Moon Patrol!

Prince of Persia on Playdate sounds unlikely—until it makes perfect sense. A sharp 1-bit handheld, precise platforming, brutal timing and a dungeon that still punishes sloppy play. Classic PC gaming meets modern indie hardware. #RetroGaming #PlayDate

CrankBoy v2.2.0 just hit Catalog. It comes with the Rewind feature and profound performance improvements. #Playdate #gameboy #retrogaming

500 followers, I did it. Here’s my Playdate website: playdateunofficial.com

When I opened new games as a kid, they were positioned in the sleeve to show the art, which is how I stored them—same for games from Funcoland. I've double-checked with some videos of sealed NES games being opened and they confirm my recollection!

Hold on, the NES cart sleeves are shaped like that to pull the game out easier and NOT to show off more of the sticker??? My whole life has been lived backwards.

Can now confirm the Game Llama bump. If this keeps up, the week since the review should top launch week, and my wishlists are up 50% from before the article. Thanks!

Too much to fit on one tiny PS5 disc. Maybe in the all-digital future!

1-2 punch lol

Whew I’m not the only one.

wanna run a corner shop in a dungeon? maybe you'll like dungeon bodega simulator! check out my video about it: youtu.be/SWO3_7evljY

Nintendo: the only one that figured out how to not raise console prices. (Straight-up stop production on Switch 1.)

The ID4 action figures from 1996 came with a floppy disk featuring a mini-game. 11 were released in total, able to run on anything above a 386 PC.

We made a newsletter today~

The air has a real New Vegas tint to it today.

Cannot believe how much I dislike the new Rhythm Heaven. Glad there was a demo whew, saved $40.

If you are one of those people who wasn’t sure, whether to get a @play.date or not. Not only has it amazing games and Season 3 is just around corner, but you will have a Game Boy emulation experience like nowhere else. #gameboy #retrogaming #crankboy #dmg

Thanks for the kind words @thegamellama.bsky.social! Check out Playdate Unofficial’s coverage of The Princess and the Portals, and be sure to keep an eye on their site weekly for great looks at #Playdate games.

Today on Playdate Unofficial, it's the Princess and the Portals, which is basically a 2D Portal game: www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/the-princess-and-the-portals

Why is it so smooth what is it made of????

Would love a physical version of this someday and I haven’t even played it yet.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

yes, indie devs.... make your own physical games... it's easy, it's fun, it's more expensive than it used to be, but it's cheaper than you think! my zine is free, please read it even if you're only just thinking about making physical copies of your games! physical media does not have to be killed

AND my PlayStation Stars Points are expiring.

Vita meant life.

The PS6 will be lease-only, huh?

Not only can you no longer buying PS3 and Vita games starting in August, but you soon can’t buy ANY games. So fun to announce this a day after they took away 550+ purchased (sorry: LICENSED) movies on their digital store. Now we know why they’re so pro-GTA6.

Good morning I guess pt. 2

Good morning I guess

I got a significant amount of sales after you published your article on my game. My feedback received to sale ratio is like 1:100 if not worse. You must have something similar from your readers. Anyway, thanks again for your work M. Llama.

Always nice when someone tells me they bought a Playdate game because of something I wrote.

First expansion is OUT NOW and whatttt that’s a link to my website on the Itch page, so nice ;-; gareth.itch.io/pq/devlog/15...

Presenting #Runescape Classic... coming soon to the #Sega #Dreamcast! Featuring a real-time day/night system with dynamic lighting, online connectivity, mouse + keyboard (and even dual analog stick) support, NTP-based system-time synchronization, and much more! #gamedev #retrogaming #osrs #mmorpg

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

I might have to buy a big box of games sooner rather than later. Love this store.

4 years in and people are still finding amazing new things to do with the Playdate.

Rather command a crew of futuristic ne'er do wells? That's VOID_SHIFT, a solo cyberpunk deckbuilding game from @binarystar.games Assemble a crew, outfit em with tools, and take on the 24th century's most dangerous space jobs. With instructions, 5 dice, + 36 cards STORED IN A CASSETTE TAPE CASE

A fantastic write-up by @thegamellama.bsky.social on my MORPG for the @play.date www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/po... #playdate #indiegames

Answer your soul’s call to be creative. Being fulfilled artistically is also a life priority.

Sometimes you don’t want to do anything today besides play an old Harvest Moon game until you turn into a tree.

Yeah this is why we’re not seeing it. The comic was the same.
