yup complete agreement. i'd have shilled it hard as a fanboy on my tiny youtube channel as i am sure many others probably would have done too and it would have been cheap marketing.

that pesky Sports Challenge at it again! :D was going to say odd that Wrestling Superstars got a single release... though slapping copyright Hogan on the front was pretty brazen haha

Stryker isn't too hard to get (not willing to pay eBay prices), part the fun is finding them cheap! Else yep. Haha

Hiya, just the singles, though I have two jewel case ones too that are technically on the list! Quattros also count :) (the list being the classic white games)

1st was Treasure Island for myself. But I own them all today and still fondly play here and there. I'm collecting old C64 Codemasters currently too, so it is all on the forefront of my brain :)

"they were never good" simply isn't true. For me Dizzy was as big as Mario, and I don't take that lightly as a childhood view.

They did come off crazy passionate, absolutely fire in them when they hit a stride about ideas and implication (like the line about reverse engineering a NES). What I noticed though - their whole ai back and forth was practiced. Go back on the coverage on TE comments - not quite verbatim, but ready

I was at this talk too What got me was their amazing "we would knock a game out in a month" insane work ethic I'd rather play a new Dizzy game on original hardware, knocked out in a month. Hell have 2 months to be kind Bet you could get an artist for free on the box art too Day 1 purchase here

I'm the very same with the Red Dead games. Both exceptional. Neither do I want to revisit doing ranch chores seemingly forever or that snow opening section that was insanely boring.

excellent! I tell a lie though - i have another spreadsheet with C64 full sets (Hit Squad/Codies/Encore etc and how much I paid for them

Excellent! I have a tracker for my completed games but that's about it

Only advice I can give is look after your loved ones affected, but don't forget to be absolutely selfish for yourself when you want to too. You are important ❤️

as humourous as it is to see someone like that get pegged by someone so prominent, it is also sad that there are so many amazing creators/artists/genuine fans of things that don't get the same attention these types don't deserve it in the first place, but yeah he got slapped by the Kingpin good 😅

Dead Cells too. one of the finest games ever

Super Jim @superjim.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
such a bland game! had the potential to be excellent!

all the love. if it is any consolation at all from one complete stranger to another, my dad passed in May, long term cancer. there isn't words to fix anything, nor should you need to. just scream at the sky when you want to x

Fun new toy day ❤️ Louis and Janine Real Ghostbusters figures should have come out way back when in this form with the originals! But still... 40 years later 😅 A bit of modern nostalgia fun

i think typing 'rare' into ebay is a misnomer to be fair. who decides what is rare or isn't? definitely not an ebay seller :D but yeah that is silly going back to your post :D

What say the jury? Mysterious plant eating sickness or remarkably identically spaced teefs? Court is in session. ⚖️

looked pretty but good lord was it not for me. tried it on DS too - now that was tortuous!

70 hours a YEAR for 300 grand. Or am I misreading that?

It's such a dumb fun game. Loved every minute of it! Enjoy :)

Very cool! Are the characters original design? They look great too

To be fair, that Syndicate shooter was quite good.. though it called have been called absolutely anything else 😅

Etsy is for crafts and candles.. emphasis on 'stuff has been made' so yeaaaah 😅

Super Jim @superjim.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
😅 oh just ask me in future. And assume 99% of anything SNES related you buy on Etsy is absolutely fake.

If there ever was a pair of games that absolutely should have stayed on the Amiga :D

Makes sense considering these titles will be/are out on other formats. A chance for Evercade to launch a 'modern' release at the same time as the current consoles

"little story" doing all the work in your response there 😅 Though now I really want a Blue Riband... And it's not even 8am 🍫
