Now if I'm adding this to my list of unfinished games would I just put UFO 50 or the 50 games contained within?

I have been waiting for a Switch port of UFO 50, so I guess I've run out of excuses now.

I only found out about this recently, but Mea Man (no typo) Battle Network 2 might be the most alaxy-brained romhack of all time

It removes all instances of the letter G from the game, for improved ameplay. This has chaotic effects on vast swathes of Battle Network 2

I do intend to put up a piece of writing about it, but I've underestimated how much time I'll end up spending on this.

I'm almost at the halfway point after about 32 hours of playing.

For the past few weeks I've been playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

After being disappointed from going back to a few other Bioware games earlier in the year, I'm surprised that I've been having a good time with this one.

Crude drawing of a scratched up human hand and a cat’s paw with two claws trimmed. Text reads “my hands look like this so his can look like this”

It's one that I didn't gel with as much last time I played it, but watching through this has definitely made me appreciate much more to the point where I thought I might've been unfair to it.

Dungeon Delving in Ultima Underworld I’ve accidentally put together a syllabus for myself lately with the games I’m playing. What started as a modest desire to replay the Thief series went widely off the rails as my ongoing thoughts...

I've been playing many dungeon games and I want to talk about them!

mooost games (like 96% of them?) are about how players negotiate with the world around them. Ultima Underworld is EXTREMELY about that. Does that make it the MOST GAME ever? let's explore...

new ggp! thank you to @ghostgirlmusic.bsky.social for joining me to talk about Suzume while new Gundam Wing content brings a raucous segment 1, full of surprises...

It felt that way because the UK release was delayed almost a year for some reason, compounded by being one of the only PS3 games with a region lock so nobody imported it

July 27th Welcome back readers. We’ve got a big issue for you this week. If you appreciate our weekly/monthly/annual work keeping abreast of important and interesting critical games writing, give our P…

A factor of mostly playing older stuff is that I end up having a "wow graphics moment" any time I play something new just because it looks so much fancier.

As a kid though it was Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, felt like I was playing the show.

Elite – “The Universe will open up before you” The Universe, as has been observed before, is an unsettlingly big place, a fact which, for the sake of a quiet life, most people tend to ignore. […] Which is why the Total Perspective Vortex …

New post, and it's a big one.

Elite, the Total Perspective Vortex, and how government interventions helped it along the way to becoming a template for individualistic open world games:

I have been playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I've been having some fun with the photo mode.

This is the best boxart

This list is peppered with dating sims and adjacent games. Not Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Suikoden, Ogre Battle, or Radiant Silvergun. Can we please stop pretending these games are too obscure to bother with? That they're not part of gaming history's or the general retro conversation?

If you missed it, I put up a new blog post yesterday!

Fantastic game, love how it put a different structure on the traditional console RPG.

The only one of these sandbox-ish first person stealth games I've actually finished (I've struggled with Thief and Deus Ex in the past). I had a lot of fun experimenting with what I could do.

Only played the first 3 but I do love them. I'm definitely the sort of person who would quote lines from them.
