Good memories of watching my housemate playing it. Mid boss!

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War Turns Helldivers 2 into a Retro, PS2-Era FPS Complete with FMVs

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War has been announced as a single-player first-person shooter set in the Starship Troopers universe. The game, featuring FMV cutscenes with General Johnny Rico voiced by Casper Van Dien, aims to evoke a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic PS2 titles.

Sounds like my kind of appointment. Have a good one!

Feeling old....

Spent so many hours on UT. Loved the game modes.

Absolutely adorable!

Classic game but often eclipsed by the others in the series.

Love the one of the Great Fox!

Nicely summed up!

Dick Tracy on the Mega Drive delivers bold comic book action and tough run and gun stages. A stylish slice of early 90s Sega nostalgia.

Don't be too hard on yourself! Sounds like you've actually had a productive time! Don't forget self care too.

Sonic 2 (Mega Drive) still nails speed, style, and pure platforming fun. Tails, loops, Chemical Plant Zone, and the Death Egg make it a 90s classic worth revisiting.

Wasn't it just? I loved some of the "effects" the volume one got me.

I've got particularly fond memories of Tales of Symphonia, watching my housemate play it.

Mario sunshine, it doesn't matter if it's controversial, what matters is what it means to you. I've loved many a game that were frowned upon by the critics!

In honour of the 24th Anniversary of the GameCube NA release. What's your favourite GameCube games?

For me it was Eternal Darkness. Something so unique and different that I had not seen before.

Happy 24th Anniversary To The GameCube That Was First Released On This Date November 18th 2001 In North America

Good luck! You got this!

Also on today’s date in 2001, “Luigi‘s Mansion” releases for the Nintendo GameCube.

Luigi won… IN A CONTEST!? It’s up to Luigi to use Professor E. Gadd’s Poltergust 3000 to vacuum all sorts of ghosts throughout the ugly mansion and save Mario from King Boo!

🌟 Debut of Professor E. Gadd & King Boo.

Great set of games to start off with. What was your all time favourite on the GameCube? I was a fan of Eternal Darkness personally.

Enjoy you're in for a treat!

What a fantastic summary, you have a wonderful way of writing!

Mega Man X was released in late 1993 for the Super Famiocom, later being released worldwide in 1994, and marked the first of many spinoff/sequel series for the franchise.

Despite what many people called it at the time, this is called Mega Man "X" as in the letter, not the Roman numeral 10.

Always Red on the Gameboy for me. The first one I ever played. Even went to a Nintendo Event at a shopping Centre to get Mew.

I almost missed out on this! Happy 25th anniversary today, November 13th, to Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast)! Loved the GameCube port and was thankful to be able to play it since I never had a Dreamcast (a gaming regret to this day)!
