Full-page ad for Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode (click for a larger image). If you zoom in, you can see a figure staring out from the generically named Casino, impassive to the scene before him. Maybe he’s hoping this scuffle doesn’t scratch his Mercedes Benz. Or perhaps he’s wondering if he should hit up Cindy’s or NEBAR to top off the night.

At any rate, ~~an amazing penis~~ I’m going to print this out and mail the coupon to Vic Tokai for my free comic.

Extra Dimension System Highround Action Game: Golgo 13 (click for a larger version of the sumi-e poster).

Though Vic Tokai later used the same artwork for the Japanese cover of The Mafat Conspiracy, this was a rare promotional poster for Golgo 13’s first NES game, Top Secret Episode, that the publisher gave away at the ‘89 Summer Consumer Electronics Show.

I spotted this at Chris Bieniek’s Video Game Ephemera, a neat site full of scanned and uploaded game materials like this — old newsletters, brochures, promo videos, etc. It’s definitely worth wasting your afternoon there!

New hack uncensors Golgo 13 nudity, Nazis

Guyver (X.B.M.) has released a new “anti-censorship” patch for Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode restoring elements that were altered for the NES game’s U.S. release.

Unlike the Japanese version, our English copies of Golgo 13 pitted the professional assassin against the Drek empire and its leader Smirk, instead of Nazis led by Adolf Hitler. A few references to the Third Reich remain in the American edition, like the clearly Hitler-esque cyborg final boss and the mission document with a swastika icon, but this patch also brings back the Nazi references in the game’s text.

Golgo 13 Top Secret Episode’s theme. I’m not sure what it is about this NES game that I find so fascinating. It’s not the best game, but it’s a very ambitious game that includes a bunch of different gameplay (all pretty unpolished) and more story than a lot of NES action games.

Honestly, I think the weird elongated sprites are a big part of the appeal for me. And, of course, the music.

Terra Cresta “promo cartridge.” I have no idea if this is legitimately what the seller says it is, or if it’s a recently-created item, but I really don’t care, because

The current bid is just $4.99, and
This thing looks awesome.

If you were to put a NES cartridge on a photocopier and somehow copy the whole thing, it would look like this. If it actually plays Terra Cresta, bonus! If it is actually a vintage promotional copy, even better.
