Meta 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

Built a free, browser‑based Wizardry 8 save editor that lets you load a .SAV and fix status effects like Disease, Insanity, Poisoned, Paralysis, Blind, Sleep, Hexed, and more. Made it after my Fighter got stuck permanently Diseased/Insane and started wrecking my party every fight. #rpg #gaming

Story time. I just started Wizardry 8 and somehow my fighter got disease and insane permanent status! So, he would attack other players. No save game editor fixed it. So, I gave the .SAV file to ChatGPT. It found the bug - 9999 duration (clearly a bug) and changed it to 0. It worked! #gaming #rpg

I 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

In Wizardry 1 Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (PC remake), the Ring of Death can be identified by a Bishop but is then auto-equipped requiring removal at the shop for 25k. That's the same price you would get to sell it. I suppose the ring is of no use? #gaming #wizardry #rpg #retrogames #retro

I just finished playing the demo for The Adventure of Simon Quest a retro platformer in the style of Castlevania 2 for the PC. This was a fun retro spin similar to the original. It would be amazing if modern graphics were added with the option to flip to retro. #castlevania #gaming #retro #nes

I 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

I 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

I 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

I 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

This is a great post on writing about NES games. Gems like this: "I still get chills playing Castlevania on NES. That castle feels alive—in a creepy, 'I hope there's not a skeleton around every corner' kind of way. Konami didn't just make a platformer; they built a mood." #retrogames #retro #gaming

I 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
