I recently played through Alwa's Legacy by @eldenpixels.bsky.social. The sequel to Alwa's Awakening, this #IndieGame took its #retro style from 8 to 16-bit style. The weapon and magic system was great, and the warp mechanic made the map easily navigable. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #EldenPixels

On tonight's stream I played an indie run and gun game called #DisasterArms - Impact Project B.A.H.N. by @pd-cgt.bsky.social. The hand drawn art style was really nice, adding a smooth animated vibe to a hectic bullet hell. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RunAndGun #IndieGame #PCGame #SteamGame

This Saturday, 11 April, I'm playing an #IndieGame called Disaster Arms - Impact Project B.A.H.N. by @pd-cgt.bsky.social. It's a run and gun reminiscent of Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier with a fun art style. Stream starts at 6pm Pacific, so stop by and check it out! | twitch.tv/grescokit

Tonight I played a really neat #IndieGame by @mlworkshopllc.bsky.social called #Asteroid69. More than a mere remake of the Atari arcade classic, it also has an enhanced mode with updated graphics, and unlockable weapons and ship upgrades. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #ModernRetro #Steam

I recently played an indie game called Gato Roboto. This was a Metroidvania style platformer in which you play as a cute little kitty in a robo suit, like Samus in Metroid. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #ModernRetro #IndieGame #Indie #Metroidvania #GatoRoboto #CatGame #CuteCat #Metroid

I recently played through #MetalWarriors for #SNES. This was a #mecha game made by #LucasArts and published by #Konami. I found it to be extremely difficult, but if you can make your way through it, it was a pretty interesting game. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #MechaMarch

I recently participated in Mecha March, an event celebrating mech games. I played Battle Unit Zeoth for Game Boy. A pretty unique and fun game worth a play through.| twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #RetroGames #BattleUnitZeoth #MechaMarch #MechGame #Mech #SHMUP #GameBoy #Jaleco

Tonight I played through Kid Icarus Of Myths And Monsters for Game Boy. It was essentially the same story as the NES game, but with different bosses and dungeon layouts. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #Nintendo #GameBoy #KidIcarus #Platformer #PlatformingGame

Tonight I finished up Kid Icarus for NES. I've always wanted to play this one since I was a kid, and overall it was a lot of fun. It definitely had a learning curve, but got easier as you leveled up. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #NES #Platformer #PlatformingGame #KidIcarus

I just played through an interesting #RomHack of #SuperMarioWorld that re-imagines what Super Mario Bros would be like on a CD-based console. Made by @famicomcd.org, this game blended elements of the early #SMB games, and #Yoshi even made an appearance! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming

On tonight's stream I finished up Max Payne for Game Boy Advance. This was an overhead isometric view game that really felt special compared to the original game. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #MaxPayne #RockstarGames #MobiusEntertainment #GBA #GameBoyAdvance

In celebration of FMVuary* I recently played Frankenstein Through the Eyes of the Monster for #ClassicWindows. This was a #PointAndClick horror #AdventureGame starring Tim Curry as Dr Frankenstein. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #Twitch #FMVGame #FMV #FMVuary #Frankenstein #HorrorGame #TimCurry

I recently played through a really neat retro style indie game on Steam called Roar of the Revenge. This was an action adventure game made by SEEP that was marketed as #Rastan meets #Faxanadu. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #IndieGame #IndieGaming #SEEP #ActionAdventureGame #Steam #PC

I recently played through Super #BackToTheFuture Part II for #SuperFamicom. A Japan exclusive in which you play as #MartyMcFly riding a #hoverboard, backflipping his way through the future and into the past. This one was a lot of fun! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Retro #BTTF

I recently played through a retro game called The Combatribes for Super Nintendo. It wasn't a very advanced feeling beat em up, but not too bad overall. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Retro #SNES #BeatEmUp #SuperNintendo

I mentioned Hudson's Bug Honey on Adventure Island recently, and I finally finished it this past weekend. It's part Adventure Island platformer, and part Breakout-style brick breaking game. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #HudsonSoft #Famicom #AdventureIsland #BugHoney #Breakout #Platformer

Tonight in celebration of #Jankuary I played two #Famicom games. One based on #MiloAndOtis, a cute but #janky #platformer, the other a spin off of the #AdventureIsland series that's part platformer part #breakout-style game. Pretty interesting but really tough #RetroGames. | twitch.tv/grescokit

Do you enjoy the jankier side of #RetroGaming? This Saturday the 17th at 9pm EST/6pm PST I'm playing Koneko Monogatari Adventures of #Chatran, a #Famicom game based on children's film Adventures of #MiloAndOtis. For more information, check out jankuary.com | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Jankuary

Tonight I finished up an indie game called #Grapplania. It was a really interesting precision platforming game, but also had a swinging mechanic that made it feel a bit like Castlevania meets Bionic Commando. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #IndieGame #PCGame #Steam #Retro #ModernRetro

Tonight I played through an indie game called Gunman Clive 2. I played the original one back in 2023, and the sequel was just as wacky and wild. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #IndieGame #PCGame #SteamGame #Steam #RetroStyleGame #ModernRetroGame #VideoGaming #GunmanClive #HörbergProductions

On last night's stream I played through a fun modern retro indie game called Curse of the Crescent Isle DX. It was a platformer that I found on Steam, and it was anything but ordinary platforming. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #ModernRetro #Retro #IndieGame #IndependentGame #Indie #Steam #PC

On my last stream I played through two really interesting retro style indie games about a curious little dude named Tcheco. First, Skatemasta Tcheco, an auto scrolling platforming shmuplike experience. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #IndieGames #ModernRetro #RetroGaming #SteamGame #PCGame #Tcheco

For my recent New Year stream I played a modern retro style game called Froggo's Adventure - Verdant Venture. A platformer about a little frog on a quest to find his hat. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #ModernRetro #RetroGaming #Steam #SteamGame #PCGame #IndieGame #IndependentGame #CuteFrog

I hope everyone has had a lovely holiday season! This year I played two #Christmas themed games, both of which were fun in their own way. First was Santa's #Xmas Caper for #DOS, which was a decent #platformer but with a very floaty #Santa. Pretty basic, but competent and fun. | twitch.tv/grescokit

#DOSember continues! I finished up the #LucasArts classic Star Wars #DarkForces the other night. It was really fun to take on the role of #KyleKatarn and stop #DarthVader and the #GalacticEmpire. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #MSDOS #DOS #FPS #BoomerShooter #StarWars

Tonight I finished up a #DukeNukem3D mod inspired by #DieHard called Duke Hard. This was a really well done mod and a lot of fun. It was pretty manageable difficulty-wise, but definitely had its fair share of really difficult parts. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #DukeNukem #DOS

Quick post on this week's stream schedule. I'm moving my Thursday stream to Friday Dec 12th from 8pm to midnight. @clubcrt.bsky.social is hosting a #RaidTrain all week that stops by my channel at 10pm Pacific on Friday. I'll be playing #StarWars #DarkForces, so come hang out! | twitch.tv/grescokit

There are a bunch of events like classic #Doom PVP, Skyroads racing, and even a pinball tournament. Check out dosember.com for more info | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #DOS #Retro

I recently played #Shinobi for #Sega #MasterSystem. The graphics were really nice, the FM audio was great, and things handled well for the most part, but it was also a frustratingly janky mess. Overall I enjoyed it, but it definitely had its faults. | grescokit.com | #Twitch #RetroGaming #VideoGames

This Saturday, 22 November, I'll be playing an upcoming #IndieGame called #KeysOfFury by @elecorn.bsky.social. The dev will be live on #Twitch with me talking about the game & answering questions from chat. I'm going live at 5:30pm and he will be joining me at 6pm Pacific. | twitch.tv/grescokit

I recently played Dragon Power for NES. This was originally a Dragon Ball game but lost its license for the US market. The animation was fine, but the music played the same ten notes for hours on end. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #RetroGaming #Twitch #DragonBall #Bandai #Goku #NES #Nintendo

I mentioned playing #Gun-Nac the other day, which is this month's challenge for @clubcrt.bsky.social. Here's my fight with the final boss from the #Famicom version with the original sprites: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7BR... | twitch.tv/grescokit | #TwitchClip #FinalBossFight #NES #RetroGaming #Retro

In October I played #EternalDarkness Sanity's Requiem for #GameCube. A psychological horror game, it was the first Mature rated title #Nintendo ever published. It used a unique 'sanity' meter that made strange things happen when it got too low, creating a cerebral experience. | twitch.tv/grescokit

Tonight I played through a vertical shmup called Gun-Nac for NES. The animations were cute, with enemies taking on forms like rabbits, cats, and even the occasional matchbox or cigarette. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #RetroGaming #TwitchStreamer #Shmup #GunNac #Compile #Nintendo #NES

I recently played through #CastlevaniaReVamped, a fan remake of the original #NES Castlevania. Not just a straight remake, #Lv4Games turned it into a #Metroidvania complete with map and upgradeable weapons. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #FanRemake #SimonBelmont #Dracula

I recently discovered there was a Willow #ArcadeGame by #Capcom. It was a #platformer #fantasy adventure game where you switched between #Willow, and #Madmartigan as you progressed through the game. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #LucasFilm

I recently played The Punisher by #Capcom, and #Superman by #Taito. Both were #ArcadeGames that I thought looked cool as a kid, but never got to play them. They're both beat em up style, but with their own styles. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Retro #MAME #Marvel #ThePunisher

I've been playing some #ArcadeGames recently and played a couple I loved growing up. First, #TheSimpsons by #Konami. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #MAME #RetroGaming

I recently played through #Flipper&Lopaka, a #GameBoyColor platforming game with underwater stages similar to Ecco the #dolphin. The camera was very shaky, and overall the game was pretty #janky so only check this one out if you're nostalgic for #Flipper. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #Twitch #GBC

I started speed running an #Atari #arcadegame called #ThunderJaws. It's a side scrolling run and gun with underwater diving stages. It's a lot of fun and has some wild bosses. My personal best is 24 minutes and 54 seconds so far! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Platformer #Speedrun

I recently played through #MetalStorm for #NES. This was a #platformer by #Irem, that used a gravity shifting mechanic to deal with enemies on both the floor and ceiling. There was one stage and boss that took me a while, but overall it was a fun one! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming

Tonight I played through an #IndieGame called #GravityStorm by @jampleydev.bsky.social. This #ModernRetroGame uses a gravity switching mechanic that's pretty neat. I really enjoyed this one, and definitely recommend it. You can find it on @steampowered.com and @itch.io now! | twitch.tv/grescokit

This Saturday, 6 September, I'll be playing a modern retro indie game called Gravity Storm - First Mission. This game is influenced by Metal Storm for NES, so it uses a gravity switching mechanic and looks pretty neat. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #TwitchStreamer #GravityStorm #IndieGame #Jampley

Tonight I played through Pocket Bomberman for #GameBoyColor. I never knew there was a platformer #Bomberman! What a neat game. The animations looked great, and the music sounded great. Give this one a shot if you're a fan of the series! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #HudsonSoft #GBC

I recently played a really strange game for #GameBoyAdvance called #UrbanYeti. That's right, a game about a yeti who lives in the city. It's sort of like the original GTA mixed with a bunch of weird mini games, but overall it was pretty funny. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #GBA #Jank

On my most recent stream I played through Gumby vs The Astrobots for #GameBoyAdvance. It was a pretty basic platformer, nothing too complicated, but if you're into Gumby, Pokey, and friends, it's worth a play. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Nintendo #GBA #Gumby #Pokey #Namco

Tonight I finished a #PuzzlePlatformer for #Famicom called Moai-kun. This #Konami game featured a cute little #Moai (like from Gradius). Most stages were easy enough but some got REALLY tough. Overall it was a lot of fun. Check it out if you're into puzzle games. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #RetroGaming

I recently played #DonkeyKongCountry #TropicalFreeze for Wii U. It's not very retro but it was SUPER fun! It was my first DKC game, so I'll have to play more of them in the future. If you're into #DonkeyKong, definitely play this one! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #RetroGaming #Nintendo #WiiU #DKC #Twitch

I recently played through my first #Metroid game, #ZeroMission for the #GameBoyAdvance. The colors were vibrant, the music was great, and it even had exclusive content after the ending of the NES version. I look forward to checking out the rest of the series. #RetroGaming #GBA | twitch.tv/grescokit
