After almost 4 years, I’m hitting back on Tumblr since the blue bird is making poop, I’m gonna share a lot of stuff I did in this last years and new incoming.
This is the first one, a fast draw made with ProCreate recently.

So why does the arcade Yosaku's title screen credit "OLCA CORPORATION" with development? Was it a joke? Were the Orca Corporation people working at SNK at the time?
Update update:
Ah, some of the comments (Google translated from Japanese) below that one OLCA CORPORATION video,

mention that Orca Corporation produced a lot of pirated boards; so this could have been a pirate board by Orca of the SNK original. Whatever this version is, it has hazards also dropping from the tree branches! = o
