Hullo howdy again, my latest @hg101.bsky.social article is now up for everyone to read. Continuing the mascot platformer theme I've been mucking round with, it looks at MicroProse UK's decent though frustrating Tinhead for the Mega Drive (and technically SNES). www.hardcoregaming101.net/tinhead/

6.) Sympathizing with Eric W. Schwartz’s “Plight of The Artist” - by @frdougal9000.bsky.social Very neat write-up on a vintage furry animation and how the creative process can be grueling at times. I'm currently feeling the same way as Dougal right now. cartoonmilk.com/plight-of-th...

Hey howdy, I wrote a cartoon blog for the first time in a while. Just a short thing talking about one of Eric. W Schwartz's furry amiga animations from the 90s, and how it resonated with me a bunch cartoonmilk.com/plight-of-th...

Hello, Big Mac.

@shoogles.bsky.social hey howdy, I ended up playing through the original Legend of Zelda during the week and managed to beat it for the first time after nearly 20 years! it wouldn't have been on my mind if not for your excellent vid, so I just wanted to let you know and thank you for that vid! : )

Hey howdy! It's the weekend, so why not relax with my latest @hg101.bsky.social article? It looks at the educational SNES sidescroller Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus, an okay game that teaches players about asthma via the medium of asthmatic dinosaurs! Really! www.hardcoregaming101.net/bronkie-the-...

Hey howdy, it's Bandcamp Friday so I might as well promote my music page. If there's anything there you like the sound of, maybe throw me a couple euros. (It's all free anyway, so no worries) I'd happily recommend the albums FISH MUSIC, To You (Part 1?), and Doodles jimsjams.bandcamp.com

Ever played Aladdin on the Genesis but wish it had cartoon pigs and was mediocre? Look no further, because I've got a @hg101.bsky.social article up today talking about Radical Entertainment's late SNES platformer Power Piggs of the Dark Age! www.hardcoregaming101.net/power-piggs-...

what the... I sat down to write a lil review for Earth Defence Force 2's Japan-only Switch port, and I somehow ended up writing over a thousand words on the thing. TL;DR - it's EDF, it's good times, but maybe there's too much here. Genuinely baffled I wrote so much... backloggd.com/u/FrDougal90...

Howdy folks, my first @hg101.bsky.social article in a while is now available to read! It looks into the pretty neat Japan-only Saturn platformer Willy Wombat, developed by Westone and featuring designs by Susumu Matsushita & English voice acting! www.hardcoregaming101.net/willy-wombat/

Klonoa X Kingdom Hearts #art

shout out to this fucking rad bit of Sonic fan-art by Matt Lyon, adorning the pages of Mean Machines issue 10 (July of 1991, making this one of the earliest known pieces of Sonic fan-art)

A bunch of pictures I took from the 1947 stop-motion adaptation of the Tintin book Crab with the Golden Claws (by Claude Misonne)

Howdy everyone, hope you're all doing well! I've got a new article up on @hg101.bsky.social talking about the cute puzzle platformer Rolo To The Rescue, made for the Mega Drive by British dev Vectordean (of James Pond fame)!

good morning! watch my new video if you havent yet

365 Days of Tunes - 263/365: In Chuck Jones’ THE DUCKSTERS (’50), Porky is the luckless contestant on a radio quiz show run by Daffy Duck. Daffy’s zaniness as a game show host ventures into cruel territory as he punishes Porky throughout the short.

Check out our discussion of Rolling Thunder! Also on this episode, my fellow #HG101 hosts talk about Pokémon Puzzle League! #podcast #RollingThunder #Pokemon sites.libsyn.com/240854/rolli...

Hullo howdy, I posted a blog today talking about the Ace Attorney anime. It mainly digs into how the show took a very game-specific thing and made it work in the context of a TV programme. I hope it'll be interesting to read: cartoonmilk.com/ace-attorney...

Howdy folks, it's been a while! One of my @hg101.bsky.social articles got posted on the site today, looking at the solid point-and-click adventure revival Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse by @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social! It's pretty good! www.hardcoregaming101.net/broken-sword...

oh my giddy aunt i've done it. i've written a blog about animation for the first time in months, and put it on the internet!!! i talk about a trio of cool animated films that i've seen this year in a casual manner, i hope this is a fun chill article to read! : ) cartoonmilk.com/three-mini-r...

@fabraz.bsky.social hullo, just wanted to ask a daft question about Bubsy 4D. Will there be an option to manually change the colours for his shirt and tie? (Not counting the options for different shirt patterns in the costume menu) I really dig the new design & I'm looking forward to playing it : )

Kinda thinking I might step back from blusky, unless I got something of mine I wanna promote. Lot of stuff be going on, and even as I mute loads of words, I still catch glimpses of stuff I can't do anything about and only serves to unsettle me. So I think distance might be good for me.

We never get around to posting any western RPGs, well this snow saturday we finally did it. Here we have the western RPG Wild Arms which features falling snow in the outside areas of Mount Zenom. Wild Arms (Playstation, 1996)

#dearmeiwas #Dearme_iwas

finally finished this! #fanart, #ryuhayabusa, #ninjagaiden, #spinesart

watching a bit of Jem and the Holograms, and this rando poster in the corner reminded me of the Ys 1 title screen lol

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched oh cock i'm a bit late with this. lotta animal comedy cartoons this week, with the excellent T&J Trap Happy and the very rubbish Mansion Cat. glad that FIXED got to come out, even if i didn't jive with it all that much, and Technological Threat's a good time.

Started Lufia II last night and, man, what a good game. I really love the combo of Zelda-esque puzzle dungeons and more typical console RPG combat and world exploration. On-map enemies that move when you move and don't appear too frequently is great for keeping encounter fatigue at bay, too.

Business.....

Had to cut stream early due to cats pulling down the barrier I had put up to keep them out of the 240p setup :(

Boosting this in hopes that somebody can help my boy @shoogles.bsky.social!

thank you internet for reminding me of this, the tom and jerry short "trap happy" completely rescored with metal slug music and sound effects www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQBa...

I DID IT! I FINISHED THE SCRIPT FOR MY NEXT VIDEO god damn yall, its a big one! im gonna take a few days to rest, n then ill do VO, and then edit n stuff, n then hopefully video done b4 the end of the month also here look at this guy. mr labubu skibidi dubai chocolate matcha acai himself

my favourite 80s clint eastwood film, dirty harry and the hendersons

⚠️IMPORTANT PSA⚠️ Opa-Opa is the one WITHOUT arms TwinBee is the one WITH arms

Why does this short cut-away joke in King of the Hill have such a beautiful little song under it? The episode was scored by Chuck Mangione, who was (RIP) quite famously a trumpet player. Did he also compose this sweet little electric piano tune?

I just beat Revenge of Shinobi for the first time on MiSTer and got the good ending on my first try. This game really pushed my action game skills to the limit. Thank you to @x-pert74.bsky.social for introducing me to this lovely game!

New on the Ponett Gazette: To coincide with its recent Switch port, I've finally finished my ginormous piece on UFO 50, my favorite game of 2024! Come learn about my 14 favorite games in the anthology and how some of them have forever changed how I engage with retro games ponett.dog/blog/my-14-f...

Metal Gear Solid if it really took place in 2005

I just realized that Quake is the Wario Land of first-person shooters. All the games "generally" play the same, but they have such different tonal and structural priorities that each one scratches a super specific itch.

I made a bunch of music, it's like weird electronic and guitar stuff with a bunch of samples and dumb noises. I've been told some of it feels kind of video gamey and some is more ambient Brian Eno-esque. you can find it on my bandcamp (aaron-long.bandcamp.com) or on my youtube.

Longer gameplays from Ruwaga: Elevator Action Real: youtu.be/FqJHiSYku9E?... Elevator Action Real 2: youtu.be/msQ3Yc0PTdE?...

Did you know that Elevator Action received two FPS games on keitai? Released in 2005, Elevator Action Real was a 3D conversion of the original arcade game. Its sequel, Elevator Action Real 2, has you play as a ghost hunter! Both games remain lost to time. Longer gameplays below!

Everyone thought his name was Din Djarin, but it was actually Ian. Mandalore Ian

It's surreal to think I'm actually here. Battle of Gods didn't even exist when I started making Dragon Ball Dissection videos. And now I'm finally here, in "modern" Dragon Ball. Does the movie still hold up? It's time for an extremely deep dive. youtu.be/gQGXEgbGTK0

(1/8) It's time for another English translation patch release for the FM Towns! This time, it's Queen Soft's "Gambler: Queens Cup", part graphic adventure romance sim, part horse betting sim (yes, you read that correctly). github.com/DerekPascare...

A happy Sponge (plus one) to brighten up your day! #spongebob #spongebobsquarepants #garythesnail
