The attract loop for Amok, a Sega Saturn mech blast 'em up from 1996.

Developed by Lemon, published by Scavenger, and with music by Jesper Kyd.

This is a pretty damn cool game that uses voxels for its graphics rather than polygons, giving it a look that I more associate with Novalogic sims.

Forgot about Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. That's what happens when you suddenly decide to make a post like this at 2:00 in the morning.

Games I Beat in 2025 (so far):
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Sonic Adventure
Red Faction
Star Fox 64
Burnout 2
Ratchet & Clank
Super Mario 64
Super Mario World
Spyro The Dragon
Need For Speed Underground 2
Crimson Skies High Road To Revenge
Ocarina of Time
Mega Man 8

Probably forgot a couple.

21 years ago today, Godzilla: Save the Earth was released on the Xbox in NA. It was developed by Pipeworks Software and published by Atari.

at one point I contemplated doing one of those "console challenges" where you play every game for a given console and decided to research the PS1 library.

I have come to the conclusion I would've needed to have started about 10 years ago to have had any real shot at completing it before I died.

I could probably just play PS1 games for the rest of my life and not get sick of them.

this is essentially what my gaming future will be. i have most of the dreamcast library to play, the DS library, ps1 library… etc etc.

some of the best games ever made ive never played before, so im happy to do that instead of destroy an ocean for tech bro satan

"Don't let anyone catch you with this," is a real thing someone told me when they slid a physical copy of the retail release of Duke Nukem Forever into my bag on the literal fucking show floor of E3. I had to calmly walk it out to my hotel room. It was the most cyberpunk shit and felt amazing.

People really underestimate just how many of us have backlogs of games that will last us more than our whole lifetimes, so even IF GenAI fully takes over the industry, we'll still have plenty to play.

Shit, I could stop buying new video games RIGHT NOW and be none the worse for wear.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Here ya go!

the way nintendo gets about women in their games is so funny in how, like, specific the way they are. it's not an outright loathing, it's like having to watch a 70s action super team anime do the extremely out of touch focus episode on the one lady in the cast. and kept doing that episode into 2025

It’s all coming together

Post a gaming picture that gives you video game anxiety.

I was a huge Shadow fanboy when I was younger. I was the perfect age for that dark, brooding, emo hedgehog to be appealing to me, and I was actually excited for this game.

Then it landed with a resounding THUD and I never played it.

I remember being a huge Shadow Stan back in the day. I was the perfect age for this dark, brooding, emo hedgehog and was actually excited that he got his own game.

Then it came out and landed with a resounding THUD, and I never bought it. Still haven't played it either. #retrogaming #sonic #shadow

An N64 pad with a bio-organic tech vibe. Been fascinated with the shape of this one ever since I shared an ad for N64 pads, and neat to have one for our N64.

Metroid is a fascinating study of fandoms vs shifting official presentation, clashing visions of what and who a character is, and also of a franchise that is way more popular overseas than it is in its home country.

Metroid Prime 4 Reveals A Chatty NPC Problem The long-awaited Switch sequel is full of new characters

Okay, I honestly wasn't that hyped for Prime 4, but this might make me "Nope" out.

This shit isn't Metroid.

This. All my old favorites still work, and when they stop working, I'll always have emulation.

Mega Man X.

Name a Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis game.

Mega Man X.

1st Star Fox 64 hard route run complete. Narrowly missed the medals for Aquas, Zoness & Sector Z. Need more practice. Still, showed myself that I *can* beat this route.

I just don't have the skill yet to pull off a true Buster Only run. Still, always fun to come back to Mega Man X. Great game, one of the best for the SNES. #retrogaming #retro #megamanx #snes #gaming

Actually attempted to go Buster Only in Mega Man X. Managed to score wins on Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, Launch Octopus, and Boomer Kuwanger, but couldn't do it with Armored Armadillo or Spark Mandril, and Sting Chameleon annihilated me. #retrogaming #retro #megamanx #snes #gaming
