Finally beat Xevious for #210! I really had fun playing this one even though it got infuriating in some of the later stages. The final score is the best photo proof I have but I think it shows the skill enough.

A picture of my TV with the title screen of Xevious on the NES. Final score was 415480. This isn’t the typical ending screen I normally show but Xevious doesn’t have one and the score is high enough for proof of clearing it in my opinion.

The final few levels in Xevious are just a nightmare. I’m semi-consistently getting there, so it will be finished soon I bet.

Sometimes I think about this Atari 7800 homebrew. The most impressive game on the console, nothing else comes close. Imagine if this had come out during the actual era!

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends

I have been trying to get the true ending in Spelunky HD for a few months. I was hoping to finish before Mina the Hollower is out on Friday. I’ve been to the final level so any run could be the run!

There was some speculation on the Retronauts Discord that TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures never came to the U.S. because Konami couldn't figure out how to market it in the screamoid era of ’90s game ads, so I took it upon myself to lead the way

An ad with a man doubling over in pain as a TwinBee sprite punches his crotch. A cartoon rainbow bursts from his skull. The text reads "it will PUNCH YOU in the BELLS so hard you'll see RAINBOWS". The OW in RAINBOWS is highlighted in a different color of text.

In that alternate reality, this game sold more than a million units in North America.

Finished Rock ‘n’ Ball last night! 208 games completed. The battle pinball boards are such a cool idea for two player, but they were pretty annoying against the CPU. Next up is Faxanadu. I’ve never played this! I’m pretty hyped about getting into it.

arnpoly (210) @arnpoly.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

After struggling in Rock’n’ Ball for quite some time, I finally scored 1.1M and got first place! The other sub-games should be much easier, then I can make this one completed! Yay!

arnpoly (210) @arnpoly.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

I figured out how to farm extra balls in Rock ‘n Ball, so as long as I can keep that going I can continue playing poorly and eventually succeed.
