I was today's years old when I discovered that these were the same flower. 😬🤦🏾‍♂️

Mine are all in the loft unfortunately, but yeah, there's definitely something special. ✨

Endrant Star is looking promising. I'm seeing influences from Pulstar, Andro Dunos and Gradius from what I've seen so far.

Played Huntdown on Switch, but had to grab that big box for PS4. It didn't disappoint.

Might be time for a Huntdown replay. Outstanding game, I'd love a sequel.

We all want our kids to win, but it’s important to understand that it’s okay to lose, too. A story of coming to grips with both from @ravi64.com for @crossplayblog.bsky.social: www.crossplay.news/p/helping-ch...

Rivalry.

Received Rival Megagun from First Press games today, it took just over a month since I ordered. Still waiting for Crimson Clover (4 years now, I believe 💀)... @arronetchells.bsky.social

My attempt to restore the artwork of #RType by Naoyuki Katoh used on the cover of the #MSX and #SharpX68000 releases in Japan. Removed text/logos, taking some creative liberties with the game logo free piece, applying the usual clean/retouch process with no need for upscale.

'94.

Here, the R-Type II (and the original game's) pixel artist, describes how and why II's final aesthetic didn't match his original vision. Fascinating. x.com/akio_1963/st...

Maverick.

Post de apreciación de los bosses de Gaiares (Telenet, 1990). Muy cuidados gráficamente, pero también con una sensación de movimiento por encima de lo habitual en su combo de género, sistema y época. youtu.be/Ao_8Mt8jTgQ?...

Still the King, nice to have this physically and on Switch.

easy fix

A classic.

Good morning! 🙋‍♂️

2,09 Euro for Sega Ages Phantasy Star, Virtua Racing, Fantasy Zone and many others. You really, REALLY should invest that money. These are the best version of some all-time classics. Get these! Get Herzog Zwei! Get Out Run! It's a steal!

Nichibutsu's 1989 STG 'Tatakae! Big Fighter' is this weeks Arcade Archives release. For reasons unknown however it's landing on Switch today but isn't coming to PS4 for another 2 days?!? Hopefully this doesn't become a trend #ビッグファイター #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ

Cousins bickering, money running low, yep, almost time to go home. 🌴🌅🙁

Just filling up my Switch cart case. 👀

I'm shocked I survived this. 💀

Rough vs the final thing. I enjoyed doing this one.

Shenanigans in Jamaica with these two 😅.

Toaplan Museum with a set-up of 20 classic arcade games such as Batsugun, Tatsujin (Truxton), Out Zone and Zero Wing, currently open in the arcade Mikado in Tokyo until April 13.

Receiving "new" MD games in 2025 is a glorious thing.

I know no-one likes them but this one was my best April fools post.

Here are some pics of the PAL Asian version to celebrate: Bare Knuckle II, Streets of Rage II.

After 32 years of trying, I've finally managed to unlock Shiva in Streets of Rage 2. 😎

I cannot confirm nor deny the plans, but things be movin' and shakin' in mysterious ways... 👍

"The Unknown History of Splatterhouse"! Over 1 hour and 10 minutes long, we cover the original trilogy with all new developer commentary! Many thanks to Takashi Oda and Masami Shimotsuma for their contributions. Watch it here, live at 3PM: youtu.be/ZD0RHS5HWWE #namco #retrogaming #horror

I was bored. Wrote up the Rolan's Curse 2 review. Posting this at 5:24 am on a Monday morning because I don't care. pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2025/03/2025... #retrogaming #gameboy #NMK

Weekend shenanigans! 👀
