Some Like it Hot (Broadway)

This is based on the 1959 film that starred Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe and follows basically the same plot: During prohibition, a pair of male musicians witness a mob hit, and escape by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-girl band. One of them falls in love with a girl in the band, the other attracts the attention of nutty millionaire. Hilarity ensues.

Overall: Great show, great cast, glad I saw it.

God Slayer: Sonata of the Heavens (NES, Played on RG350)

This was known in the US as Crystalis, but I played the Japanese version with a fan translation patch. While a lot of the town and character names are changed in minor ways, the real meat of the retranslation was restoring the religious overtones of the introduction and a bunch of the dialogue.

Overall: The last time I played this (20 years ago), I used a cheat code for infinite MP. This time, with the various hacks, I still needed save states but I made it through without cheats. I’d make an argument that this is the best way to play Crystalis, as you get the clearest version of the original plot and still some quality of life upgrades.
