NES / Target holiday ad (1992).

Crazy to think that Ridge Racer V was a PS2 launch title in NA back in 2000.... And it took me until 2024 to play it. Better late than never, 'cause it's great! #retro #retrogaming #gaming #ridgeracer #ridgeracerv #playstation #playstation2 #ps2 #gamer #gamesky #videogames

I remember this game took over my life during my high school years, to the point I actually got in trouble with my grades over it. I still look back fondly on system link parties from back then. Good times. Halo 2 forever. #retro #retrogaming #halo #xbox #gaming #gamesky

RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Glad I wasn't watching the Lions/Commanders game 'cause seeing The Thing come up on my screen would've led to me throwing something at the TV.

A quarter of a century deep and the PS2 is still a beast of a console

Every introvert on my timeline shuddering at that story about Target requiring employees to smile & make eye contact if a customer gets near them. If I still shopped there, I'd be plotting a course through the aisles that avoided all employees like a real-life video game. So many levels of bad 🙃

Still hurts that the incredible PS1 Spyro trilogy was followed up by this mess of a game, and the story of its development is a horror show. Only real redeeming quality of ETD is Stewart Copeland's music.

Beat Siberia Stages 2 & 3 in Body Harvest. There's a messed up segment with a woman turning this giant alien you have to kill but you get to use a jet to destroy the stage boss, and stage 3 gives you an underwater tank. Good stuff. #retrogaming #nintendo64 #n64 #gamesky #gaming #videogames

Fresh heads-up for anyone thinking of playing Alundra anytime in the near future and didn't know this: there is a hidden portal room system of fast-travel gates with a save point inside that takes an edge off an already difficult game.

Y'all, help a gamer out here: Is Sonic Racing CrossWorlds worth $70?

And done. Yet another 100% playthrough of #SpyroTheDragon finished. I think Spyro 1 is the game I've beaten 100% the most. #retrogaming #playstation1 #gaming #gamer #gamesky #videogames #retro #ps1

Back to #Spyro this morning. The giant "devil dogs" in Dark Passage freaked me out so much when I was little that I straight up refused to play the level, which is a shame because the music track is an absolute banger. #retrogaming #playstation1 #gaming #gamer #gamesky #videogames #retro #ps1

Finally came back to Body Harvest after months away. Got through Stage 1 of Siberia, the last normal level. Took a few resets but I got it done, mostly trying to stop your evil twin from crashing a train loaded with deadly gas. #retrogaming #nintendo64 #n64 #gamesky #gaming #videogames

When you get Citra set up and the one game you want to play has "Bad" compatibility.... #starfox #nintendo3ds #3ds #gaming #gamer #gamesky #videogames #emulation

I've made no secret of my love for Star Fox 64, so the instant this gets dropped I'm burning it to a CD-R quicker than you can say "Do a barrel roll!" #retro #retrogaming #starfox #dreamcast #n64 #gaming #gamer #gamesky #videogames www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8HM...

Those prices for X3 and R-Type III, tho....

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Damn, Mickey had no chill back in the day.

The shot in the arm that the ageing Game Boy needed as the late 90s dawned: Pokémon! Nintendo Power added fuel to the hype machine as it makes its way outside Japan in its May 1998 issue.

Drop something blue 💙

On this day, 156 years ago, college football was born. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. 🏈🎂

27 years later, I still say "Fuck this level." #retrogaming #spyro #spyrothedragon #playstation1 #ps1 #gaming #gamer #gamesky #videogames

Playing the old childhood favorite, Spyro. One little detail I've always liked is all the little bits of personality they give to the enemies, like these druids that run around in a panic when you get past their magic. They're more than just generic mooks. #retrogaming #spyro #playstation1 #gamesky

EA taking that sweet Saudi blood money, Rockstar union-busting, Squenix continuing to push AI.... I may never buy a "new" video game again outside of Nintendo stuff if I ever get a Switch 2. Just retro/second-hand for the rest of my life. The modern game industry is broken and won't fix itself.

I want the gaming industry to succeed but corporate greed is taking over.

Dear lawd I need this Dreamcast.

Antonio Brown seems REALLY determined to make me glad the Steelers got rid of him.

For today's pickups I present Mode 7, pre-rendered sprites, and Xbox's failed attempt at a mascot platformer; otherwise known as Pilotwings, Vectorman, and Blinx: The Time Sweeper. #retrogaming #gaming #videogames #gamer #nintendo #snes #sega #genesis #xbox #retro #gamesky

The SNES came out a year after I was born so I didn't get one until 2011 when I came across a CIB "Super Set" bundled with Super Mario World for just $120 (which would be an absolute steal in today's collector's market) at a hobby shop. #retrogaming #videogames #gaming #snes #supermario

Okay, sorry for the deluge of political posts over the past 24 hours. Back to posts about gaming.

We won. A reminder that you are not woke, a soyboy, a leftoid, or whatever these freaks threw at you. You love your country and want what’s best for everyone. Be proud of that.
