Lol! I got a 1. I didn't seriously play any of the games in the quiz except Diablo. I need a test of even more ancient lore! Thanks for the link!

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?...

So, something a little different for Late Night Longplay. Parappa The Rappa II. I loved this game. A little longer than my usual long plays, this one took multiple sessions. #ps2 #playstation #sony #rythmgame #parappatherappa youtu.be/3LhU_Fy0zIM?...

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?...

Every great city needs an international airport. "The City" in Skid Row Joe is no exception. In the version I'm working on now you can't travel, but maybe in Skid Row Joe 2. I better finish the first one first! 😂 #gamedev #indydev #pixelart #8bitart #retro

Lol! It's expensive. But, in the new mobile version I'm including a lot more opportunities. At the same time I'm including a few extra dangers. My Pico-8 version is just super difficult. You won't be sweating train tickets in the new one because you can just pay cash when you want to travel 🚉

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

Retropute @retropute.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Yes, the controls are not what you’d expect for this character. They tried to make up for it with the platformer levels, but it never quite feels right. Heavy is a good way to describe it.

Late Night Longplay! Spider-Man This arcade beat um up is not bad. In not a fan of the switches from beat um up to platformer, but Sega’s always gotta be different. #arcade #spider-man #Marvel #sega #videogame youtu.be/_72sNhW41XI?...

lol! Yes! This book was marketed as a good value because it had so many different games in it. I never called a help line as a kid, but I was aware of them. I’m pretty sure they made Nintendo millions.

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

I so need to play this game. I’ve had it in the list for years and still haven’t gotten to it. For someone who loves point-n-clicks as much as I do, that’s embarrassing.

Another AliExpress bootleg of a ROM hack. Dr. Who! It’s weird to me that the NES never had an official Dr. Who title. I mean it’s Dr. Who. #drwho #thedoctor #nes #romhack #nintendo #retro #videogame

It’s a rom hack of Super Mario Brothers 2. It plays very much like that game. You can be John, Ringo, George, or Paul and each has slightly different skills like the characters in SMB2. There are lots of Beatles songs, the music is fantastic!! Worth a play.

Retropute @retropute.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

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
