Oh no, we let @youknowlydia.bsky.social cover another Elvis movie!? Why would we do that! This one is incest themed! It's got a foot song! That isn't even the worst part! I broke my exclamation point button. It's called Kissin Cousins. 1900hotdog.com/2025/01/fuck...

Arctic Shipwreck for the C64. The player controls a Woolly Mammoth, who uses its weight to tilt a chunk of ice different angles in order to prevent shipwreck survivors from sliding off or being eaten by a pterodactyl while waiting for a rescue ship.

Remember the game Kiss: Psycho Circus? That FPS featuring the Kiss band running on the Lithtech Engine I've made a repack of the full game with fixes to run it on modern PCs, just install and it's ready to play, no extra tinkering required: mega.nz/file/KaZnnQJ...

Did you have a good Chrismas? Well, you know who you should thank for that? The Bratz Babyz. They saved Christmas! Without them, you would have nothing. @youknowlydia.bsky.social bravely reports on the heroic exploits of these dead-eyed CGI Babyz. 1900hotdog.com/2024/12/upse...

Please share my post. I publish on old games fanzines and am currently researching the history of moving arcade cabinets. Tell me about EXIDY's 'Rolling Star Fire (1979)' and 'Vertigo (1985)'.

limited-run-games.myshopify.com/products/the... Volume 3 of @jparish.bsky.social The NES Era is up for pre-order. Admire that spread of Hydlide juxtaposed with Mega Man 2, and imagine having to select a single screenshot to represent Mega Man 2.

Croonchy Stars (1988-1989) The Swedish Chef got his own cereal, with these sweet, cinnamon toast stars. The most memorable thing about this cereal were the absurdist, sometimes unsolvable games and puzzles on the back of the box.

Working my way through the "First Console War" portion of Atari 50 expanded. Fantastic story with insight from those that were there. I had not thought of Dark Cavern since I was probably 8 years old. What a gift this software continues to be.
