Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Meta Muse can program for the Atari 2600! This thing has been debugging using a local emulator, writing asm, testing on javatari, adding sound, and fixing bugs to produce a working rom running in RetroArch. I'm impressed. #retro #gaming #muse #meta #atari2600 #rom #atari 000
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I finished Wizardry 1: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (remake). What a challenging dungeon crawler! The last level took a bit of luck with monster encounters but the final battle with the wizard was sort of easy. TILTOWAIT from the mage and MALIKTO from the priest worked well. #gaming #wizardry 021
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I just finished Ys Chronicles I on the PSP. This was my first play through and it felt a lot like classic Zelda. The final boss was incredibly tough. Overall a great game. #retro #gaming #playstation #psp 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I just finished Solasta Crown of the Magister. What an epic game! Reminds me of Baldurs Gate 2, closest D&D that I recall. Winning the final battle took me 5 attempts. I moved players by the dragons to aid them and lots of defense. The second phase was heal potions to last 4 rounds. #rpg #gaming 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I just finished Lady Sia, a short platformer game on the GBA. After completing a bunch in the Castlevania series, this one was a bit on the light side. It reminded me of the Flash games from the early 2000s. Magic had no value, but looking up down is a nice mechanic. #nintendo #gba #gameboyadvance 000
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 05/04/2026A serendipitous retro gaming completion from 38 years ago! #NES #bioniccommando #nintendo #retro #gaming 032
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I just finished Bionic Commando on the NES. I could never get past the second level way back when.. thank goodness for save states! This is a very unique game with no jump ability, just a grappling arm. It also has levels reminiscent of Commando. #nintendo #retro #gaming #nes 221
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I finished Castlevania Symphony of the Night on PS1 for the first time. This was another great game in the series with the best music track yet, especially the ending. The reverse castle in the second half was fun + such creative enemies. #castlevania #playstation #gaming #retro 001
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 15/03/2026The final boss in Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow on the DS. My health stats were down to 1 HP/MP. One single hit would have ended the game. This is a great action shot of the final scene. #castlevania #gaming #nintendo #metroidvania #retro #screenshots 011
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I just finished the "best" ending in Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow on the Nintendo DS. I had 1 HP and 1 MP, no more potions. Somehow I managed to jump platforms dodging skulls and using only basic attacks for the final blow. I highly recommend this game! #castlevania #retro #gaming 211
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I just completed Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (NDS) for the first time. I finished the "false" ending of the game where the boss battle with the fire guy is very easy. Great game, fun concept of absorbing souls for different special attacks. #castlevania #nds #gaming #retrogames 020
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I finished Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA! Another must-play game in the metroidvania style. I liked the monster creativity in Aria of Sorrow a tiny bit more, especially underwater. Next up, Dawn of Sorrow for the Nintendo DS! #castlevania #gaming #retro #retrogames #metroidvania 040
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 05/02/2026What do you think of my interior design? Ok, not a whole lot of custom choice here, but I've collected quite a few knickknacks along the way. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, 66% map completion. #castlevania #retrogames #gaming #metroidvania #gameboyadvance #GBA #nintendo 000
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Many of the levels, enemies, weapons (and even that rolling Buer thing) were the inspiration in Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, which is probably my favorite game of 2025. I'm moving on to Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance next. #gaming #castlevania #nintendo #metroidvania #retro #retrogaming 100
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 01/02/2026I finished Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on the GBA. This was an amazing game, different from the classic NES as you don't have a whip, but a huge selection of weapons and powers. You absorb enemy skills like in Metroid Fusion. I see Bloodstained Ritual of the Night inspired from this! #metroidvania 100
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. The skill Zombie Officer Soul says "Jumping while taking damage restores health", but whenever I get hit while in the air I still take damage. It actually means you won’t get knocked backward by attacks - damage is unchanged! Too funny. #castlevania #gaming #retro #gba 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 19/01/2026I vibe coded an isometric 2D/3D maze game, including special effects for snow, ice glitter sparkles, and torches, and even some dramatic camera zoom effects. primaryobjects.github.io/maze #gaming #programming #isometric #maze #webapp #vibecoding 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 17/01/2026@omegametroid.bsky.social An easy tactic to defeat the final boss X-Samus on the last level is to stand in the left middle doorway and keep blasting the laser, pushing the X off each time. No need to jump around. :) 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I've continued my Metroid streak, finishing out Metroid Fusion on the GBA. Wow, this one was just as fun as Metroid Zero. I'm not even sure which is better. The mutating monsters and absorption of essence was a great addition. Fun game! What should I play next? #metroid #metroidvania #gba #nintendo 331
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 01/01/2026I just finished Metroid Zero Mission on the GBA. An amazing game and possibly my favorite of the series! If you're a retro Metroid fan, it's a must-play. As for my stats, I guess I missed a few powerups! #gaming #retrogames #metroid #gba #nintendo @omegametroid.bsky.social 040
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 29/12/2025In Metroid Zero Mission for GameBoy Advance (GBA) an easy trick to beat Mother Brain is stand on the tippy tip of her ledge, jump over her laser, fire 6 missiles, repeat. You avoid most turrets and circles. omegametroid.com/metroid-zero... #metroid #gaming #retrogames #metroidvania 110
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 13/12/2025At long last, I've beat Bloodstained Ritual of the Night! What an incredible Metroid/Castlevania game. This is how all modern 2D games should be. The graphics, music, gameplay. #castlevania #metroid #bloodstained #gaming #gamer #metroidvania 031
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I wrote my first Atari 2600 game. Quite the retro programming experience. I programmed it using Batari Basic in VS Code with the Atari Dev Studio extension. gist.github.com/primaryobjec... #retro #gaming #atari #atari2600 051
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I just finished Phantasy Star Zero on Nintendo DS. I defeated Mother Trinity and the smoke monster thing at level 26. It took a couple of retries to pickup that pattern. #nintendods #nintendo #ps0 #phantasystar #gaming #retrogames 051
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I finished Golden Sun! An excellent rpg game for the Game Boy Advance. It reminded me of Chrono Trigger and perhaps Zelda, with dungeon puzzles. #retrogames #gaming #rpg #sega #gameboy #gba 051
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 12/08/2025This retro screenshot from Lord of The Rings on the Gameboy Advance (GBA) really captures it all. #gba #gameboy #nintendo #retro #retrogames #gaming #games 042
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 12/08/2025I finally completed Lord of the Rings - The Third Age for GameBoy Advance (GBA). An amazing rpg, and I'm not even a LOTR enthusiast. #retro #gaming #gba #gameboy #LOTR #retrogames #nes #nintendo 162
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I programmed in hex (binary) with AI. It was surprisingly adept at creating programs that print ASCII art. The resulting code was copied into a hex editor and run with DOSBox. Follow-up article coming soon! #programming #AI #ChatGPT #Sonnet #binary #hexedit gist.github.com/primaryobjec... 010
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I finished Adventures of Lolo 2 on the NES. This was a bit more challenging than the first due to secrets like moving emeralds on snakey positions so they reappear elsewhere, and moving emeralds halfway between enemies to block two per time. An underrated puzzle game! #retro #nes #gaming #retrogames 000
Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I just finished Adventures of Lolo on the NES! This such an underrated game that stands the test of time. It's a combo of puzzle, logic, and a tiny bit of eye hand coordination (it is a video game after all). Long ago, I barely got past stage 5. Thank you, save states! #nintendo #NES #gaming #retro 030

Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Just completed "Zelda: The Minish Cap" for Game Boy Advance. Wow, what an amazing game!

Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 08/04/2025My achievement for the week! I've beaten Sword of Vermillion on the Sega Genesis. This was a great retro rpg/action game.

Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I just finished the retro Sega game Golvellius. What a fun quirky game this was, similar to Zelda and Golden Axe Warrior.
