#justbeatit, Star Fox. Star Fox is an amazing game! The fast-paced gameplay, branching paths, memorable characters, and excellent soundtrack still make it an enjoyable experience. A highly replayable classic that laid the foundation for the series. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit Mega Man 6! After taking a break for several years I finally went back and finished off the NES hexalogy. This is probably the weakest on the system but is by no means a bad game, just a bit samey and on the easy side. Still a fun romp!

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.93 Starlight Legacy (NSW). A solid budget RPG with fun customizable combat, great QoL features (toggle encounters & EXP), excellent music, and non-linear progression. The story is forgettable, but the gameplay makes it an easy recommendation for JRPG fans.

#justbeatit Hell Is Us. I appreciated the world building in this dystopian action game and most of the puzzles. However the combat didn’t click with me so exploration, felt tedious. I dropped the difficulty to plow through the last 20% of the game @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Tetris NES Trying to get a high score for the classic gaming podcast. Got higher in the past but in the meantime I’ll post this beat screenshot. All timer game for me, the NES one might still be one of the best variants, except it doesn’t have multiplayer. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Postmouse Student-made 3d platformer. Great looking but because of the realistic environments the platforming can be pretty jank. Also this game didn’t run well on my PC so guess it’s not well optimized? Apart from some frustrating sections still fun game! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

You have to admire the high effort of FMV games like Mansion of Hidden Souls (Sega CD), even while you lament the lack of engaging gameplay. This roughly 7-room "mansion" is 97% proto-walking sim, > 2% adventure game, & < 1% puzzles, & I #JustBeatIt. Nothing to recommend @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Strikers 1945 on ps1 gives you a run for your money. Gives you a state of mind that you are in for a easy time and quickly shuts that down with bullet hell mechanics. Never got past level 6 in my teenage years but now I can say I beat it. 5/5 awesome shmup. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

#justbeatit Gradius (NSO). This is one tough shooter. Each level starts the same way so I also thought I wasn’t making progress for awhile, but I don’t play many retro games so I’m likely an idiot. Glad I played it on the Switch @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

38) Bomberman 2 This was a pretty good NES game. The one has a great visual style, pretty good weapons, and some cool weapons. The one thing I didn’t like in this one was how you had to keep destroying random blocks to find the exit in each level. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
