Well, this is neat. Someone made a Nintendo Virtual Boy system to work on the TV with a 3D printed shell, with a crisp RGB display with the ability to change color palette, and not have the power adapter attached to the controller. #retrogaming #nintendo #virtualboy #atlus #jackbros

This screenshot from "Phantasy Star" (1987) is something I am sure a lot of us have been thinking lately. #based #retrogaming #sega #mastersustem #8bit #phantasystar #rpg

"MiniMoni. Shakatto Tambourine! Dapyon!" (2002) by Sega is the only PS1 game they DEVELOPED for the system. It uses a motion-control tambourine controller by Sammy much like "Samba de Amigo" (1999) and never left Japan. It recently got translated as well! #retrogaming #playsation #ps1 #sega

Did you know that in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1990) for the NES, you were supposed to play as Freddy? It's no wonder this didn't get released, as Nintendo was very anti-violence back in the day. Might have been a better game than what we got. #retrogaming #nes #nintendo #8bit #LJN

When you say 'beat em up' of course Konami and Capcom come to mind, but don't sleep on Taito's arcade game "Growl"/"Runark" (1990) where you punch poachers in the face and use bazookas. The animals will also sometimes help you in the violence. SHBOOM! #retrogaming #arcade #taito #beatemup

Forget the Saturn (but don't because it was awesome), or the Dreamcast (seriously, don't), if anything is to blame for the fall of Sega home consoles it's the 32X. What a load of shit that thing was. The CD was so much better. #retrogaming #sega #megadrive #32x #rad_retro_ad

How good (and unexpected) was Capcom's "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" (1993) arcade game? Then again, it was a Capcom beat 'em up, so you know it's going to be awesome. If you have not seen the cartoon or read the original "Xenozoic Tales", do so. #retrogaming #arcade #beatemup #cadillacsanddinosaurs

Rolex? Never heard of her. #retrogaming #nintendo #toys #retrotech

On this day in 1992 "Super Adventure Island"/"Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken Jima" was released for the SNES/SFC by Hudson. More or less an upgrade of the 8-bit "Adventure Island" it featured a banger soundtrack by legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro. #retrogaming #snes #nintendo #supernes #hudson

This #rad_retro_ad lives rent-free in my head. #retrogaming #nes #nintendo #metalgear #colonelwhatsarussiangunshipdoinghere #konami #8bit

The fact that we only got a Russian bootleg Genesis game based on "Adventures of the Gummi Bears" is basically criminal, especially in a world where "Mickey Mouscapade" exists. #retrogaming #sega #megadrive #bootleg #disney #16bit

"BASED ON A TRUE STORY!" Yeah, if you wrote it while smoking crack. I remember being absolutely captivated by this ad as a kid, only years later I found out the game is GARBAGE. An RPG, vertical shooter, and fighting game that got it all wrong. #retrogaming #sega #segacd #rad_retro_ad #rpg

"Attack Animal Gakuen" (1987), translated as "Attack Animal Academy" is a Famicom "Space Harrier" clone and is personally one of my favorites. I love how our hero Nokko changes clothing at every level. Just one girl rescuing another killing ALL the animals. #retrogaming #famicom #nes #shmups #8bit

"Roger Rabbit" (1989) for the Famicom Disk System is another Kemko Disney game that got reskinned when it came to the U.S. as "The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle". Not that this game was any good but I argue it's better than the one we got. #retrogaming #nes #nintendo #famicom #8bit #fds

From Kemco/Seika, "Donald Duck" (1988) for the Famicom would later be reskinned as "Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular" (1989) due to licensing issues. Capcom was the one to handle Disney games at the time in the U.S. #retrogaming #nes #famicom #nintendo #8bit #disney

#nintendo really tried to market anything. Was this ever really a problem? Were people lending out so many games at one time like a Blockbuster that they needed to keep track? #retrogaming #8bit #nes

Forget the "Final Fantasy VII" remake, this is what we really want. #retrogaming #sonyplaystation #playstation #ps1 #square #parasiteeve

If you like your SHMUPs more like "Space Harrier" but still want pixelated boobs, might I suggest "Ai no Omochashi: Space Gigolo - Red Cobra" (1995) by Illusion on the PC-98? Actually, I won't. It's pretty clunky. #retrogaming #eroge #hentai #pc98 #shmups

When posting about "Battle Mania" earlier, you can't forget the clear inspiration behind it: "Dirty Pair". And goddamn the Adam Warren run went hard. #manga #comics #anime #dirtypair #90s #darkhorsecomics

You only get to play one this weekend, which are you choosing? #retrogaming #nes #nintendo #8bit #rescuerangers #ducktales #darkwingduck #littlemermaid #disney

Listen, if you want to make a "Star Fox" clone you have to cater to a specific audience. READ: make those animals fuckable. You can't have "FUR" in your title and not cater to furries. Throw in a Krystal-like character and you will PRINT money.

"Bulk Slash" (1997) for the Sega Saturn is a third-person action mecha game. On every stage, a female navigator can be recruited and each one provides their own special abilities. Japan-only but has been translated, including a voice patch! #retrogaming #mecha #anime #sega #segasaturn #jpgames

I have a strange obsession with "Steam-Heart's" (1994) for the PC-98 (also available on the PC Engine CD and Sega Saturn). I am sure you can figure out why. #retrogaming #shmups #eroge #hentai #pc98 #sega #pcengine #segasaturn

All these Vic Tokai posts and I didn't even mention one of their best in "Clash at Demonhead"/"Dengeki - Big Bang!" (1989) for the NES. If any game needs a modern remake it's this one. Vic Tokai still exists, so someone's got to be able to license it. #retrogaming #nes #nintendo #famicom #8bit

I guess I would be remiss if I didn't post the American version of the box art for "Battle Mania"/"Trouble Shooter". Just... oof. Even Mega Man would cringe. #retrogaming #shmups #sega #megadrive #genesis #16bit

More "Battle Mania" official images of Maria and Mania, Vic Tokai's version of "Dirty Pair". #retrogaming #shmups #sega #megadrive #genesis #16bit

Did you know in 1990 the Famicom got a port of the Sega game "Altered Beast"/"Jyuuooki" by Asmik? It kind of plays like shit but Asmik added three new levels, with three new beast forms (a lion, a shark, and a phoenix), along with some new bosses. #retrogaming #nes #famicom #sega #nintendo

Speaking of "sexy" ads, how about one that promoted sexual assault... for a tennis game? Yes, this exists and I wrote about it here: www.facebook.com/retrocatadve... #rad_retro_ad #retrogaming #sega #megadrive #tennis

You absolutely know someone jerked off to this ad. #rad_retro_ad #retrogaming #ps1 #playstation #polygons

"I play on a Jet Fighter, do you play on a Jet Fighter?" Despite how clunky this thing looks, it's kinda rad. It was a Genesis controller first with an adapter for it to work on SNES. Oh, and it had stickers... so, neat? Released by Beeshu in 1993. #retrogaming #snes #genesis #16bit #shmups

"Sonic the Fighters"/"Sonic Championship" (1996) by Sega AM2 is one of those fighting games people rarely talk about. Granted, at the end of the day it's a simplified version of "Virtua Fighter" with Sonic characters but still a bit of fun. #sega #sonic #fightinggame #arcade #retrogaming

Two of the best SHMUPs on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive on a system of absolute bangers. "Trouble Shooter"/"Battle Mania" (1991) and "Battle Mania Daiginjou" (1993) by Vic Tokai. #retrogaming #sega #segagenesis #shmup #16bit

Considered too spicy for FB standards, the first issue cover to the Brazilian "Novas Aventuras de Megaman" ("New Adventures of Megaman"). You can read about that here: www.facebook.com/share/p/15bB...
