Reminder that they randomly shoved a cardboard cutout of Atomic Punk into the crowd shot in the TV spot for Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball.

Between the lackluster reception at the time, me ranking high on the leaderboards at one time despite still having only maybe 60% of the achievements, and personally witnessing a friend flinging a controller across the room in anger, my pick is Space Giraffe, a maddening game I deeply adore.

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the Arcade Archives list and the list of Arcade games released on the Wii Virtual Console. Unless I missed something obvious, these are the only Namco games left not yet on ACA: Solvalou Starblade Cyber Sled Quester Let’s hop to it on those first three, guys!

Spinal Breakers?! FFS, slow down, I’m still dealing with Silent Debuggers over here!

TFW your octogenarian chef screws up your filet mignon.

The first computers we ever had were a Commodore 64 (at my mom’s) and a TI-99/4A (dad’s). The first one I remember trying was a Commodore PET at COSI in Columbus.

Shmups are a very tough genre to get right. Difficult but fair, action packed from the get go but also approachable, deep scoring mechanics beyond 'shoot stuff, don't die or bomb' When you can't spell your own game's name correctly you have to wonder if these people are up to the task (answer: no)

The Oozefoxies

A while ago, I posted a pic of Mega Drive/Genesis games released in 88-89 that had absolute bangers in terms of soundtracks. Along the same lines, it still blows my mind how rich Dungeon Explorer sounds, released mere months after the PC Engine itself. youtu.be/x_A8yySXm6o?...

Lay’s is generally a brand I consider garbage tier, but I’m not beyond sampling their experimental flavors. 10/10, would recommend.

I have a fond memory of a Japanese friend of mine introducing me to this game around 99, emphasizing above all else that I should play it because it was developed by Westone. Cool to see it’s coming back.

New Mega Man boss just dropped.

….Hello!

*sigh*

Ah, I see how it is. Anyway, if you get a PM from this scumbag about me, ignore and report. (Also, for future searchers: Did you find this post by looking up the name “aaronklid29”? Congrats on searching before clicking: The person you’re talking to is running a phishing scam)

Hey, just a heads up since I almost fell for this scam. A few of my mutuals follow this guy. Please block and report.

State of Play Sega Genesis games instead

Every time Frank places a chip in that reader, the Famicom Disk System boot music/sound effects are running through my head.

Racing? On Ridges?! Slow down, son: What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned road?!

I just happened to remember that tomorrow marks six years since we lost this sweet lady. Maki was around 2 when I got her, but spent her next 17 years by my side. I could not have asked for a better companion. Rest well, sweetie.

they puttin fuckin blues clues baby shows in crossworlds before vectorman smdh

It’s kind of weird to randomly meet someone in the wild who’s obsessed with reality television at the same level as the most diehard MCU fan. A friend of mine has followed the Padres since age 9, so yeah, he’s big on them. What was this person really into as a child? Elevated neighborhood drama?

Man, the Babylon 5 Curse is not something any cast should aspire to emulate.

Man, remember the Nintendo Horsebag(R)?

Anyway, Game Gear Mega Man is an odd duck. It’s tempting to label it garbage tier, but also, it’s generally more competent than your average US Gold game based on a Capcom property. Except for the final stage, which redoes Quickman with faster beams and sans Flash Stopper. That part can go to hell.
