There's something magical about the aesthetic of old PC RPGs

The famous "Bus Station Street Fighter" (Street Fighter de Rodoviária) here in Brazil. We had many hacked arcades in these places here. www.vice.com/pt/article/s...

Trading messages with a JP dude about my bootleg videos, made me realize there's a bit of context I never properly explained: Bootleg games like Street Fighter & Donkey Kong Countryon NES or Tekken on the Mega Drive existed because +

These past few days I've been trading DMs with a Japanese dude who organizes Street Fighter tournaments in Osaka. He took a major interest in my bootleg videos and how JP media was bootlegged/pirated across the world & how it was perceived in Portugal Super rewarding convos

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 is the only time I've ever seen where every dub has the actor singing in their own language, and then have them all shift to singing in Japanese

After watching Back to The Future 1 in the theaters, I decided to revisit part 2. And while I enjoyed it... it wasn't as good as I remember. Part 1 still slaps though

Some wonderful C64 art ⇢ polytricity.itch.io/c64-art-coll...

I almost fell for an attempt to hack my channel today. But thankfully, @slopesgameroom.bsky.social made a video talking about this exact scam earlier this year

Just finished this and up until the last one I was discovering stuff and while not everything is to my taste (I'm more Shooters Ready than Beyond Citadel 😅) I'm soooooo grateful to @st1ka.bsky.social for covering all of this. This is fabulously good work here!!!

My coworker has the Green Hill Zone theme as his ringtone. I ask if he likes Sonic. "No, but my son is a Sonic fanatic" "How old is he?" "16" Me:

For Patrons: Next console is up for my 25 Favorites series. This time, it's the outstanding SEGA Saturn library. It was a very hard list to narrow down. As usual, this full article is Patreon exclusive. A cut down list of 10 will appear on the free blog later. www.patreon.com/posts/142642...

One of my favorite parts of this video? You can scrub two hours into it and still hear how much joy he has when talking about the games. Truly a labor of love to make a lot of these titles more accessible to new players.

WHAT?!

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

Highly recommend all writers check this out!

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

Just saw Back to The future Part 1 in theaters as part of the 40th Anniversary celebrations. What an overrated piece of sh-nah just kidding Power of Love / 10 Aged like a damn fine wine.

Happy Halloween! Don't forget to stop by your local Little Caesars for this year's spooky special: Hot N Ready Pizza Butter Cups! Two packs only, while supplies last.

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan. From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history. Link: youtu.be/F80Cl6WzBNo?... This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Always loved the look of early polygon games on Ms-Dos

It's kind of funny how my FPS video does better on social media platforms than it does on YouTube itself lol

Para el fin de semana os recomendamos este repaso a todos los first-person shooters desarrollados en Japón, a cargo de @st1ka.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=F80C...

#Invidious is an open-source, ad-free alternative frontend to YouTube. Worth looking into if you're sick of YouTube's shit. (And, no, I don't care if it hurts my "revenue.") invidious.io There are public instances here that you can use right now: docs.invidious.io/instances/ #opensource #youtube

Started watching Hazbil Hotel Season 2. Pretty good. Definitely feels better paced than Season 1

I'm gonna do what they call a 'Pro Gamer Move" & just ask directly. Please follow me on twitch. I don't even care about the site, I just want another place I can reach people in case something happens.

The good thing about being bilingual is that I can watch youtubers from multiple languages that y'all will never watch 😎 youtube.com/shorts/ZjtFu...

Sent this to Keiichi Onogi, the producer on Star Cruiser Megadrive, which St1ka gave an A+. He was glad to see the game still being appreciated all these years later.

Looks like we're getting a new Mega Drive game

I reworked the camera, improved clipping and rewrote the physics with acceleration and drift, the feel is better now

They don't make pixel art like this anymore

"A first-time experience. A first-time handheld RPG. Presented by Square, the makers of Final Fantasy!" "SAGA - runs from your palm to your heart." Aww, what a cute tagline. Cool (and cutesy!) artwork and promo for Makai Toushi SaGa, released in 1989. Adventuring in your pocket - go!

Playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. It's okay. The concept is excellent, but the execution a little wonky. Still fun for what it is

Best from software logo ever.

follow the rules

"All the secrets! All the spells and limit breaks!" - The ULTIMATE guide to Final Fantasy VII in 1997. Illustrated throughout by Lena Yoshikawa.

I could sound 7 trumpets to warn of the arrival of a new Sean Seanson video. Instead, I will release another mix of old video game music. Club PlayStation Mix No.11 is out now! youtu.be/tnBa2ju773c

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

block game's first crafting gameplay loop is in! \o/ break leaves to get sticks, combine with flamereed to get torches, place torches to light up the darkness starting a new dev thread to mark the occasion, previous posts found here: bsky.app/profile/enik... #EniBlockGame #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮

My v2 attempt of restoring the artwork of Zanac by Tsukasa Tajima used on the cover of the #NES (NA), #FamicomDiskSystem, and #MSX/2 (as Zanac EX) releases. Used different and better sources, filling a missing bit at the bottom, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

ys 3 nes might be the funniest port of this game yet

Have to go all weekend to a team building event for my day job I'd rather just stay home and work on my video

So uh... Genshin Impact now has custom characters (with gacha cosmetics) and a ROBLOX-like system of mini-games made by users with an editor tool? What?

Where does Fight N' Rage land?

Why did none of you tell me Portugal was in Dragon Quest 3?
