Actually this is good I was worried I might have to play Fortnite someday when Brian Quest 64 gets added, now I don't have to. And it takes a lot of future pressure and FOMO off my plate for games like Phantom Blade etc.. Epic won't get another cent of retail sales from me

Slowly going through my Steam library and sorting out what I actually want to play. Tonight was 20 Minutes to Dawn, a "heaven shooter" that I believe predates Vampire Survivors. It's... okay. Definitely no Vampire Survivors. Also a tad boring. So, maybe not okay. Little slow, weapons kinda bland.

Games named for the act of going around planting bombs likely wasn't going to go down all that well with retailers in 1980s Britain after nearly two decades of 'The Troubles'. Hudson's first Bomberman game was censored for its Euro release and retitled... Eric & The Floaters.

September 27 2000, Shiren the Wanderer 2 debuted on the N64 in Japan! Designer Kouji Malta, who also worked on Earthbound, was inspired by the board game Catan when implementing the castle building mechanics; this entry remains a very popular game in the series to this day!

I'm almost positive that I picked up my N64 and Mario 64 thirty years ago yesterday. Saving up for months and buying it a few days before the official release date was one of the most thrilling video game purchases of my life.

Or perhaps I can tempt you with this deeply forbidden Chinese language version of Suikoden 1 that uses default system windows for its interface?

An image of a battle in the Chinese language PC version of Suikoden 1. It's running in a tiny window, and all of the stats and battle information is displayed in a plain grey system window attached to it. Another window alongside it offers battle commands via a standard Windows bullet point selection. Everything is wrapped in one big window that represents the game.

This is damn near impossible for me, but these are either games that I adore or games that became a stable in my rotation. Mario 3 may not be my favorite Mario, for example, but it definitely made the biggest impact. My 9 games #My9Games my9games.net/en/share/767...

It's a great Picross game at the normal picross price of $8, which I think is the universally accepted amount a picross game should be. Steal at $2.50 or less.

I've been low-key obsessed w/ The New Tetris this week. It's not a great Tetris. It's incredibly slow, has floaty controls, and the stage/music unlocks come through at a snail's pace - but the "square" mechanic that, as far as I know, is unique to this game is fantastic and changes the way you play.

They are all intertwined by the cords of their peripherals, while behind them is a giant Dreamcast glowing gently over them. In the background are floating Chao, Light Chao, and Dark Chao, Amigo from Samba de Amigo, and a Chu Chu and Kapu Kapu. Also Seaman looking upset at Ulala, maybe Ulala said some crass words that he didn't enjoy

Speaking of Fortnite, I suspect that this "video game season" is going to launch arcade/console roms as a thing you can buy & play in Fortnite. Which, if they emulate well and have stuff like leaderboards, great! I'd love to see Microsoft's "Game Room" concept attempted again! I'd buy Pac-Man again.

"How do you feel about the amount of PAC-MAN content currently in FORTNITE?" Way too little, Epic! Put that yellow guy everywhere! Make Pac-Man riding the wooden guy from Tekken a skin! Make seeing the first cinematic in Pac-Man a req for winning a battle royale! Make the bullets sound "Wakka!"
