Brilliant. A few years later, Puzzle Bobble will echo its deeds. Nice connection with some phrases from Offlaga Disco Pax if I'm not mistaken...

Escape Wonder Boy

Beautiful and passionate review but a bit long. The coin-op era has come to an end. A wonderful game, probably the best platformer of that time after Super Mario. Skateboarding was seriously awesome.

I don't know the game, but it must have been nice for sure; like you, I can't stand the invasion of video poker machines (where I’ve never inserted a coin) that are the scum of entertainment. Just look at the poor lobotomized souls who spend their salaries on them. Not a single one with a brain. For years, the only 'little bar' I frequent is owned by an 'enlightened' friend who refuses to have them, renouncing profit.

The best video game of all time? Yes, no, maybe. A legend. I remember the summer of 1985: there were 3 of us in this little bar playing all day long, so entranced that in the end, the owners decided to let us hold a tournament. We even met one afternoon to agree on how many practice matches we could play! Good times!

Wonderful. There isn't a single poorly executed strip, all of them have a gem.

Vincino Il Male

Wonderful Tognazzi as the head of the BR. Vincino is one of the most brilliant of all. I belong to the generation of Cuore, which especially in the pre-Tangentopoli years was an invaluable appointment. Then, as someone said at the time, unfortunately reality was destined to surpass fantasy. The headlines of 'Libero' would be beautiful if they were satire.

Franco Battiato L'ombrello e la macchina da cucire

Perhaps not the best of the Sgalambro era, but the most sincere and original. An album that is both sunny and nocturnal at the same time. Genius. Always in love with 'Gesualdo da Venosa', but all the tracks are worth repeated listens.

Riccardo Bertoncelli Belin, Sei Sicuro? Storia e Canzoni di Fabrizio De André

Great book. As highlighted, it doesn't seek improbable interpretations but lets those who knew and collaborated with Fabrizio in thirty years of music speak for themselves.

Jovanotti Lorenzo 1994

better the serious debut two years earlier. Lorenzo's only great merit is that he manages to guess catchy tunes that stick in your head. Always simple, sometimes brilliant. The problem is that sometimes, instead, he really says some nonsense.

Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari Oro Incenso & Birra

There’s no denying it’s a good album, but the masterpieces are elsewhere. And as for Zucchero’s plagiarisms, let’s remember the famous 'Il mare impetuoso altramonto salì sulla luna e dietro una tendina di stelle se la chiavò,' which is a poem (therefore, a text that is not set to music) by Piero Ciampi. In some cases, it would be enough just to write it down; Zucchero would have made a good impression, and Piero Ciampi might have gained a bit of posthumous glory.
