I am SOOOOOO proud of getting this song started. Got a lot more to do but I'm tearing up as I get further into it. #Castlevania

We couldn't afford a SFC/SNES as kids, so we only played SF II on an arcade machine at the laundrette. There, we made friends, forged rivalries and learned new tech. I'll always play a new SF game; my oldest brother and I play 6, still as sharp as ever, both approaching 50. Gief v Guile. 35 years.

The Street Fighter II (all iterations) art was part of the mystique. We'd only see this stuff in magazines.

Happy Birthday to Street Fighter 2 🎂👊 Released 35 years ago today in arcades 🕹️ What are your memories of the epic vs fighter? #bitmapbooks #booksky #gaming #streetfighter2 #capcom

35 years? It's basically part of the family.

35yrs ago today the world changed & would never be the same again

Starting the weekend off properly, with the glorious SFC release of First Samurai. 🙂‍↕️

Bring this series back. 🙌🏿

When East meets West. That Bob Wakelin art wins in this case. Those Colours.

A case of when the boxart = the visuals ✨.

Today feels like the sort of day that would benefit from some TwinBee. 🙂‍↕️

Alex looks so damn fun! 🙌🏿

Sad news for Bruce Campbell. The upside is it’s treatable. Hope he bounces back. He’s one of the good ones.

#scanlinesunday contribution (I usually forget!).

Nice to see M2 are now on Bluesky. 👍🏿 bsky.app/profile/mtwo...

Oh hey — here are four of the best-looking Transformers toys of all time to get you going on a Friday. Have a good one!

Hey everyone One of our fans living in San Francisco contacted us while traveling in Japan, saying they wanted our CD. I handed it over today. It's awesome that our music is reaching people across the ocean! YAMAOH gonna express it on the drums! The song is from SEGA's classic Space Harrier

Today's review is Road Rash for the Sega Genesis pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/02/sega... Holds up quite well I'd say. #retrogaming

Strapped in and ready for a revamped #RaidenFighters - one of the most hotly anticipated retro releases in years. Released in Japan today, sent with #Biohazard to the UK tomorrow for dispatch early next month. #switch #ps4 Final Call: genkivideogames.com/games/?e-fil...

A day to sit around drinking coffee and reading old vidya magazines, anyone? 🥲

After Zanac on nes, it made sense to me to jump forward to Zanac Neo on PS1. 3 years & a week since I cleared easy mode, finally got the normal 1cc. Had a little more trouble negotiating obstacles in this, but made it through on my 3rd attempt - enjoying my time in the compile space. #shmup #stg

Good afternoon from the (sadly) lesser spotted Earth Light. 🌍

I thought Alien Soldier was ahead of its time. Difficult to master, but when it clicks, it does feel like a 2D character action game. In fact, something like Vanquish, kinda feels like its 3D cousin.

Alien Soldier was 31 years old yesterday!

Episode 32 is sloooowly coming together. But who doesn't love a bit of good natured and sometimes even insightful chat about classic arcade games such as Mappy, Mario Bros., Gyruss, Star Wars and... Krull?

I really enjoyed this — especially hearing the panel’s picks and their reasons behind them. What’s great is that everyone’s top 3 or 5 will look completely different. The 16-bit era was special.

Super Famicom though. 🫡

I was interviewed by tech-gaming, where I talked about why I started TERARIN GAMES, my philosophy on making STGs, my latest game, Blaze of Storm, and more. Be sure to check it out. www.tech-gaming.com/qa-terarin-g...

Sektori is the best twin-stick shooter I've played since Nex Machina. That rush to the end on Campaign 👌🏿🔥.

Both this and Revolgear Zero out on the same day, from two of the best indie STG devs at the moment. 🥳

Post a fav game that got a 75 or less on Metacritic God Hand is one of my top 3 PS2 games. 😡

Post a fav game that got a 75 or less on Metacritic I can't believe this got such a low score....

Speaking of the original. 🫡

the APM3 arcade version of Cotton Rock With You, the upcoming sequel to Cotton Rock'n'Roll/Fantasy, will be going on location from Feb.25~Mar.3 @ HEY & Mar.4~10 @ Mikado https://www.success-corp.co.jp/topics/20260216/45093/ 🇯🇵 the loc build will include 8 characters & 10 stages

I haven’t my original out in a while, but first impressions of this one are good. 👀

This game looks great on a monitor. 🔥

A day to spend playing PS1 RPGs, please. 🙋‍♂️

New stick mod, key change here other than aesthetics, was replacing the Sanwa JLX1 with an old Seimitsu LS-56. Seems like some TR Fightsticks shipped with the new JLX2, while others didn't...

Serial Experiments Lain is a cautionary, deeply political story about how cool the Sharp X68000 looked, and what would happen if computers kept looking like that.

Motion to spend the day reading mid-late 90s issues of CVG. 🙋‍♂️

No bugs/damp = success. 👍🏿

The artwork of 3 Count Bout by Shinkiro used on the cover of the #SNK #NeoGeo AES and #NeoGeoCD releases in North America as well as for arcade flyers. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

We talked about Ridge Racer.
