Had to be a Super Famicom game for #randomgamesaturday but I did close my eyes to choose.

The final piece of the Retro Game Zine 2025 ANNUAL came in… Check out the wonderful artwork by @wiloverton.bsky.social! We’ve got our mascots, Pixel and Polygon, in the center, but surrounding them is a representation of every game covered this year collected in the book. I love it!

35 years?! Say it ain't so! Banger of a launch duo, though. Time machine please.

We're chuffed to reveal the official artwork for "Return to Blacktooth", lovingly crafted by the talented @wiloverton.bsky.social More updates soon... #headoverheels #isometric #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #retrogame #amiga #atariST #NoAI #NoToAIArt #HumanArt #ArtByHumans

I've saved so many of those Frieren under the chin art exercises to my art ref folder on Pinterest that should I be foolish enough ever to be in a situation where that angle is called for I should be sorted as how to tackle it.

Trying to pump myself up for Beyond with this rather epic trawl through all that's gone before - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_l... - It linked the games for me in ways I never thought about and now I might have to start some replays.

Not even cutting out 'that's a no, that's a no, that's a no' out of the Asda Christmas Grinch ad is enough to stop it vying with the Sainsbury's BFG for my most hated Crimbo advert top spot. Although John Lewis's dad record is coming up fast on the outside.

Another banger. Japanese game TV ads just went for it back in the day.

@scarredforlife.bsky.social - Loved this week's episode with Mark Morris. I'm about the same age so it's understandable that we'd cross over but the heads in the kiln from Thriller's Won't Write Home Mom, I'm Dead is 100% one of my top scars. It stayed with me for years!

I know it's what you'd expect an old fart like myself to say (especially when all we've seen is just a couple of teenagers out in a field somewhere) but I feel I'd genuinely be up for something like this more.

I got Echoes of Wisdom last year for Crimbo but have still not played more than an hour in. I’ve never bounced off a Zelda game so hard.

Just realised that I'm coming up on 2 years since I ordered the GBA Goodboy Galaxy special edition from First Press Games with still absolutely no idea when it'll be shipped. I've asked for a refund (again) but I'm pretty sure I'll just get fobbed off again. I could get a nice SFC title with that.

I fear my forthcoming Christmas cheer may be ruined if I hear a Sainsbury's advert BFG say 'telly, telly bunkum box' one more bloody time.

Hello fellow Bskyers, I'm after a list of 16bit mascots. You know the kind of thing - Aero the Acro-Bat etc. Sometimes be hard to make the distinction between mascots and just a new main character but I'm thinking ones where you just new they were trying to come up with a new Mario or Sonic.

Today's #randomgamesaturday is brought to you by too many logos.

Looks like I missed being at Thought Bubble and/or Crash Live again. On the plus side I did have a nice lie in.

Just needs the little tech headband thing. Oh, and Nono.

I knew I had an uneasy feeling about Metroid Prime 4.

The little faceplates for the SteamCube are cool. That's the important takeaway here, isn't it?

Great box art.

Of course I want the BBC to survive. Still holding out for that Micro Live reboot.

Just saw this screenless audio player for younger kids called Yoto advertised on the telly. Umm, I wondered, what's the best-selling album on it, for, y'know, the little 'uns?

Found this while digging around for a random game for Saturday. I don't have many signed things but some Tron light cycles signed by Syd Mead will do for starters.

Extremely random (for me) #randomgamesaturday.

Quick question to anyone who colours digitally on something that will eventually be printed traditionally. What's your go-to CMYK profile? I tend to go with something like euroscale uncoated but is there a default that the big comic folks use?

Following loads of amazing artists on here and IG for inspiration only to find that it just convinces you that you're no good.

Yes, I did make sure to watch TVAM for the Pac-Man cartoon. Anything to do with games I tell you, anything!

M3GAN gets extra points for having Basil Kirchin’s Silicon Chip from 1979 over the end credits.

Icons week on Strictly so I’m hoping an Amiga Workbench 1.4 themed American Smooth.

Worldy Bloke spotted in wild.

Let my AT field down for today's #randomgamesaturday Raise your own Angel, Tamagotchi-style-ish and then send it into battle.

Well, this was a very nice surprise to get this morning.

You never know, I might have a Switch 2 by then.

One of my fave SFC sprites from Super Back To The Future - Part II. I've always thought how epic this could have been if it had gotten the golden-era Konami 16bit treatment with levels set across all three movies.

Don’t think I can ever un-see the Thunderbirds themed dance on Strictly just now. I’m sure Gerry would have been proud.

I'm not all that sold on the cover for today's #randomgamesaturday but the game itself is a banger.

Bought myself the Earthion soundtrack 'cos I'm a sucker for that kind of aural razzmatazz.

Been laid up in bed with 'the lurgi' all week. I tell you, a mix of 1970s and '80s ITV and '80s-'90s anime is a heady mix when you're under the weather and doped up on flu remedies.

Hinge broke on a 3-year old oven. No problem, we have a 5 year extended warranty. Took them over a month to say that they can't find a replacement hinge so have marked it as 'wear and tear' which isn't covered. Case closed. What can go wrong with an oven that can't be labelled as 'wear and tear'?

Me, walking into WHSm... er, TGJones thinking 'now, only if there were a publication for the fan of pretty'.

Happy Space 1999 Breakaway Day. 50 years since it was, er... 1999, or 1975 and the moon was blasted out of earth's orbit. Only this Eagle survived.

Only seemed right for a (reasonably) #randomgamesaturday

I'm still not quite sure about Metroid Prime 4. That motorbike looked a bit daft. Still, I guess I'll find out in December.

There's a definite 'look' to a lot of Switch games, here.

Remastered Space Firebird in this afternoon's Direct. If it doesn't happen, you didn't see this.

As someone of an older vintage, I often find myself retreating to the comfort of older times, where I could mostly ignore boring politics and the (usually wrong) machinations of those who think they know what's best. Today I will be mostly staring at some old cassettes and watching Micro Live.

Made in 2009, so I'm exceptionally late to this, but I thought Triangle was a great little indie mind-bender of a time loop movie. It's on Prime and Pluto. More like this, please, if you've got any recommendations (I've seen Coherence). pluto.tv/uk/on-demand...
