This weekend we're celebrating 10 years since we adopted our little Binx! She's the boss of our household. A few months ago, she started developing neurological issues and isn't getting around as well. She's on meds, but mostly we're just keeping her happy and enjoying what time we have left 🐰

I haven't posted about Prismidia lately, so I just wanted to say it's going well. My day job has been busy, and this is going to be a long project for us. But we're making progress every week!

The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!

I've been checking out Gun Frontier, a pretty cool shmup for 1990. The Saturn port has an Easy difficulty, which made it a fun way to grab a casual 1CC

We announced our game last week, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love! 💙 Also, I promise this account won't be 100% self promotion. I'll share what we're working on, but also other geeky things I'm into. Our 2nd account,
@chaindamagegames.bsky.social

I've been trying to learn Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Maniac, but I wasn't prepared for how hard this mode is! I cleared Black Label Maniac a couple of years ago, and I thought 1.5 Maniac would be a little harder. But it's a dramatic difference! I'm having fun, but holy moly

I finished customizing my arcade stick today. It's a Mayflash F700 with Seimitsu parts and art from Gradius. It's really fun to play on this!

Got a new personal best in DoDonPachi DaiOuJou. I can see a pixel of the final boss at the top of the screen! Does that mean I made it to the final boss? The main problem is that I didn't get 50m to get another life. I'll have to work on that.

I heard there's a thing where you post a random game from your collection on Saturday. So, here's Druid for the Famicom Disk System. It's a fun little adventure reminiscent of Gauntlet.

Happy 40th birthday to Marble Madness! 🎉 I keep noticing that games I grew up with are turning 40. This year also included Pac-Land, Kung Fu, and Excitebike. Next year will be a big one with Super Mario Bros.

Today's the last day to grab Espgaluda II and DoDoPachi Resurrection on Switch before they're removed from the eshop. I recommend both! It's a shame when games like this get removed. Links:
