I need to make a website for all my gaming related stuff, instead of just dumping everything on my Discord server.

We took a look at Rod Land way way back in 2017, but @mp83.bsky.social sent some corrections and new information for the article. Check it out!

A random fact about this game! The grunt sound that Fred makes in the Amiga version of the game is the exact same sound that Chubby Gristle makes whenever he jumps.

This game owns! Thank you for the update. Looking forward to the future. (:

[2/2] This game is very flawed, but funny, and could really use a remake with better video quality and gameplay, as the original had the impossible second portion (unless you used pause scumming).

[1/2] Does anyone know who now owns the rights to Midnight Raiders (1994, Sega CD)? It's a live-action, full-motion action game developed by Stargate Productions, directed by Sam Nicholson, and produced by Tony Cabalu. The music was composed by Mars Lasar.

Instant karma. (: Also, it's weird how different this Nuts & Milk is from computer originals.

BONUS: Here's the mobile phone versions of Doki Doki Penguin Land, or the ones that I could find screenshots of. There's also the BREW version from 2003, at least.

I've played Doki Doki Penguin Land (SG-1000/MSX/Arcade) many, many times in my lifetime and I've never had this happen before. Does anyone know what the trigger is to have the mole appear from the window like that? I'm having troubles trying to recreate this.

Oh nice! I wasn't thinking that anyone would fan-translate this one. Took me a while to realize that it's the PS2 version that's being talked here. I wonder if Ys IV PS2 is going to be fan-translated to English too.
