Quick reminder that it looks amazing on a TV as well…

It's Retro Gamer's 22nd birthday and the new issue is in stores today. It's features… Shadow Of The Colossus Sonic The Hedgehog Earthion Sensible Software Goal! Analogue 3D review Monty On The Run + much more And tributes to our dear friend, Nick Thorpe www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/retro-gam...

New stick! 🕹️

The SMS only has two true grey colours but you can use a neat trick. Here I use a midtone brown, which when placed alongside other bright reds appears grey. Also notice dark grey appears green when placed in red, as green is opposite to red on the RYB colour wheel. #pixelart

Neon Hearts City is 35% off for Steam Detective Week! store.steampowered.com/app/3316640/... #indiegame #indiedev #adventuregame #pointandclick

Eternally youthful #RaidenFighters Remix a real trailblazer in 2026. #CityHunter is fun after the epic Netflix live action remake. #EarnestEvans of #MegaCD #SegaCD fame gets a well-earned remake. Delightful #Darius keyrings to nail your colours to the mast. genkivideogames.com/games/?e-fil...

My attempt to restore the artwork of #ShadowOfTheNinja by Greg Winters used on the cover of the NA #NES release as well as for advertising. Removed logos/text, adding missing bits, taking some liberties at the bottom, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Met a musical hero of mine, the 16-Bit musician Toshiaki Sakoda (Recca, Aleste, Spriggan) and purchase his CD release. He was kind enough to sign it for me too.

A bit of lesser spotted zany SFC on a grey Sunday afternoon. 👀

Knocking for friends.

Good morning, and TFI Friday! 🎉 Some lesser spotted SFC Wolf Team to round off the week.

I haven't touched this game in months, but looking forward to seeing what this version of Alex brings.

Have some glorious Emerald Dragon artwork to brighten up your day. 🙂‍↕️

Not a lot of people know this but Trump used to a goalkeeper in Super Soccer on the SNES

Patiently waiting for that MD physical release. ⌛

imho it's the first best perfect game ever i love it

The lovely thing about this time of year is the chance to spotlight smaller games that got buried in the busy pre-Xmas release schedule. Here's my Metro review of Clawpunk, a superb 'feral cyberpunk' run 'n' gun that's equal parts West Side Story and Metal Slug! metro.co.uk/2026/01/06/c...

Cracked open the Prime 4 extra gear the other day. The big mouse mat is actually really nice. Kinda wish there was a CD of the OST though. 🥲

Only TwinBee artwork can help sort these back to work blues. 🥲

Lunchtime.

Thunder Force IV blowout for #scanlinesunday

Thunder Force IV review in Sega Pro issue 11 '92. Interestingly, the supplier "Game World" was located in the town where I now live. Local import stores were havens in the 90's.

Book flu vaccine via NHS for my son to be carried out by the Chemist, rock up. The Chemist:

My wife got me the R-Type Original Sound Box for Christmas. It's a hefty package!

スペースハリアーが登場した1985年末は、家庭用はファミコンの52色、パソコンは8色デジタルの画像が主流で32000色を使った映像がリアルタイムに動くこと自体が衝撃だった。まさに技術とパワーのゴリ押し、インパクト絶大だったのです… #SpaceHarrier #SEGA #1985

Yep! I’m playing though SteamWorld Dig 2 again. And this time on my PS5. It’s one of the most addictive $2 games ever made.

ULTIMATE SEGA

Here’s our 2025 retrospective! Portuguese version coming soon! youtu.be/ZoqRpryy1To?...

Couldn't have said it better myself. #scanlinesunday #crt #rgb #bvm #trinitron

Christmas '91.

Sonic the Hedgehog review in Mean Machines magazine. Starlight Zone is still some of my favourite video game music. #Sega #MegaDrive #90s #SonicTheHedegehog #SegaGenesis ☀️🌴

Episode 088 is out now! MetalFRO and Addicted discuss the debut indie shooter from a promising developer, the cute-em-up Hazelnut Hex! @chunderfins.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK4k...

this game is mad underrated and can be had for a pittance on steam rn if i'm not mistaken

Four games that defined my 2025.

All of our RPGs are ridiculously cheap on Steam at the moment. They make perfect gag gifts for all your Steam friends! store.steampowered.com/search?term=...

Super Mario World is a timeless masterpiece for Super Nintendo Entertainment System! From colorful visuals to iconic music, Explore amazing levels and ride with Yoshi. It’s one of those games that I always come back to play, because this game is a special place for bottom of my heart. ❤️

The wait is finally over. 🥲

A nice little Christmas card commission for my friends at Rare to round out the end of the year. There will be no questions taken as to why 'xxx' isn't represented.

Christmas and video games go hand in hand (possibly moreso for us 80s/90s kids where you'd only have a few chances to get a game per year). Very relatable stories in here (alongside my own).

I wrote some thoughts on my gaming in 2025 here. www.reddit.com/r/shmups/s/F... TLDR: shmups don’t respect your past achievements, harder clears take longer, fun times were had! All the best for 2026! #shmups #stg

And now we interrupt the broadcast for an important message. www.eurogamer.net/drop-everyth...

I really love this game, great work!

Ah man, Chris Rea. "Driving Home.." is a top 3 Christmas tune and my personal favourite. RIP 🙏🏿❤️.

35 years.

Happy birthday to one of the good guys. All the best @pablo0151.bsky.social . 🙏🏿🎉🥳

I've heard good things....

XGIII under the tree! 🎄
