Dank Zine - Issue 78

Dank Zine Issue 78 is packed with haunted hardware, cursed creativity, and a few games that should've never seen the light of day, but we played them anyway.

At the centre of this issue is a no-holds-barred interview with Burst_Error, the indie developer behind Cryohazard, a lo-fi Game Boy horror game built from scratch during a personal and creative turning point. He opens up about streaming janky classics like Superman 64, creating games in his wood-pannel den, and the strange joy of finding beauty in busted software. If you've ever screamed at a glitchy ROM and called it "art," this one's for you.

We also dive into the bizarre, forgotten world of Time Twist, Nintendo's least-talked-about Famicom Disk System title: a time-travelling nightmare that takes you from war camps to biblical possession. It's not just weird. It's deeply uncomfortable, which is probably why it never left Japan.

Also inside:

Four new Sad Cat comic strips about failure, batteries, and emotional collapse.

Dank art by AnnK, Goemonsama, Chuboh, Maru, and A_MapleMystery.

A brutal takedown of ALF: The First Adventure, one of the worst licensed games of the 1980s.

A glowing recommendation to play GATE on the Apple IIGS, if you even remember what that is.

Game Boy horoscopes from MisterRadon, because the stars can't save you, but they might at least warn you.

Full colour. Fully unhinged. Read it before the emulators break.
