I'm a lifelong gamer who started with electronic games, Atari 2600, and NES. Big budget games don't appeal to me anymore so I play retro and indie nowadays.

I just finished GG Aleste for Game Gear. Pretty decent shmup and it has an approachable difficulty. Cute still cutscenes. The one warning I will give is that it has some high pitched screeching sound effects which you will find in other Master System and Game Gear games.

It's one of those dreams I wish I could remember better. The setting is a handful of dive bars and the main character is a chatty guy, like Tyler Durden from Fight Club. Through talking people he discovers that everyone including himself is dead. 1/4

I first played Phantasy Star 4 some 20 years ago. Even after all this time I consider it one of the best games ever made and I'm proud to have it in my collection.

I just finished Crystal Breaker, a new indie shmup on Steam and Switch. It's a fun, simple, frantic shooter that avoids some of the pet peeves shmups are known for.

A couple of years ago I beat Ocarina of Time for the first time on Christmas Day. This year, I beat Skyward Sword for the first time on Christmas Eve, although I wasn't intending on it. 1/4

Watched someone play Summoner on PS2 this morning. It reminded me that developer put this easter egg video on another one of their games, Red Faction, for PC. The characters are from Summoner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvek...
