This W E I R D game is a long-lost Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game from the '90s. It's never been widely released. We own the full rights - and we've gone to insane lengths to prepare for its first wide release. Adventurous Boy is coming to modern formats and authentic MD carts!

Looking for 👾retro game recs.🎮 Love shmups and beat ’em ups the most, but I’m pretty open to anything old-school or retro-looking. What are some hidden gems I need to play? Classics or modern games with that vibe both welcome. I love shmups, Beat em ups, platform and racing games!

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Panel 1: Shen is wearing a labcoat and glasses, and talking to a man in a short-haired black man in a suit next to him. Shen is looking over smugly at him, whereas the man is looking up at something big in the distance with his mouth agape. They're on a rooftop. Shen says "you see, we summoned both Satan AND Cthulhu."

Panel 2: We flip the perspective to see that Shen and the man are looking at a city skyline, with Satan and Cthulhu towering over the buildings in the middle of it, looking at each other intently. Shen says "this way, they'll take each OTHER out."

Panel 3: Satan and Cthulhu dap each other up, light emanating from their hands clasped in the center, just due to the sheer power and significance of this particular dap.

Panel 4: Shen is sweating a lot, his eyes now filled with anxiety and horror. He says "ah, shit."

While a lot of things I'm going for are (imo) improvements, having no bombs at all in a bullet hell definitely is deliberately breaking a genre convention. It stems from me personally not liking bombing in Shmups, in short, it becomes a button you use less and less the better you get. #indiedev

Has anyone used Shmup Creator at all here? My son is obsessed with Gradius at the moment and I've read some good things about it. He's really good with Doom Builder and while he's learning basic coding, he just wants to make a game! It sounds like the kind of thing I would have loved as a kid.

Gradius III SA-1 is one my most proud ROM hacks. Zero slowdown. Gameplay fluid as a rocket. You can either play it unlocked (60 FPS and harder) or play the Origin version (60 FPS with speed controls for fair difficulty). It's available for download and works on real hardware.
