Pokemon Rumble Hitmonlee is a perfect creature

Final Zone was the third attempt (and Wolf Team's second) at making a quality action game in the series of the same name, and while this 1990 Genesis release has its quirks and issues, it also has a deep weapons system, a Motoi Sakuraba soundtrack, and you piloting a mech.

New blog post time! This week's game is Viral Survival, a game that takes the Snake formula and twists it into five different modes, all of which offer something cool and interesting mechanically. Don't let the name scare you, this is a fun time with some pretty great aesthetic choices on offer!

Pokemon Emerald helped me build community and make friends, and I can never thank it enough. #blog #gaming #pokemon

I wanna eat the pink Hudson Soft Bee chocolate so bad

Have you ever wanted to listen to me talk about late period REM and the brief period in 2008-2009 when we all believed that Obama had defeated neoconservatism forever for almost two hours? I am extremely pleased to let you know that your alarmingly specific wishes have been granted.

Haven't done #RandomGameSaturday in a minute, so here's The Kore Gang: Outvasion from Inner Earth, a game with a look and name that still doesn't feel like a real game to me. Seriously, this just ended up in my possession one day and I don't remember how nor do I know anything about the game itself

i am fucking losing it

got to revisit parappa 2 this year (including some VS matches!) and it's pushed it to the gitaroo man/space channel 5 pt 2 tier for me... one of the densest, most off-kilter rhythm games of its era. the music is such a step above the original and lammy that it's hard to compare... full review below!

The Ephemeral Enigmas blog is a treat this awful world doesn’t deserve. Every week, without fail, he covers a different retro game (more often as not one even a hardened rom torrenting pervert like me is unfamiliar with) comprehensively and with breathless enthusiasm. Just a tremendous backlog.

New blog post time! This week's game is Danan: The Jungle Fighter, a Master System action game about a big man with a very tiny knife. There are very light RPG elements and quite a bit of storytelling that give it a uniquely strange identity. A fun one for sure if you love a bit of jank!

The PS5 menu text for the Fatal Frame II remake just says "WISHLIST NOW" even after you've installed it lol

I'm enjoying how many cards in this game just have a description like "I dunno man, it has high attack" I've also learned that their definition of high attack is both inconsistent and very different from mine

Who else is up getting their Griggle on

New blog post time! This week's game is Ishido: The Way of Stones, a puzzle game about fitting stones into a board that's way more challenging and nuanced than it may appear at first. The strict scoring rules make this a real "learn or die" kinda ride. If you like Shanghai, this one's for you!

This week: 21 fresh picks on Requiem, Rare, Radirgy, and plenty of things that don't start with R, I promise: critical-distance.com/2026/03/08/m...

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II, there's a very low chance that Para or Dox will summon a Gate Guardian at no cost, which is way too powerful for how early this is. However, this is the first game to use the alignment system, so you can instantly defeat it with any light type since it's a fiend type

Astonishingly powerful turtle fit

Am I too late to the 9 games thing

It's been an extremely good few months for fans of Milestone/RS34 games.

Now that it's out, it may not surprise you to know that I was part of the team to localise this game, just like with Karous! I was on FIRE when translating some of the lines here - hope you enjoy the new English version! store.steampowered.com/app/3179820/... #RadirgySwag

New blog post time! This week's game is Radirgy de Gojaru!, the bite-sized Japan-only 3DS entry that's based on a mode from the Xbox 360-exclusive Radirgy Noa Massive. Such an odd approach didn't earn it any favors at the time, but I found some fun in visiting it now and laying out all the details:

In Tengai Makyou: Ziria, you get a large EXP bonus when you're given the Sword of the Divine. If you decide to drop the sword, you can talk to the spirit that gave it to you to get another one as well as the same experience bonus again. This can be done for infinite experience, which is very funny

If you bring the Blood Sword over to Final Fantasy II's Soul of Rebirth via Ricard, you can easily steamroll the enemies and bosses in a few hits at most Grind up your evasion levels in advance as well and you can really turn this scenario into a joke! One of many examples of what makes FF2 peak

I'm not usually a guy who uses the starters honestly, but I'm a big fan of Gecqua so far, that's a good gecko

You call yourself a Lone Wolf but you fight in a group? Curious! I am very intelligent.

I just found this. Maybe it can be helpful.

Tonight's Mega Drive review is for Twin Hawk. pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/02/sega... Sega gave the obscure Toaplan shmup a solid port. #retrogaming #genesis

I reviewed the revamped RPG WizMan's World, known now as WizMan's World Re;Try. The monster fusions at the heart of the game's battle system and strategy are a good time, the revamped soundtrack is full of quality riffs, and it all works out to a perfectly cromulent RPG experience.

New blog post time! This week's game is Botanic, a Pac-Man-style maze game that has you playing as a caterpillar eating leaves instead of dots across three screens. There are a lot of interesting little ideas on offer here and while there may not be a ton to chew on, I think this game's kinda neat!
