Remember The Zone? Australia's wonderfully weird 90s gaming show is the subject of my latest Blast Processing video. I loved it as a kid. 30 years later, I've gone back to find out why. #TheZone #RetroGaming

I remember the first SAGE back in the early-ish days of SFGHQ, with Angelfire-hosted 'booths' and plenty of demos for relatively simple fan games made in Click and Create. It's quite incredible to see how far the community has come!

Desperately trying to catch up on what I missed in SF6 pools for #Evo2026 before Top 8. Nice mix of regional representation in the finals. Doubt I'll be seeing an Alex pick though... 😢 Maybe next year!

Special thanks to @slopesgameroom.bsky.social for providing his voice for the various quotes. And if anyone wants to hire the fantastic narrator from the intro, you can find him on Fiverr here: www.fiverr.com/petemcvo And yes, that intro script was from the game word-for-word 🫠

Dinosaurs and ultraviolence - it's a perfect combination in any media, but especially for a fighting game! Primal Rage was huge back in the 90s, but ended up surprisingly being a one-and-done. More about the arcade development, home ports and cancelled sequel in the new video: youtu.be/TzzDmWdRcJE

As a long-time Wonder Man fan, I'm enjoying seeing people's shocked reactions to how good the show ended up being. One step closer to my dream comic book movie!

Cool article from the ABC here that touches on why the Game Boy is so compelling to develop for. Back in the day, I used to make fan games with Click and Create back in the day, so the idea of making short titles in GB Studio sounds very fun in a similar way 👍

New games for an old console: Meet the new generation of Game Boy developers

A small community of game developers is releasing new games for Nintendo's decades-old video game console, harnessing the nostalgia of these classic devices.

No-one deserved this more than you, mate 👍👍

This is a lovely piece of writing - not technically a 'review', but gives a far more compelling and understandable viewpoint than most of the equivalent reports on the 'big' tech sites.

Blast Processing @blastprocshow.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Oh my god, he looks fantastic. So many throws! A good cross-up! A low run! The nostalgia costume looks great too. Looking forward to finally booting SF6 up again!

I love the atmosphere in Nightshade - like a weird, goofy noir adventure. Beam Software/Melbourne House have a super interesting library, great Australian devs! I'll always consider Transformers on the PS2 to be one of the most underrated games on the console.

One more video for 2025! This one is all about Top Gear Rally, one of my favourite games for the Nintendo 64. It's a physics-heavy rally title from early in the console's life that is punishing to start, but very rewarding when you give it a chance. Watch it here: youtu.be/4NYXy1BhuAk

I've tried (and failed) for years to make a video about why I loved Arcanum so much. This is very inspiring, 2026 may finally be the year!

Damn my recent video was all about the VHS tape that came with that issue of MMS. I did a double-take when I saw the cover again in the photo here!

I remember playing the Mega Drive version on a demo unit at the shops (maybe at World 4 Kids?) for a few minutes and loving it. Played it years later and liked it a lot less - this game seems closer to what I had initially remembered that version as!

Bonus video! Recently, I talked about how a certain VHS promo tape from Mean Machines Sega helped shape my early love of gaming. It has been decades since I have watched this tape in full. Let's check it out together for a bit of fun! youtu.be/KB-Ij9cwPCw?... #Sega #Retrogaming

Blast Processing is ten years old! 🥳 This is a bit of a different video for the channel - you will learn a little bit more about me and how I got into video games in the first place. You'll also get a bit of a preview of upcoming videos. Thanks for watching - here's to another ten years!

I'm thinking that it may just not be appropriate for smaller channels like mine to use it. It's disappointing, as the drop-off since I started using them this year has been massive. I try not to get hung up on 'views', but it was nice to see my videos getting served to a wider audience last year.

Blast Processing @blastprocshow.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I'm curious whether other #YouTube creators think of the built-in thumbnail A/B testing tool. I've used it for all my videos this year - not only does it end 'without a conclusive result', but overall video visibility over time seems to take a massive hit resulting in much lower view counts

Blast Processing @blastprocshow.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Sonic Blast on Game Gear wanted to be handheld Sonic & Knuckles with pre-rendered graphics, but it was not to be. Awkward level design and physics, mixed with an art style that was rough to say the least! Premieres this weekend: youtu.be/KcOcrCbwOR0?... #RetroGaming #SonicTheHedgehog

The footage from the New Virtua Fighter Project at #Evo2025 was absolutely ridiculous. The closer you look, the more you notice. The facial expressions in particular stand out to me - seeing characters grimace in pain or look surprised really helps sell the combat. youtu.be/dfG8XdOwPK8?...
