FUN FACT!
IT WASN’T JUST ANY OLD DUDE WHO DECIDED, “HEY I WANT TO CREATE A KOREAN ALPHABET.”
IT WAS KING SEJONG, WHO ORDERED HIS ROYAL SCHOLARS TO CREATE THIS ALPHABET SO READING AND WRITING COULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE PEASANTS. IT WAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO LEARN.
SO SHOUT OUT TO KING SEJONG, WHO REALIZED BEFORE MANY OTHERS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LITERACY.
YOU GO KING SEJONG, FOUR FOR YOU KING SEJONG
Fun fact about dices (at least in Scandinavia) is that they are quite easy to date in archaeological contexts. Up until the 13th century, the numbers were arranged differently. 1 was opposite of 2, 3 of 4 and 5 of 6. From the 14th century onwards they are arranged so all opposite sides turns out 7 with addition (1 is opposite of 6, 2 of 5 and 3 of 4).

Here’s a cool surprise - Atlus’ unreleased Wing Force, an arcade SHMUP, preserved and emulated in MAME!
The game was developed by A.I., a fairly prolific contract studio that’s still in business today. If you’re following this Tumblr you’ve probably played at least one of their games - maybe Wrath of the Black Manta, or Bonk 3?
As you can see, this was a very Raiden-inspired game, much like A.I.’s prior arcade SHMUP, Blazeon, owes its existence to Gradius.
The board was recently sold in a Yahoo! Japan Auction listing, and was acquired and dumped by Shou. Read way more about it here.
