Sequel keeps the theme going strong. 🫡

The game is only okay, but this Japanese print ad goes in hard - Top Gun the anime.

Street Fighter II: SCE (Pyron remaster) on Mega Drive.

Oh I’ve been into that. 🫡

Arcades in laundrettes, video shops and newsagents, man. Some truly great times.

We couldn't afford a SFC/SNES as kids, so we only played SF II on an arcade machine at the laundrette. There, we made friends, forged rivalries and learned new tech. I'll always play a new SF game; my oldest brother and I play 6, still as sharp as ever, both approaching 50. Gief v Guile. 35 years.

A few MOAR bits and bobs. 👀

I think disturbing is a good way to describe a lot of OOT actually. I do remember it surprising a lot of people at the time.

Man, I’d totally forgotten about guillotine alley. 😮‍💨

A bag of Union Timana coffee.

Cracking open a new coffee too. 👀

Pepperoni pizza.

Boom! 💥

Oh man, this place is definitely worth the drive, the pizzas are outrageous. Plus, there’s a nice wharf over the road where you can have a drink, really nice in the summer.

Good old Purely Pizza up in Burscough, got a cheeky 25% off code earlier. Maybe a little peek in Booths before getting home for the game too…👀
