Now Playing - Augusti 2018

Super Mario Bros. 2 (Entertainment System)

Tearaway (PlayStation Vita)

Sonic The Hedgehog (as part of SEGA 3D Classics on 3DS)

CarmaGeddoN (PlayStation)
The classic CarmaGeddoN, PSX version, awesome.

Super Mario Bros. (Entertainment System)

Wario's Woods (Entertainment System)
A puzzle game where you play as Toad. Bombs drop from above and you have to combine them with creatures to clear the area before the ceiling lowers down and crushes you. It's pretty good, sure beats a lot of other similar puzzle games from back then.

Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo)
The Entertainment System game of the same name with a Super Mario Allstars makeover.

Sudoku portable LCD game

Sudoku
just regular Sudoku on paper

Bomb Jack (SG-1000)
Perhaps not the best version of Bomb Jack ever, but a good and enjoyable one for sure.

CastleVania Legends (Game Boy)
I love this game, it's very tough but also very enjoyable. Sonia is best Belmont origin canon.

Rubik's Cube
trained and learned how to solve one in real life, my fastest time solving a cube from scrambled to all sides complete as of this post is 2m21s

Rubik's Puzzle World (DS, played on 3DS)
After having learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube in real life on an actual cube I was able to solve it in this game with a time of 4:45, which is twice as long than I can do it in real life (fastest time as of typing this in 2:21) but it's far less intuitive and much clunkier with the low res and highly inaccurate touch screen control of a DS/3DS, so I still think it's a very good time for someone who just learned how to do it.

Auto Racing (Intellivision)
just playing some awesome Intellivision games again

BurgerTime! (Intellivision)

Centipede (Intellivision)

Defender (Intellivision)

Pac-Man (Intellivision)

Popeye (Intellivision)

Q*bert (Intellivision)

Scooby Doo's Maze Chase (Intellivision)
this was a new one for me, another good maze game (aka "Pac-Man clone"), very typical for the time

Nightlong Union City Conspiracy (PC)
also playing some nostalgic PC point and click games, it's not a genre I like but it has a handful games I love

The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum (PC)

The Colonel's Bequest A Laura Bow Mystery (PC)

Ninja Gaiden (Master System)

Total Drivin (PlayStation)

Super Mario Bros. 3 (Entertainment System)

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (Mega Drive)
it's been ages since I played this, I usually just play the original Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic CD or Sonic & Knuckles or the old classics, the rest I only play a bit sporadically, sometimes a lot and then not at all for long stretches of time

Samurai Showdown (Mega Drive)
another one I haven't played it ages, I think it was last in the early 2000s on PC, the MS-DOS version

Time Trax (Mega Drive, prototype rom)
an odd platformer with some slow motion time manipulation power, it's pretty good but it's only a prototype, I don't think it ever was released as a full retail version sadly, it's not bad at all and feels pretty much complete, it's far better than many games that did come out back in the day

Scooby-Doo Mystery (Mega Drive)
an awful point and click mystery solving adventure game starring Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, with the rest of the gang being absent during the game only to be part of the intros and outros of the two mysteries the game has to offer. it's slow, clunky, illogical, unintuitive and arbitrary as fuck, the only way to solve a vast majority of the "puzzles" is to try every possible combination until you randomly find the correct thing to do, except for a handful thing you do there really is no thought, logic, rhyme or reason to anything else in the entire game, you will get stuck, a lot, and it's not your fault, the game is just extremely poorly designed, it looks very nice with good level of detail, nice animation and such, and the audio is fine as well, but damn, the gameplay just brutally murders the entire experience, just play this with a guide from the beginning if you ever try it out, and save yourself the headache

Tom & Jerry Frantic Antics (Mega Drive)
holy fucknuts this game is awful, it looks bad, sounds horrible and plays worse than just about anything else ever made, it's nothing short of a travesti it got released in this condition

Steel Talons (Mega Drive)

River Raid (Intellivision)
