My latest game ramble is E.V.O. : Search for Eden for the SNES. Probably not the most exciting game I could have chosen, but I like it, It’s a cool game. Watch the ramble now. #snes #evo #ramble #retrogame youtu.be/v6UC_tvZiT4?...

Here’s my second Game Ramble. This time it’s Gauntlet, Dark Legacy for Xbox (The OG). Cheesy and wonderful, this is the first Xbox game I ever owned—got it when I bought the system in 2002. #xbox #tetrogame #gauntlet #videogames youtu.be/4aBRrUNQ7D0?...

Tonight’s Late Night Longplay is an arcade game called Gaiaopolis. I just loved this game. I even got into the story. Action RPG influenced quarter muncher that only took a little more than an hour to finish. My kind of game! #latenight #longplay #gaming #retro #arcade youtu.be/iXbukqxBDKk?...

I’m so excited. My AliExpress Earth Bound works on the Retron 1. This is the sort of game that needs playing in a living room on the TV. Granted, it would be better if my TV was a CRT, but I’ll take the win, I have a working OG NES, but I try to keep it light use. #EarthBound #nes #retron #jrpg #rpg

This is one of my prized books. The Quest for Clues. Before walkthroughs were a thing, before the internet was simple, we had guide books. I got this one for Xmas in 1988. It had the secrets for a lot of cool games. #questforclues #hintbook #computergames #retro

They just reprinted some of the old Choose Your Own Adventure books. These came out in the ‘70s and were one of the things that inspired early computer adventure games. I grew up with these books and love them. #chooseyourownadventure #books #adventure #retro #storytelling

Last year I stumbled on some NES bootlegs on AliExpress and couldn’t resist. Turns out a couple of them are rom hacks. I knew rom hacks existed but never really got into them… until now. New rabbit hole unlocked. This one, The Beatles Adventures in Pepperland is cool. #nes #romhacks #videogames
