Dipped back into the original Grand Theft Auto from 1997. Sort of different and sort of the same :-)

Very impressed how slickly Super Meat Boy 3D makes the transition from 2D. Enjoyed the demo a lot.

Donkey Kong Country still plays nicely. Today feels like a nostalgia day...

Nubby's Number Factory successfully scratches all those nice roguelike itches. In a very 90s way.

The Forgotten City - Official Trailer | Summer of Gaming 2020 YouTube video by IGN

The Forgotten City is an underappreciated gem if you’re into time-loop gimmicks youtu.be/XNTCb8N8yz4?...

Also, moral dilemmas being explored in depth. The Golden Rule stuff hanging over it all makes for an effective, sinister atmosphere

Slay The Princess by @blacktabbygames.com somehow lives up to the huge hype. Excellent writing, choice making, branching paths and longevity.

@flebpuzzles.bsky.social hey, I just saw your like from before (thank you :-) ). Just wanted to say I've loved your games - very difficult to make a really distinct and excellent game these days and I feel like you nailed it, so fair play to you :-)

Strange Jigsaws and 20 Small Mazes - by @flebpuzzles.bsky.social - both really hit the button in your brain that makes you feel very clever (& occasionally daft, until then :-) )

There’s an excellent pace of fresh twists & ideas to keep up with. Proper, clever, escalating puzzle design #PuzzleGames

@mrgan.com hi, I just saw your like (always appreciated :-) ). I wanted to use it as a chance to say I really lovedl Grayout and Blackbar :-)

I'm working out how to best make vids on mobile games / games-with-reading. Grayout and Blackbar will end up in both. Proper mobile classics, in my opinion.

Possibly the g.o.a.t. Metroidvania. Super-rated and yet still underrated.

I got good at this on the Amstrad when I was a kid. Tried it emulated recently, basically impossible :-)
