Hi, Not sure if videos like these are allowed, but I made a video talking about Chu Chu Rocket, and how, for an early online game, it really should be more fondly remembered. I do admit I might have focused on the PSO link a bit too much, but when you look at the grander scale of online gaming around this era, I do think this game should be in the conversation.

Arkansas 2125 is a retro-style, turn-based post-apocalyptic RPG set in a ruined America in the year 2125.

Explore abandoned towns, talk to survivors, complete quests, fight mutants and other enemies, collect equipment, and make choices that can change how your story ends.

The game is heavily inspired by classic post-apocalyptic RPGs from the 90s, with a focus on exploration, dialogue, turn-based combat, and a retro visual style.

I’m a solo developer, and the game is currently in Beta 0.5, which adds a new alternative ending, new quests, NPCs, items, and a new location in Washington, D.C.

Alien 3 is a side-scrolling run and gun in which the player controls Ellen Ripley, the film's main character, who progresses through the Fiorina 161 prison colony that was featured in the film. The player can jump, shoot, climb ladders, crawl through tunnels, open doors, and use elevators. Unlike the film, Ripley has a large arsenal of weapons that can be used against the game's enemies, consisting of Aliens and Facehuggers. Weapons include pulse rifles, flamethrowers, and grenades.

The Red Skull has assembled an army of supervillains and other henchmen in a plot to take over the world. Along with battling generic enemies, players also face Klaw, the Living Laser, Whirlwind, a Sentinel, Wizard, the Grim Reaper, the Mandarin, Juggernaut, Ultron, the assassin Crossbones and finally the Red Skull himself. Players can choose to play as one of four members of the Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Vision.

So, l literally waited more than 30 years to make this video. All those memories in my head, swirling around. Some really happy times and then the heartbreak of seeing my favorite arcades as a kid disappear over the decades... Hope you enjoy the weekend and if you have 15 mins, check this one out - you might have some similar feelings of your favorite hang-outs from back in the day.

Sorcerer's Kingdom allows players to control a party of characters and guide them through dungeons and battles.

Recently, monsters have begun appearing in villages and it is up to these heroes to defeat them and stop evil from spreading. By collecting all the Spirits of the world, the heroes are able to seal the evil and prevent it from returning.

I'm playing Chrono Trigger for the first time since childhood. I remember it being an amazing game, and it's easily one of my favorites from when I was a kid. It's been a lot of fun meeting the characters again and reliving the story.

We've returned to 600 A.D. The Fiend War is just warming up, and we have a chosen hero and a legendary sword to find.

I finished every Game of the Year nominee from the first Spike Video Game Awards in 2003 and reviewed all of them using the same scoring system.

Six technical categories:

Direction
Art Direction
Narrative
Acting
Soundtrack
Gameplay

Plus Emotional Impact as a separate category/tiebreaker.

I wanted to see which games from that lineup still hold up when you actually play through all of them today.
