This Week in Gaming posted these awesome images over on Facebook. Look at all those boxed consoles! I miss these kinds of stores so much. Now it's mostly Funco Pops and figures.

Heads up! When I acquired the rights to the Digital Pictures game library, @tylerhogle.bsky.social and I found the unreleased SEGA Saturn version of Prize Fighter Heavyweight Edition. It's now been preserved online and can be downloaded for free at archive.org/details/priz...

Promo image for Sega-16's review of Detonator Orgun for Mega CD.

Detonator Orgun tried to adapt its namesake's weird story to game form, but it fell flat due to a lack of any real action and subpar presentation. It's not a horrible adaptation, but there are better anime-based digital novels out there to play.

We're approaching our new Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game GO FOR IT like it's a lost great fighting game from the '90s:

- 2 unique versions of the game, with different engines
- 29 (!) game trailers
- INSANE art book. Comic book. Figurines.
- No generative AI

Promise to give you our very best!

Not only is Transformers: War for Cybertron a phenomenal game, but it also still looks amazing. This is a 16-year-old PS3 game! I love it and the sequel, Fall of Cyberton. Great Transformers combat, excellent presentation, and Peter Cullen as Optimus - what more could you ask for?

The new Resident Evil game has this awesome little Easter egg. If you have to be in a city when an evil corporation nukes it to keep its zombie virus from spreading, you might as well be playing Saturn.

Remember when this image was circulated of 3D dungeons in a supposed Sega CD sequel to Phantasy Star IV called Return of Alis? Reportedly, they were scrapped due to memory limitations and lagging console sales. True or not, think of what could have been!

This is a major problem with retro gaming. A lot of people seems to confuse nostalgia with history and run on vibes. It's why you see so many "content creators" talking about gaming history at conventions and woefully few historians. :(

That's a goldmine right there! That Landstalker guide isn't online anywhere. I believe it came with an issue of Mega Drive Fan (Nov. 1992, I believe).

Damn, they had some real talent on that team. Xenocider was really fun, and Sovietborgs had potential.

Another example of how developers squeeze every ounce out of a machine when they want to. Team Andromeda made the Saturn sing, and the remake, with all the power in the world, looks terrible in comparison. The Saturn version looks leagues better and seems to play better, too.
