2025 Finished Game 54 - Samurai Aces (Arcade) Samurai Aces is a nondescript looking arcade SHMUP. Simple, yet crisp controls with stunning sprite work. You can even pilot your ship as a dog plus the runtime is short so I say check it out. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 53 - Frogger (GBC) Frogger won’t impress you with graphics or sounds. Gameplay is simplistic, yet addicting. 8 looping levels of chaotic hopping will keep you occupied during long car rides to grandmas. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Hey look at that! One of my teams won a football game. Way to go, Dolphins. 🙂

2025 Finished Game 52 - Vanguard Bandits (PS1) Played at the same time as my buddy @kwrgon.bsky.social Story, gameplay, and graphics are great with choices adding to replay value. Would like more mech customization,but it’s worth your time. 4/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.208 Vanguard Bandits (PS1). Played in conjunction with my buddy @gohobogo.bsky.social. We had a randomizer pick a Tactics RPG and boy, did it pick a good one. It mixes strategy and story brilliantly, offering epic battles and great gameplay. Recommended!

Just a picture of Sasuke and his Yoshi blanket. 🥹

2025 Finished Game 51 - Oregon Trail (Series X) I expected a cash grab, but instead found nostalgic fun. Charming retro style graphics, toe tapping music, and additional storylines of on people you meet along the trail. Loads of unlockable modes. 4.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

ACC play starts today with a tough road game vs rival, Georgia Tech. Tech has a hard nosed team this year and Clemson needs to wake up and start strong. The year could hinge on this game. Let’s go, Tigers!

I had a good time watching and already bought my wife the game for my wife. Give them a watch especially if you’re into cozy games. They deserve more followers.

2025 Finished Game 50 - NFL QB Club 96 (GG) There are a ton of NFL games on the GameGear. I really enjoyed playing defense and trying to pick off passes. It’s not perfect. If it had player names and season stats it would be great, but it’s still solid. 3.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

I was just thinking it sure would be cool if a new podcast would drop today. @indiequestpod.com delivers! Thanks for bringing a little extra enjoyment to everyone’s day.

2025 Finished Game 49 - Test Drive 6 (GBC) + Runs smooth with solid controls. Tons of replay value - CPU cheats, bland graphics, and must be perfect to unlock final cup. Conclusion: A decent racer on the go, but far from perfect. 3.25/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Time to get the season back on track against Troy. Need to clean up mistakes and play smart. Offense needs to right the ship and show balance. Let’s go, Clemson!

I love this guy so much.

@gamersweekpc.bsky.social The worst part about not being able to make it to the livestream is when you listen on Friday and you think of a really good joke or quote that would have been perfect at the time. Instead I tell the joke to myself as I sit crying in the corner of my shower. 🤣

2025 Finished Game 48 - Battleship (GG) It seems the GG got a port of the NES game. Unlock different ships and attacks over 40 battles. Fun in bursts, but gets repetitive. Works out well on the handheld. Play a few battles a session and put it away. 3.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Having a lot of fun playing through Gears of War: Reloaded with my buddy Ryan. We bonded over GoW when I started working as a bouncer and he was one of the bartenders. He’s since moved to NYC, but he’s still one of my best friends. A lot of good memories. I needed this. 😊 #GearsofWarReloaded

2025 Finished Game 47 - Paperboy (GG) Like most GG games, the view is zoomed in which can make dodging obstacles. Difficulty levels makes this edition of Paperboy more accessible. Plays solid with serviceable graphics. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 46 - Batter Up (GG) A classic 8 bit style of baseball from the makers of the NES RBI Baseball games. Best all of the other teams to become City Champs. Plays solid, but lacks refinement and real MLB players or teams. 3.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Another year is upon us. High expectations starts tonight with LSU in town. Keep Nussmeier uncomfortable and thinking about the pass rush. Cade needs to play smart and wait for his matchups. Get Randle and the running game established early. Let’s go, Tigers!

2025 Finished Game 45 - Streets of Rage II (Game Gear) A beautifully colorful and impressively smooth running beat ‘em up on the go. Easy to see why this is on every must own Game Gear list. I wholeheartedly agree. 5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 44 - Jeopardy! (Game Gear) Appears to be identical to the Game Boy release only with color. Animations were pretty rough. Overall it’s serviceable, but outdated trivia. 2.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 43 - Yogi’s Gold Rush (GB) A solid platformer with impressive animations and unique enemy designs. Unfortunately I got the bad ending because I didn’t recover all of the treasure. I enjoyed it regardless. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 42 - NBA 3 on 3 feat. Kobe Bryant (GBC) A solid basketball game on the go? Yes! While this wont challenge home console games, fun is to be had. I won the trophy with Miller, Dale Davis, and Rik “Dunkin Dutchman” Smits & the Pacers. 3.25/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 41 - Deep Duck Trouble Starring Donald Duck (GG) Colorful sprites explode off of the screen. Donald is beautifully animated. Platforming feels a little loose and later level difficulty forces unnecessary repetition. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 40 - Joe Montana Football (GG) Teams are city name only and no matter the teams it’s red vs blue. You can only play single games. Still, this game has charm and is a serviceable football game for a long car ride. 2.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 39 - VR Troopers (Game Gear) A surprisingly smooth running fighting game with backgrounds that really pop on the small screen. Enemies repeat often which is disappointing. You can cheese the AI easily too. 4/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 38 - The Berenstain Bears’ Camping Adventure (GG) A surprisingly competent platformer that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Colorful sprites throughout. Gameplay can be repetitive, yet challenging. 3/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 37 - Mortal Kombat II (GG) Impressive graphics and sprites. Gameplay can be inconsistent and cheap. If you’re an MK fan this version is decent on the go. 3/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

I made a meme. 😄

2025 Finished Game 36 Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition (Series X) Messing around in GamePass I started replaying this fav of mine. I searched nearly every damn nook and cranny of this game. Now I can finally finish 2 and then 3! Backlog be damned! 5/5⭐️ #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

2025 Finished Game 35 Bejeweled Deluxe (Steam) I’m not sure what makes this the “deluxe” version. There are only two modes, normal and time trial. It did t take long to top the list on both. Later iterations are much better. 2/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Sasuke versus alligator.

I saw this little fella while mowing the lawn and thought I would share him.

If you have a moment today, check out Colin and Sophie Hortman’s tribute to their parents on @thecurrent. It’s moving, powerful, and full of great music!

It's me. I'M GALACTUS 😭 #crustymeme

Some exciting news for the future! 😍 #octopathtraveler0 #finalfantasytactics

This one is hard. I fell out of love with baseball, but as a kid I religiously watched the Cubs. I was a big Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, and of course, Sandberg. Rest easy, 23.

2025 Finished Game 34 - Samurai Shodown! (GG) A colorful experience with above average controls. The difficulty on this game can feel unfair, but solid for the early handheld. 3.25/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

2025 Finished Game 33 - Poker Face Paul’s Solitaire (GG) Four different types of the Solitaire card game are available to play. Way more than I expected. A worthy time, and potentially battery killer. 3/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Thank you, Myles. 😭

This PS2 modded with a custom acrylic top is sick!

2025 Finished Game 32 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (Series X) I put 142 hours into this excellent update of a classic. Impressive visual updates and quality of life improvements stand out. It’s not perfect, but a much more accessible version. 4.5/5⭐️ #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I’m so proud of this Pacer team They played with so much heart. It’s hard to not think of what could have been if Haliburton didn’t get hurt. Congratulations to OKC. This small market finals matchup was electric. #indianapacers

I wanted to take a moment to appreciate my wife, Jessica. I truly don’t know where I would be without her. She gives me the support and strength to go on during my hardest times. She loves me when I don’t even love myself. She gives so much to others and rarely asks for anything in return. (Cont)

Bench fueled this win. Keep fighting, Pacers!
