Games I've never played but immediately make me yearn for dial up internet and Saturday morning cartoons.

Getting weird with it on a Sunday night.

"Pippin: Best console ever? Probably. Most expensive console ever? Blimey, yes. But, look at it..." God I love how exaggerated 90s gaming magazines were.

Get in losers, we're playing the best Burnout there ever was.

Flying Spaghetti Monster, if you're out there, we'll take another Ridge Racer please. 🙏

Frozen Shore (Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, Arcade-PS1, SNK-Japan Vistec, 1999)

Currently in A and E because I stood on a badge pin. Can't tell if it's right in there or not but I pay my taxes and I want someone else to pull it out for me. Already had some drugs and the nurses have been fawning over my wee foot. Love the NHS.

*techno soundtrack intensifies*

9/9/1995. Today marks three decades since America welcomed the console that redefined gaming.

Remember: Dress for the slide, not the ride.

Grand Theft Auto (It's a Crime).

I'm shocked the Vengaboys made this track. First heard it on a late-90s Paul Oakenfold Essential Mix, and it felt like a throwback to older breaks and trance even then. Genuinely one of my favourites and I'm only *now* realising who produced it! youtu.be/Mu5dlM1hRTo?...

Good morning.

It wasn't the best way to play Half Life, but it was decent, and that's all that mattered when my dad's crusty AMD box wasn't up to the task. This Sunday. 👨‍🔬

RAGE RACER ナムコ公式ガイドブック 「レイジレーサー」 １２月発売予定！！ 乞うご期待！！

There's always the temptation to max out every setting while emulating, but I prefer my PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games to look exactly as they did back in ye olden days. Jaggy edges, low poly textures, and all.

Good morning!

The cover art for Twilight Syndrome is pretty stunning. That ethereal blue wash over everything. 💙

"A surveillance camera!?"

Working. Can't stop thinking about MGS3. Need to play MGS3.

One of the greatest games ever made. And yes, something will kill you. 😭🤣

If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will.

PSP is here.

Discovering a subreddit for your favourite game is both a blessing and a curse.

First saw Aqua Aqua on some VHS that came with a gaming mag. Never thought I'd actually end up playing it, but I'm glad I did. A lovely wee puzzler to return to now and again.

Well that's my weekend sorted.

Are you winning, son? 🥸

Rockstar Games released a documentary about low riders in 2005 with the GTA San Andreas special edition www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwHU...

Yes ma'am. 😌

One of my favorite gaming books. I came across a copy in Ibiza about 15 years ago, read it on holiday, then left it in a little community library for someone else to enjoy.

The older I get, the more I realise two things. 1. Artistic integrity means everything to me. I want to see the work as the creator envisioned it, not altered by outside opinions. 2. Twitter is still a cesspool of engagement bait, a hellscape where everyone scrambles for attention.

The Japan-only Cowboy Bebop game for PS2 has just been fan translated by SONICMAN69.

What a thrill.

I think about the impermanence of online gaming a lot. Pretty much gone forever. Communities scattered, all those memories locked away in a place you can never visit again.

Good morning.

Since @jeffgerstmann.com has been on a Katamari bender, I thought I'd remind people there's a really rad pre-launch demo disc that Namco distributed at TGS 2003 that's worth playing if you're a superfan. It contains a unique level not in the final game and some of the music is different, too, IIRC.

This Sunday, I’m finally getting around to talking about one of my favorite games: Final Fantasy X. Hope to see you there! 🍵

PSP IS HERE

29 years ago today, Jumping Flash 2 was released in the US.
