, we opened Microforum Mfg Inc in order to develop a software that allows us to play volleyball together again.
Our first day!
We hope you will enjoy this game as much as we do. It’s a fun game for all, but for us, it allows us to play volleyball just like Jeffrey is still here. We love you Jeffrey and we miss you!
Arcade Volleyball is in stores now! Please support our future game development and pick up a copy!
Do it for Jeffrey!

RTOG: Umihara Kawase (Super Famicom, 1994)
Umihara Kawase, which—if my studies at easyjapanese.org have taught me anything—translates to “Little Girl Blood Adventure,” is a coming of age story about one girl’s struggle with her changing body.
Having experienced her first period, Umihara steals her father’s fishing pole and starts her doomed odyssey back to childhood. She has taken her father’s means to provide a living—his very manhood, from a Freudian perspective—in rebellion against her own womanhood.
Umihara’s journey is dreamlike and her foes represent the sexual awakening from which she runs. She faces fish (representing the unclean vagina) as well as eels (the phallic). It seems fitting then, that the slippery phalluses toss pills at her—a thinly-veiled metaphor for man’s desire to suppress woman’s menstrual mood swings with modern medicine.
By using the fishing pole to battle these creatures, little Umi has already accepted that her only escape from her own unclean nature is a man’s device. We can read her trip into the wilderness is a temporary escape, as she prolongs the inevitable. As a woman, she will always be subservient to man and no amount of grappling hook action can change that. Just like the good old days my dad always talks about.
