To someone it is!

Fuck you, hurricane!

‘Who the fuck wants to play this?’ is such a nonsense piece of criticism.

What this means is ‘I don’t want to play this’.

Lots of people do.

I listened earlier as I thought it looked weird. Hours later I’m still watching, they’re amazing.

Absolutely come around to this thinking. I love vinyl as a fuzzy, tactile option, but it’s just too expensive and I cannot be arsed flipping records every 20 minutes. Happy to straddle both formats where necessary, but it’s CDs from now on.

Witchbrook release date plz

Probably the first PC game I ever sat down and played properly (Id had a quick look at Diablo and Dungeon Keeper once before). It was at a friends house and I was blown away by how interactive and detailed it was compared to what I’d seen before. Those trip mines! Still has a huge place in my heart!

GOTY Awards recently have been thoroughly deserved. Astro Bot is absolutely pure joy. The soundtrack is incredible too. Donkey Kong Bananza was great but such a step down after this.

We used to have that in Quake 2, I had Darth Vader kill Bart Simpson - for free - and they took that from us.

Using spaghetti to make a Super Combo Finish.

Can we just give all the franchise rights to Machine Games?

Goodbye, Mickey! Sending him off to America today to find a new home. Fingers crossed the glass survives and that he’s actually allowed through customs #sega

Yikes 💰💰💰. Best wireless solution for the DC remains the BlueRetro adapter. Despite an annoying interface, it does work with almost anything. Pair it with an 8bitdo Arcade Stick, Xbox pad, Ultimate 2C… 8bitdo are bound to do their own adapter one day, until then I feel this is the best option.

I’m a Wednesday fan. Everything is meaningless.

Dreadful football game, but a magazine cover, main feature of the demo disc, feature article and 8/10 review in the official PlayStation magazine? Someone definitely received a stuffed envelope in an alleyway for this one.

The final day

I can’t see that image and not get a weird visceral reaction to it anymore…

Xmas Lemmings (1991)

Always something I read about in Mean Machines but didn’t understand how it all worked so sort of pretended it wasn’t a thing. Your dad did you proud!

Starting with the JPN versions? Excellent pedigree.

It’s the sound of someone who has just got one of those new ‘keyboards’ and is trying all the settings and hitting random keys.

Merry Christmas everyone! May your retro game gifts be blessed with boxes that have crisp corners, a registration card and a mini publishers catalogue. And don’t forget to solder in a new battery before you get started! 🎄🎄🎄
