Hey, RetroGaming,
I'm excited to share this issue of Quarter Up with you. Writers from all over the country contributed to this last issue of 2023.
Our retro game article for this issue is about the reverse-engineering of Sinistar. Sinistar is one of the most technically-impressive arcade games of the 1980s. Our writer SynaMax took the entire game apart, down to the assembly code, and put it back together better than ever. He even discovered the origins of the famous 'Sinistar roar.'
The awesome cover art is by Anna "Pencilforge" Frohling.
That's a fun cover illustration!
Sinistar was terrifying back in the day. Every time he came after me I'd start to panic, haha.
Thank you for reading! Pencilforge is a talented artist, I have been wanting to work with her for a while.
