   I'm a bit of a Sega fan boy but never heard of the Mega LD before now! What a weird and fascinating bit of video gaming history, and a good read too. Kudos to Nemesis for his hard work in preserving a bit of niche history.

   Nintendo have always been a company making toys for kids. Kid toys that are also fun for adults but still primarily for kids. It's the same company as when you were a kid playing N64 or SNES or NES or whatever, just now you're old

   A hell of a lot more texts survived from ancient Mesopotamia thanks to them writing on clay tablets. If the town burnt down the tablets just get better preserved.

   Different projections have different uses. There's no one "correct" projection and anyway I've seen plenty of world maps using projections other than Mercator for quite a number of years now.
