‘Dacholer’ & ‘Kick Boy’ arrive tomorrow. Following last week’s release of the early Taito game Steel Worker, Hamster seems to be sticking with the theme of the early 80s, revealing that it will be reissuing Nichibutsu’s football-inspired action games Dacholer and Kick Boy later this week.

The ongoing legal fight between OpenAI co-founders Elon Musk and Sam Altman has seen the release of a treasure-trove of internal documentation from the firm’s earliest years.
