It’s a long time since I first played this bad boy… Let’s see how it holds up!

You know what sucks? Getting a cracking game on eBay for a couple of quid… and then postage more than doubles the price!!

Fatal Fury 2: Sega Megadrive / Genesis The follow-up to the original game pushes the boundaries with more characters, moves and backdrops. Plus it heralds the arrival of a certain Mai Shiranui and her bouncy wares! Where would online fan art be without her?!

We were stoked when Panzer Dragoon Orta was announced! But anxious too! Could SEGA capture the unique soul of this amazing franchise but still update it to make use of Xbox’s raw power?! Our new vid is about how they did… rather well!! tinyurl.com/GFAOrta

Street Fighter Alpha 2 is absolute top tier fighting perfection! And the character line up is amazingly good - but who’s your favourite?!

Spare a thought for Mario! Always trying to save the Princess from Bowser and always finding she’s done a runner! youtube.com/shorts/bBhym...

Separated at birth…

Is this the most yellow Dreamcast you’ve ever seen??!

What do you think of paying £60 for a box?! On the one hand, I get it - if you’re completing a collection of consoles you once loved it adds that bit of completeness. On the other hand, it’s £60 for a box.

Ever wondered how Kotaro from Gunstar Heroes felt when he got his Pinky Roader roasted by Red? Wonder no more Treasure fans!! youtube.com/shorts/RzRp_...

Fatal Fury: Sega Mega Drive / Genesis The Neo Geo’s answer to Street Fighter 2 hits Sega’s 16-bit console… and it wasn’t too bad actually! Certainly not up to Capcom’s masterpiece but a decent bit of fun that tided us over until Ryu and co finally hit the Mega Drive. All in all, not bad!

Bloody love Crazy Train!!

Seen on eBay… “No lowball offers! I know what I’ve got!”

If Dreamcast had shipped with both white and black models as standard… Which would you have gone with?!

Castle of Illusion made a hell of an impression on the early 90s! That silky animation, those beautiful levels, that Disney magic… it was stunning! But three decades - and countless Disney Games later - how does it hold up?! Find out in our new vid! tinyurl.com/CoI-Mickey

Street Fighter 2: Sega Master System Pretty impressive visuals on SF2 for the mighty Sega Master System… Gameplay is a little er… wanting! But mash hard enough you might see Ryu or Ken perform a familiar move or two! Is the dragon punch actually in this game? Who knows!

Reasons to love retro gaming #36 No one has ever thought Wolfenstein 3D is a real shootout and called the police 😂

I’ve been playing a bunch of the various Disney games recently and for me Aladdin is def top three! I like the speed and variety - it’s got the Disney polish for sure but it’s also got that Dave Perry silliness and fun! youtube.com/shorts/Qr4wy...

Played a fair bit of the late 80s/ early 90s Disney games recently - some real corkers in there! Who d’ya reckon did Disney better in that period - Capcom or SEGA?!

Man alive, I’ve been after Cannon Spike for years! Capcom legends, Dreamcast graphics, bullet hell chaos - it’s like they made a game just for me! But that price has just kept skyrocketing… Is now the time to bite the bullet? Or give up forever?! tinyurl.com/CannonSp

I really like Cannon Spike but man ALIVE is it crazy expensive!! New vid coming having a look at the game and its insane price tag!! Out on YT this evening, Live at 5!

We love you Al Nilsen! (He's just about to play Moonwalker and Castle of Illusion live on TV!)

Highest price ticket I’ve ever seen on a game irl… holy shizzballs things are getting nuts 😂

So you’re in Paris with your wife… Do you go for romantic dinners by the Eiffel Tower Or… here!

Some games just get better and BETTER with age! I’ve always liked Dead or Alive 2 - but playing it recently I bloody love it!! Find out what makes is SO good in our latest vid! tinyurl.com/GFA-DOA2

Forget the Tower of Power… It’s all about the Office Complex of Flex! * ( *Suggestions to improve this terrible pun are welcome and encouraged 😂😂)

So you’ve got yourself a chonky OG Game Boy… But how d’you keep that bad boy safe on your travels?! Generic Retrosix case, Nintendo soft pouch or hard shell ASCII case?!

Very beautiful. ❤️ Here's mine. It's awaiting a trip to my repair table for a recapping but there's a long list of patients ahead of it...

Good GOD it’s beautiful…!

Thanks for all your lovely comments about our Mean Machines Does Youtube vid! If you love 90s retro def give it a go! And after, if you'd like to read the review in magazine format - as God in the 90s intended!! - then here she blows! Vid is here 👇 tinyurl.com/GFA-MMS

We love Mean Machines SEGA! That mag really shaped the 90s, it made us laugh, and most importantly it recommended a tonne of brilliant games we still play! And we’d love to have it back… So what if… We made that happen?! Just for one vid…?! tinyurl.com/GFA-MMS

What if Mean Machines SEGA did YouTube?! And reviewed Contra Hard Corps on Mega Drive?! And featured the amazing talents of @swooper_d and @TheRetroMartin?! Find out 11th March, 1700 GMT!!

What gaming opinion is this?!?

I didn’t realise how much I’d love the Mega Drive Mini Got it on a whim but it’s so gorgeous it’s getting pride of place on the desk!!

Wow, this Segagaga project! Think what you like about AI usage but read this @TheDCJunkyard article about the skill and genius that went in to making it happen I absolutely love that this community exists! Ps also this ace pic is from @SaturnSerkel tinyurl.com/yxw4ksjf

Are YOU a Mega Drive owner worried you’ll be FORCED to play SNES?! Do YOUR parents force you to like Mario?! Does you KID BROTHER make you suffer an INFERIOR Street Fighter 2?! Well, worry no more!! Now you can lock away those pesky SNES consoles and live in peace!!

Road Rash 2 absolutely NAILED what we were looking for as gamers in the early 90s! It had racing, it had fighting, it was funny, it was inventive! In fact, it was EA doing a lot of stuff we loved SEGA for! Revisit this classic in our last vid! tinyurl.com/RoadRashII

Man alive, I wish I could go back and grab classic Mega Drive games before the prices went nuts! I don’t want em all - just the core would do! But some are just beyond all reach… Anyone wanna make me jealous and say they’ve got an original Contra / Probotector?!

Mr Rogers plays his new vinyl of the Earthion soundtrack!! x.com/yuzokoshiro/...

Dear Bluesky - here is some Friday joy just for you!! Because nothing fills the heart with gladness more than Green Hill Zone! Happy Friday!!

Weird Al Conducts The Super Street Fighter 2 Arcade Intro youtu.be/uArKHwWa-ZA?si…

For good or ill, no machine sounds like SNES! Big Blue is the perfect tune to show it off with that manic melody full of wailing samples!! It’s the S-SMP at its best!! youtube.com/shorts/zFhDF...

When people rediscover the classics! #retrogaming #streetsofrage2 #yuzokoshiro #sega

SNES did have some bangers y’know! I do generally prefer Mega Drive’s bassy funk synth to SNES’ parpy sampler but… In the right hands, Nintendo’s machine could still produce gems like this - from F-Zero’s Mute City! youtube.com/shorts/ElIW0...

And as if a new JP Sonic, and a new chonky Game Boy, wasn’t enough… I couldn’t resist getting another one of the Game Gear Micros… (also with Sonic on! It’s probably the only game I could play on that tiny screen!)

It’s been quite the week!! After Sonic arrived from Japan yesterday, this little beauty arrived from @retromartin.bsky.social today!! Martin picked it up for me and even wangled Star Wars as a freebie! What a wheeler dealer!! Thanks dude! So, in your honour…

There’s never been a title screen better than Burning Force! The music’s a bit tasty too!! youtube.com/shorts/JyBPF...

Fantastic news! Did you get this one from Japan as well?
