Starting this sadly abandoned Bungie game but the fan made Anniversery Edition which features bug fixes and modern OS support. There are mods you can choose to install but the first playthrough should just be stock AE.

Game 51 finished and it’s Shadowrun on the Mega Drive! Based on the fantasy cyberpunk TTRPG which sees you investigating the death of your brother. The game is a sandbox with an overarching plot but lets you do endless missions to earn nuyen and karma to upgrade yourself.

Five years later but finally got this beauty!

Game 50 beaten and it’s Nostalgia 1907 for the Mega-CD! A recent fan translation has made this playable in English. An enjoyable detective story but if you mess up the bomb puzzle at the end you have to listen to a lot of dialogue again….

Finally starting on Shadowrun for the Mega Drive which I’ve wanted to play for years! Never released in PAL territories but this repro has the improvement patch and region change along with some extra starting nuyen and ammo 😎

Game 49 finished and it's Unreal: Return to Na Pali for the PC! The expansion pack (back before DLC) for Unreal, it doesn't feel as epic (ha ha) but the level design is less convulted and now features voice acting and is set directly after the main game to wrap up the story!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Game 48 beaten and it's Unreal on the PC! A classic of the FPS genre which I haven't played before, some impressive tech on show for the time but some of the map designs are annoying. Definitely worth trying if you're a fan of the genre and has an expansion pack as well!

Game 47 finished and it’s Quest RPG - Brian’s Journey for the GameBoy Color! A surprisingly good demake of the N64 game! All of the locations, bosses and enemies as far as I can tell are included and also includes more story scenes. A bit easy but still enjoyable!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I’ve been levelling them equally and at 25 now, air has been my least used except for bosses with type advantage 😅 fire has been my main attacker though

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Ah okay, I did wonder as I saw earth’s symbol while picking heal which makes me assume that it uses the level of water and earth to decide how effective it is?

010

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I’ve been playing Brian’s Journey the last couple of days and been really enjoying it. Having completed the N64 original first makes this more impressive as a demake! In this one it shows that spells mix the elements but was that true in the original?

Hey y'all, I've been let down on a payment from a client and in a bit of a pickle. I've been adjusting to new meds so it's been a slender month for having a back-up. Picking up copies/bundles of my zine and pp/kofi love would really be appreciated right now. paypal.me/curicuri ko-fi.com/retrobytes

Game 45 finished and it’s The Legend of Zelda: Moonlight Regalia on the GBC! A hack of one of the Oracle games which is dungeon focused and has a smaller world map. The some of the puzzles make this feel more like a Master Quest style game but is well made and has two endings!

This might take a while 😅

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Puzzles designed around moving between the floors or a tree for the penultimate dungeon but now beaten and received the item to break the seal now that I have the eight pieces of Regalia!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

This dungeon had some cool paintings as portals into different landscapes and some colour puzzles. Seventh boss defeated!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

This one was more of a slog to get through but the boss was another multiphase encounter which forced you to mix up your strategy.

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Just got this from one of the Inverclyde libraries, there isn’t a PDF available online but you can pick up a physical for free 😊

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

A multi phase boss which uses the cane in an interesting way. I assume it was in the original game but I played it decades ago. Fifth dungeon finished!

Funnily enough found the fifth dungeon before the fourth but didn’t try it as I assumed I would need another weapon/ability. Either way fourth dungeon is now done!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Getting the switch hook was a bit evil as was finding the way to the third dungeon but third boss down!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Second boss defeated, that took a while to get the red face enough times 😅

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

That first boss was evil, had to look up online to see what to do as the original game you had the seed launcher to hit them.

Started a new Zelda game which is a ROM hack of the Oracle games.

Game 44 beaten and it’s Lunar Mystery 2103 on the GameBoy! An exploration/adventure game with some combat and vehicle sections. This has more gameplay variety than the devs previous two games which is nice to see. It was nice being able to play it in small bits while on holiday.

One last thing to share before heading to bed This right here is an attempt at porting the #ScummVM engine to the #SegaCD by "love me hate me" using #KingsQuest IV as an example Footage sped up from 11fps and still very early in dev youtu.be/kMJA6JgP8B0 #SCUMM #retrogaming #gaming #Sega #homebrew
