Wow, this post really blew up, thanks Pepsiman!

Hi and welcome to all the new followers! I'm Max, reluctant artist, even more reluctant streamer and big fan of old games, jaggy polygons and blocky textures.

Thanks for all the follows, reposts and comments, means a lot, so stay awhile and have fun!

Perfect Dark (N64) (2000)

1/2
Joanna Dark, a special agent fighting alien conspiracies and corporate espionage with her short red hair, looking all posh with her little black earrings, currently wearing a puffy green jacket with rolled up sleeves. She's peaking behind a wall while holding her gun up (with a scope that's bigger than the gun itself) at the ready, looking into a dingy brown-green dumpster alley obstructed by a chainlink fence. I've honestly no idea what I was thinking when I was taking this screenshot, it looks like the beginning of a sewer level, but I'm lazy to take more screenshots now. A rainy cyberpunk night city with lots of gray concrete buildings and neon lights, with a futuristic cop hovercar parked nearby and a different vehicle a bit further, a limo with a peculiar design that kinda looks like Darth Vader's helmet mask thing, so I can imagine DJ Darth riding in them bling bling wheels. Trent Easton, one of the bad guys (obviously), wearing a snazzy red suit and black shirt and tie with the face texture of a very young John Travolta, looking very disappointed as he's exiting a door, possibly the bathroom and not being happy with his poop. A fancy, spacious office in the Lucerne Tower skyscraper, the HQ of the shady dataDyne corporation. The office has an almost Mayan temple design with slanted stone walls with ornaments on the sides, a large window looking at the cityscape and a desk resembling a slab for human sacrifices with a little blue computer display on top of it. As you're sent to stealthily infiltrate the building, your hovercopter loudly whooshes near the window, scaring the bejeezus out of an employee in a red dress. So far so good.

Sega Rally Championship (Saturn) (1995)

1/3
A first person view of racing through an easy left and an incoming easy right winding coastal town road with picturesque houses adorning the left side of the street while the right side has some trees and a low stone wall with a lot of people crowded on top of it and cheering you on. Not sure that's the safest place to be right now but these folks really love them some Sega Rally Championship, and I can't blame them. A closeup of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, a white, compact looking vehicle with more angular edges and blue and red stripes with the words MARTINI RACING written on the top of its windshield. Look, I don't know much about rally championships but don't drink and drive folks, even if it's in a fancy glass with olives. A close look at the Toyota Celica CT-Four, white car with red and green swooshes all around it with the camera kinda over the shoulder like it's gonna pull out its gun and get a mission report over its earpiece. The Celica drifting off course into the dirt and doing a tight left turn, barely managing to miss the low stone wall and the dense crowd behind it. At least the other team is drunk on cocktails, what's the Toyota's driver's excuse?

Urban Chaos (PS1) (2000)

1/2
D'arci Stern, a fresh new addition to the Union City Police Department. She's a badass no nonsense officer surrounded by incompetents and crime(!) so she puts on her bulletproof vest and puffy winter boots, cute rainbow colored beads on her dreadlocks and goes out to the streets to take control of the... URBAN CHAOS *dun dun dun*. D'arci is currently leaning back on the wall of the police precinct, looking upwards into the sky and doing a big sigh. It's gonna be one of those days. D'arci driving a UCPD cop car into the nightly black low draw distance fog with the silhouette of trees and buildings breaking up the horizon under the dark blue skies. A single red soda can is lying on the road, but it's not Pepsi so it's not important. Bumping into what appears to be a nice little party in a shady alley behind some dumpsters with two fellas and one lady standing over a guy that probably just decided to lie down and take a nap on the disgustingly dirty ground and they're trying to tickle him to wake up while rummaging through his pockets, not looking for any valuables. A concerned citizen in a black and white jacket and jeans and mighty mutton chops approaches you to ask if there's anything you can do to help him with his head being extremely horizontally squished. D'arci is all like sir I'm just a police officer.

Iblard: Laputa no Kaeru Machi (PS1) (1997)

1/2
A young man reads his grandfather's fantasy book about the wondrous land of Iblard, a green lush world of floating islands or laputas, magic and pastel colors and is soon isekai'd into Iblard via a floating train, very similar to the one depicted here. We see a vast meadow stretching into the horizon under bright blue skies and a few hedges and rocks surrounding a nearby shrubby platform with some thin trees, serving as a train station platform for an art deco hover train that slides on floating transparent crystals. It's all very pastel colored and magical. ✨ A dense forest path leading to a big chunk of rock with a golden symbol of the crescent moon on it and the cutest little orange fox creature standing on top of it, observing you from above and look so proud at the idea of being taller than you even though it's just standing on a tall rock. A colorful garden with purple, green and orange hills in the far distance and an igloo-shaped purple hut with glass windows serving as the home of a cute purple dinosaur creature with Pikachu eyes. It's like if a velociraptor was a cute little squishy huggable guy. It's standing in front of the doorway of its home, looking at you kinda concerned because you're obviously eyeing the shiny blue crystal that's displayed on the cupboard. It looks just like a brick of the deepest blue crystal meth you've ever seen and it's curiously looking just like the magical artifact that brought you to Iblard in the first place. After some adventuring, the cute orange fox brings you to a peculiar shrub that turns out to be a gentle giant forest man covered in grass and shrub with thick shrubby eyebrows, gentle squinting eyes, puffy nose and majestic shrubby mustache. He's also my avatar for this profile! He only speaks the forest language that sounds right out of The Black Lodge and then he gives you a brick of pure blue meth. Perhaps drugs will help you understand his cosmic language (I'm confident it will).

Happy New Year!
The world may be dark and difficult but being loving, kind and supportive brings a light and hope that's immeasurably stronger than any evil.
I wish you all the will and strength to achieve everything you set your mind to and all the opportunities and luck you deserve, 'coz you do!
Solid Snake and Spider-Man doing a Super Sentai pose like they're pulling on a bow and arrow while Bubsy and Crash Bandicoot are raising their arms, smiling and Sonic the Hedgehog is lounging on his side on the snowy ground, looking all cool. The centerpiece of this Christmas coolness is Pepsiman taking a sip out of a Pepsi can in front of a cute ornate Christmas tree with a big golden star on top. They're all gathered in front of the little wooden cabin at the bottom of the Nintendo DS version of SM64's Cool, Cool Mountain, illuminated by the tree in various colors, making it look even more festive. Wishing you a lovely 2026!

Bulk Slash (Saturn) (1997)

1/2
A beautiful oceanside city is being besieged by a giant green spider mech with four diagonal cannons on it's top (two on each side) with a little red center that kinda looks like a frowny face if you squint long enough. The spider mech has enveloped the city highrises as if the buildings are its babies. It just wants to protecc! You are Cress Dawley (sounds like an Asimov character), an SDF pilot of a transforming mech that's currently flying head on towards the enemy and doing that target lock on thing where you're about to send a barrage of missiles at it, a veritable Itano Circus if you will. In the upper left corner is a portrait cam of your M.I.S.S. navigator (of which you can unlock quite a few, one Leone Rhodes, looking at you sternly for trying to separate the spider mama from her few million human babies trapped in their skyscrapers. A close look at another spider mech boss fight, this time a huge silver and gold mech with small green and cyan lights scattered on its armor. It's got very cute bright orange suction cups for legs, like its mama put on shoes for it before going to its first day of school. The spider mech also has two very big guns sticking out of its center like little hands, but instead of being grabby or stabby, they're more of the shooty kind. Traversing a high tech factory of sorts with an absolutely massive chad turret unit relentlessly spraying pink energy bullets at you. You are however perfectly fine because you're standing behind a wall of light pink and light blue spikes turned towards the enemy as if to guard and protect you, threatening the asshole turret that's bullying you right now. I interpret it as an metaphor on how your trans friends will fight tooth and nail for you because they're some of the strongest and bravest people that have ever existed so cherish your trans friends because they deserve it and they will stab your enemies with sharp spikes. Doing a space ballet, in space, strafing along the sides of a beautiful chunky purple battleship and assessing all its turrets, missile launchers and weak spots, jotting it down on your mech notepad so you can later shower them with Christmas gifts (missiles) and hugs (explosions).

Dreams (PS1) (1998)

1/2
Not to be but should totally be confused with Dreams to Reality, the PC DOS and Windows game also made by Cryo and having the same basic concept and characters but being two pretty different games. You play as Duncan, a fit bald man with a very very long whippy ponytail, stripy red and black shirt and short shorts, looking like he's just come back from work as a fitness instructor. Duncan finds himself in the world of Dreams, a world of puffy purple clouds and earthy floating islands with red checkered patterns on the ground and like a picnic lunchbox just sitting there on one of the floating platforms, taunting you to take it. In the world of Dreams anything is possible, so Duncan morphs into a blue hulky version of himself with huge blobby hands and a tiny tiny head. The art direction in this game is all over the place, with the main character now having textures on his torso (to show off the abs) but completely vertex colored hands. I guess it's time to mention the general idea and HUD of the game - there's an alarm clock in the upper right corner, periodically ringing and giving you the ability to shift into another form, a muscly blue hulk and a sexy almost naked redhead, with their portraits showing up in the top part of the screen. The portrait of the hulk form looks like a wiggly blue sperm guy with. Speaking of, your lives are also shown as three ball sacks with a single curly strand of hair sticking out of each one. Hey, don't blame me, I tell it as I see it. The sexy girl Duncan apparently wearing nothing but short white underpants is standing with her hands on her hips in the middle of a dark hall with high support beams and a gigantic spider in the middle, made out of yellow and red segments with no textures, just a somewhat brightly colored monster looking very confused as to how it found itself in this alien textured world. Speaking of alien and textured, this is a helicopter with the body of a thick boy holding the front wheels with his hands while his lower half is just a helicopter. It's like if Cartman was a helicopter. It's a Cartmantaurcopter. Look at it soar!

Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (NDS) (2009)

1/2
An adventurer armed with nothing but a stick and bulletproof naivete arrives at a village at the base of the eponymous Firetop Mountain, a former dwarven keep, now the home of the evil warlock Zagor (not to be confused with one Zagor Tenay, the Spirit with the Hatchet and lord of Darkwood... yeah I see you Bonelli comics fans 👍). We see a dwarven merchant carrying his heavy bag of digging equipment on his back next to his fruit stand, thinking up the ways he can swindle this fresh nincompoop. Your wooden stick has a peculiar design that's literally -:- but sideways, so it kinda looks like a pog face with a big line on its forehead or if you look at it sideways it looks like Huitzil from Darkstalkers. A beautiful forest dirt path with a wooden fence on the right side, with various types of flat tree textures scattered about and a nice clear blue sky up above. The art direction in this game really feels like a modern indie game that's trying to evoke PS1 aesthetics but still have some modern additions like higher texture resolutions and such. You could've told me this is a screenshot from Call of Saregnar and I'd believe you, though that game has a tighter and more realistic art direction. Also seriously, add Call of Saregnar to your wishlist ✨ Entering the lower caves and dungeons of the mountain, we arrive at a dwarven workshop slash kitchen slash World War II bunker with wooden barrels and crates, support beams, lanterns, lots of tools, axes, pans and knives, a desk with a map and a barefoot ginger dwarf man with a kind of a makeshift hammer and pure white eyes, hands covered in dirt, looking very mean, possibly because he's living in a cave. Encountering one of Zagor's orks, a mean green slicin' machine with spiky armor and a curvy, spiky sickle like weapon that looks like a video game developer logo from the early 2000s. He's blocking the passage through a mine shaft and assuming an attack stance because your left hand is glowing radioactively light blue, meaning it's time for grabby hands, the hand is gonna grab ya!

Addie No Okurimono - To Moze from Addie (PS1) (2000)

1/5
The titular Addie, an almost 9-year-old redhead girl wearing a pink dress opens her window and sees Moze, her blonde friend who is sitting on a branch of the tree he just climbed, wearing his gray cap, green shirt and pants with suspenders and holding a little music box, a present he wants to give Addie as a parting gift as his family has to move. Addie has just opened her window and is looking surprised to see her friend this late at night with only the full moon and the glow from her room illuminating Moze's face. Gosh this game looks so lovely and cute and like a book with watercolor illustrations. A closeup of Moze's sister, Emmy, a black-haired girl with a thin white headband, wearing a purple dress with a white collar, sitting at a nice table overlooking the ocean. Emmy looks kinda melancholy and sad, elbows on the table with her chin resting on her hands, possibly because of her family moving. A purple, hazy dreamscape, a sunflower field and a singular majestic sunflower sticking out and slowly rocking in the gentle wind. It's worth mentioning that the game has a very strong motion blur effect that adds tremendously to the dream-like vibes but it also makes it harder to take a clean screenshot. 👀 I bet you didn't realize but this is actually a puzzle game! Emmy visits Addie late at night and gives her a Loglock as an early birthday present, a rotating word puzzle device looking like a mini version of Gwildor's Galctic Key from the He-Man movie, just a golden cylinder with lots of letters all around. The puzzles get super mind-bending very fast and I'm bad at it, but at least currently it's just one of the easier three-letter ones. We see Addie on the right, now in a beautifully drawn 2D anime, kinda Ghibli style, stretching and cracking her fingers, preparing to solve the shnizzle out of this puzzle. Above the Loglock we see a cute rotating brown cow and the words Cow -> Cat above it. You see, in her dreams, Addie finds herself in a parallel world where her Loglock can transform one thing into another just by changing the word or name of said thing. Thus, change cow into cat.

Snowboard Kids (N64) (1998)

1/2
Snowboard Kids, or what if we took the original Mario sprite with his big big nose and turned him into a cool spiky haired snowboarder. A closeup of Slash Kamei, the aforementioned coolboarder zipping down a snowy downhill slope. The more I think about this the more it doesn't make sense, it's like an industrial downhill chute with thick metal pillars and steel girders on top, with the night city being visible on the horizon. I kinda thought it might be like railway bridge but it's to curvy and winding to be anything useful really, not to mention dangerous. Just the kind of place Slash would bring his opponents. A closeup of Nancy Neil, a friendly and cute snowboarder wearing a pink suit and rabbit ears and a big pink heart on her cheek (her face!, get yer mind out of the gutter). She's swooshing down a lovely snowy slope safely fenced by red guardrails with snowy hills and trees seen beyond it and a clear blue sky. Nancy shifting scenes for a bit, going down a grassy hill past some rocks and next to a bridge, running straight into a river, with a lovely white windmill, its rotor blades looking extremely smudgy and low res. Even though we can't see her face, Nancy seems to be in a mild state of panic on account a little speech bubble appearing over her head with a single "!" in it. Should Dirk the Daring take the safety of the bridge or attempt a jump over the river? Is there enough time to do both? What would YOU do? (it's a Dragon's Lair tv series reference that nobody will get)

Die Hard Arcade (Saturn) (1997)

1/4
John McClane in his signature blue jacket (?) and green cargo pants (!?) running through an office corridor with his famous blonde female partner Kris Thompsen (?!?) in her cool white and red jacket and purple pants, doing whatever is they both do in that movie. John, being pissed off for having lost his blue jacket arrives at a large parking lot with some thugs loitering at the disabled parking spot, pulls out his gun and drops one of the fools on the spot. Oh wait, there are terrorists in the building? I don't think McClane's been informed of the situation yet. A closeup of the terrorist leader Wolf "White Fang" Hongo, a suave man wearing a bright purple shirt and purple necktie, sitting on a comfy office chair and talking on a walkie-talkie and ordering his henchmen to find the president's daughter. He looks remarkably like Billy Mitchell (gamer) if he was older and had a white beard and long bald man mullet, a skullet if you will. I wrote "Billy Mitchell (gamer)" because that's how Wikipedia refers to him. Billy Mitchell (asshole) might be more apt. Mr. Hongo is putting his feet up on a big presidential desk in a comfy presidential chair, talking to his subordinates over the wire while looking at a massive portrait of what I can only describe as Dr. Robotnik if he was a politician. What ol' White Fang doesn't realize is: 1. The president's daughter has been hiding in the desk cabinet this whole time. 2. She's got a very small face like a chihuahua. 3. She's just as tiny as a chihuahua.

Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams (Saturn) (1996)

1/4
NiGHTS the cute androgynous jester, formerly a Nightmaren created by Wizeman the Wicked, ruler of Nightmare, rebelled and decided to defend Nightopia from the dark nightmares seeking to rule the dreaming and waking world. It's all very biblical. We see them flying through a magical winter wonderland, doing magical twirls, with a beautiful snowy mountain range lit by an eerie green-ish dusk light with the starry sky and a gorgeous huge yellow moon hovering above. Another closeup of NiGHTS flying over the snowy mountains and leaving a magical trail of blue sparkles as they woosh past a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. A more accurate look at the game's busy screens, filled with snow, sparkles, magic floating rings made out of decorative garlands and ribbons, bursting in a vivid explosion of particles and bright colors, it's just a joy to fly through even though it can get all messy and hard to process what's going on. Flying through a rainbowy, psychedelic landscape with dark purple skies, bright purple ground filled with, let's say sploches and clusters of Predator-vision colors with scattered spiky plants, colorful unboxed presents and floating crystals. It's the battleground of the Gillwing boss fight, although it still looks calm and peaceful here since he hasn't appeared yet.

Alone in the Dark: One-Eyed Jack's Revenge (AitD2) (PS1) (1996)

This is just a beautiful and very festive and jolly game so I'll post a ton of screenshots.

1/5
A rare look at the original untextured low poly model of one of our original heroes, private detective Edward Carnby, this time gaining a few pounds and shaving his glorious mustache after the terrifying events of the first game but still retaining his insane, distant look in his eyes. On the right side of the screen we see the developer credits shown while the jaunty intro song is playing with the top credit shown as Roughman - Thomas Chanel. In my headcannon a "roughman" is a person that jumbles up and makes some of the game more crummy and rough looking to keep up with the French aesthetic, because this game is very French and very rough. After the credits we are introduced with the new and "improved" Mr. Carnby with brand new textures for his dapper blue suit and a completely new head with more details and a better look at his sleek ginger hair, thick eyebrows and angry disposition, looking like the spitting image of Ron Mael from the Sparks, only without the little 'stache. As he arrives at the cursed mansion, Mr. Carnby is greeted by a cavalcade of zombie mobsters shooting their tommy guns at him as he proclaims "I feel awful... Really awful!" Me too Mr. Carnby, me too. Carnby, now equipped with a tommy gun as well, has found himself in a hedge maze and arriving at a crypt entrance. He's ambushed by one Jeremiah Johnson Tecker aka Shorty Leg, named on account of his custom made peg leg with a freakin' gun on its end so he raises his leg every time he wants to shoot. This was 13 years before Bayonetta! Edward is shooting furiously at ol' zombie Shorty Leg and yelling "Roast in hell!" Ed needs to work on his one liners.

Soul Blade (PS1) (1996)

1/2
Hwang, a handsome Korean swordsman wearing a neon green and orange warrior hanbok dress, orange headband and very vertical thick brown spiky hair, looking like an anime Bart Simpson. He's going an angry yell while doing a two-handed horizontal slice with his sword, swinging it so hard he managed to pop out his left hand like a LEGO figurine which is still attached to his sword. A thick bamboo forest with a white torii gate and a surreal horizon behind it showing the solid brown soil and a beautiful blue gradient sky. The beautiful and deadly ninja Taki, wearing her alternate purple body suit is doing a swift low attack with her short ninja sword, sweeping her opponent, one Nathaniel William "Rock" Adams, a tall, burly, half-naked man wearing a bear pelt and wielding the largest axe you ever did see, looking like a barbarian ripped straight out of Golden Axe. Taki's sweeping attack has knocked Rock off his feet who is currently in the air, in the process of falling on his ample bottom and serendipitously freeze-framed on his bulging crotch facing straight into the cold eye of the camera. An epic battle at an ancient Greek temple with huge olympian statues basked in the beautiful pink light under a starry sky. The fierce Greek warrior, Sophitia Alexandra looking like an Amazonian warrior princess, wielding the holy Omega Sword and her trusty shield is currently sitting on Mitsurugi's face between her thighs and is about to break the lucky man's neck. Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold. A beautiful South Korean temple, with a big open square in front of the entrance, is the home of the beautiful warrior Seong Mi-Na, wearing a bright pink headband, vest and leggings and green-and-orange top and skirt and is very proficient with the naginata, a polearm weapon with a big curved blade on one end. The battle hasn't even started yet with Seung Mi-Na halfway into a high-kick which gives a glimpse at her panties to her opponent, the blonde preppy virgin knight Siegfried Schtauffen, which completely knocks him off his feet and sends him flying into a total knockout, his face a depiction of complete and total defeat. The only thing missing is a fountain of blood gushing from Siegfried's nose.

Zero Divide (PS1) (1995)

1/3
Hackers led by XTAL stole sensitive data from governments all around the world and are threatening to release it all public but as a dare they're inviting them to a cyberspace battle to try and break the hackers' defenses in which case they'll drop their threats. The hubris of l33t h4xx0rz will always be their downfall. So we enter the XTAL Tower, a cyberspace fortress, with programs represented as cool fighting robots as you try and defeat them all and do a shift+del on XTAL itself. We see Zero, the blue and white armored robot program, doing a kick at a reddish-gray scorpion-like bot called Tau, although both the low-poly designs and their moves are often very disjointed and it's hard to parse what's actually happening on screen half the time. In the background, a giant screen with a polygonal Master Control Program-ass looking face (presumably XTAL itself) is watching your every move and shooting witty quips at you. A military looking green-brown-orange robot called Wild3, carrying a big gun and a freakin' knife in the other hand is confronted by Io, a feline fembot, with a Batman-like mask and pink cat ears with sharp golden claws and wearing robot high heels as robots often do. She's assumed a scratching stance that'll scratch Wild3's memory onto a scratch disk! A tropical jungle in cyberspace, probably cyber-symbolizing an area near the mainframe CPU that's very hot and probably water cooled. Cygnus the purple-and-gold ninja-bot is rushing towards the white-and-red dragon-bot Draco. He's doing a swoosh with his light blue laser-katana in the hopes of crushing some of that thick thighs armor Draco is carrying around irresponsibly. A cool thing to note is that you don't see the robots' names near the health bars, only their logos, giving the already stylish presentation an even more WipEout kind of feel. Another cool thing is that all of the robots can have their armor destroyed, showing their robotic endoskeleton underneath. Also sorry about some of the garbled UI, not sure what happened there. 👀 A closeup of Nereid, a multi-limbed beast with big claws and weapon drills that's also kind of a cutey with its pink and purple paintjob and doing its growl, showing its little teethies, looking all angy.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (N64) (1996)

1/2
The Battle of Hoth, a defensive mission to stall the Imperial assault until all the rebel forces leave Echo Base. We see our hero flying a snowspeeder dangerously close to the kinda camel shaped AT-AT metal monsters while rogue leader is constantly yelling in his ear to fire the damn tow cable, which he did and he's wrapping it around the AT-AT's legs and he's doing great so shut it rogue leader. Wow the Empire really did hire the worst techbros to design their machines, they all have glaring flaws and weak spots. I just wanna mention this is one of my favorite games ever (I played the PC version back in the day), it's janky and often unfairly difficult but it's got a bit of somethin' somethin' there. The dashing Dash Rendar, rendered in ultra detailed low-poly, faithfully showing his rugged looks, sleek mullet and puffy brown life jacket. He's standing in front of a frosty barren wall of Echo Base, visually distinctive by its vast, endless halls with stretched textures and repeating patterns, giving the surroundings a very lonely, liminal space feel. Dash's ship, the Outrider flying through an asteroid field and getting very close to an Imperial Star Destroyer. The Outrider kinda looks like a baby version of the Millennium Falcon with a similar saucer and asymmetrical design philosophy, but with a neat trick of being able to rotate the central part and its extended left arm, or was that just the toys I can't remember. A closeup of an IG-88 assassin droid, a very lanky, robot with a penis-shaped head wielding some kinda laser rifle, being very determined to fry Mr. Rendar's ass.

Dead or Alive (Saturn) (1997)

1/3
A quaint beach house basked in the setting sun, making the ocean appear like liquid gold and the skies deep red. It seems like Zack the funky DJ was playing some crap on the beach and is currently rising backflip kicked by Kasumi the kunoichi because she doesn't appreciate the finer subtleties of electro-swing music. Beautifully deep blue SEGA skies with puffy white clouds gliding over a traditional Chinese castle with a vast courtyard, currently serving as the battlegrounds for Lei Fang, the Taiji Quan prodigy and American pro wrestler diva Tina Armstrong who is doing a jumping hammer kick, just inches away from Lei's face who at this very moment still hasn't realized what's coming. Jann Lee, a Jeet Kune Do fighter is doing his best Andy Kaufman impersonation during his wrestling days, punching Tina Armstrong on the street, in the middle of the city with the largest billboard on the building across spelling out "WOMEN'S PRO WRESTLING". A fierce battle of minds, bodies and philosophies is happening in this quaint, lovely park where Zack the funky DJ has lunged with a forward punch, only to be greeted by the shadowy swiftness of the legendary ninja Ryu Hayabusa who is doing the secret Hayabusa clan handstand buttfist grab, making Zack believe that he got the upper (or lower as it is now) hand but has actually been trapped by the rock-solid buttcheeks of the ninja master.

A novel idea in the realm of racing games - what if, instead of vehicles, we have anthropomorphic animals, running on their own two feet! The selection screen showing the six contestants, currently having chosen the sexy bunny girl Gwynne in her late 90s / early 2000s disco revival outfit, lowering her purple cat-eye sunglasses thinking "you don't impress-a me much" while the orange fires of hell are burning behind her. (she's that hot) I'm sorry but Lola Bunny altered the chemical composition of our collective craniums just a couple of years prior so of course Gwynne is hot. A closer look at the level select screen, the planet with small island dioramas representing all the environments you can compete in, currently hovering over the Arctic with sore rock sticking out in the middle, some trees and a ship marooned inland. However, having Gwynne the rabbit visit the Arctic was a bad idea because her hotness transformed it into a sweltering red hot lava land! A desert dirt road stomped by Coronado the bull who is wearing a red toreador's outfit, adorning the uniform of his human enemy after he killed him, now feeling tremendous remorse and is running head first into a very small body of water so all he'll manage to do is get a nice bath really.

Death Crimson (Saturn) (1996)

1/2
After posting one of the most beautiful low-poly games with MegaMan Legends, I thought why not post one of the ugliest, most horrid creations, just to balance it out. I'm of course talking about Death Crimson, the king of kusogē aka "shit games", a rail shooter with staggeringly low variety and even lower quality standards in any department, but that just adds to its charm. We see a small, perhaps Mediterranean town with overall three types of small houses (certainly too small for any of the human-like enemies to live in or even enter through the door), now infested by small Lovecraftian frog-like bat creatures and beautiful blonde soldiers with those gorgeous anime boy eyes, wearing either a classic green camo soldier's uniform or just a jumbled mess of pixels, I'm not sure. If you zoom in closely to one of he gray houses you'll see they all have the sign "MINORX" over their front doors, probably and rightfully signifying that you should keep this game as far away from kids as possible. A dark blood red sky looming over an old castle with a big fountain in front of it with a pillar with an old family crest and the word "Ecole" written under it (the name of the game dev company). We see a group of four medieval knights with short green skirts standing guard and waiting to be shot by your weird blue and yellow rectangle sights thing. We can also see a few grub-like floating penis creatures with sharp scythes on their backs, probably an on the nose symbolization of "la petite mort". An even more baffling thing is what appears to be a flying squirrel, showing its belly and long tail and just floating there, looking all cheerful. We shift our adventure to a tropical jungle with lots of palm trees adorning the green river bank, with some additional ruins and three floating tribesmen just hovering fixated in the air in a squatting position, wearing dark purple triangular outfits, all Sub-Zero like, with golden necklaces and masts that are half black-and-red and half-white-and-black. Now I'll be honest, after playing through most of this game in the Yaba Sanshiro 2 emulator the game froze and got all garbled so I thought I'd see the rest of it on a YouTube longplay, and then I realized some of the graphics in these screenshots might not be fully 100% accurate (though this one seems fine) but I promise if you didn't know about it, you wouldn't notice because it's all just so grubby and nasty looking. One of the main bosses, a green broccoli dragon with awesome blue shorts with red and yellow flames drawn on them. He's surrounded by his friends, flying toad bats, an orb with teeth and an eye in its mouth and like the stardrive section of a Star Trek Constitution class ship without the saucer section, I don't know how else to describe it.

Mega Man Legends (PS1) (1997)

1/2
The yellow and red sunfish-shaped Flutter, a small airship and home of our heroes, gently floating through the beautiful blue skies with a few puffy clouds scattered about. Below we see a vast ocean that stretches beyond the horizon, a world covered in water with a few island nations. What if Waterworld... but robots? There's an ancient cylindrical structure sticking out of the ocean, probably a chimney that contributed to the climate change from the previous civilization. Our heroes, MegaMan Volnutt, a dark haired boy with his signature blue armor and next to him at the helm of the Flutter, Roll Caskett, a blonde girl with spiky Knuckles the Echidna style hair, wearing a red uniform and big red hat. They look happy and carefree, eager to get to their next adventure in this perpetually dying, ocean-covered hellscape. Man this game looks gorgeous all these years later, just a beautiful anime style art direction with clear, brightly colored shapes and characters, it's beautiful! MegaMan being startled by a massive Reaverbot, an ancient gray-ish robot six little legs, big chunky body, drills for hands and a knight's helmet shaped head with a big red eye and ridges on its face that give it a menacing, skeletal look. It's missing one of its arms, probably due to being so old. (that's what happens when you get old, kids) Though huge and evil looking, its skeletal smile hints at it maybe, possibly being a cuddly friend? MegaMan doesn't wait to find out and jumps off of the ledge into the ocean. (but actually lands on the Flutter and escapes) A beautiful forest clearing with bright green grass, quite the contrast to a disturbing situation of an old man being cornered by a police officer and an inspector that looks like if Inspector Gadget got old and fat and grew mustache. They're here to arrest the old man, one professor Barrell Caskett under suspicion of exploiting his granddaughter and adopted grandson by sending them on dangerous adventures for his own fame and profit.

Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition (Saturn) (1996)

1/3
If Fighters Megamix has taught us anything, it's that the Daytona cars, especially the red #19 Hornet, have some sort of sentience and autonomy (and are also bad drunks and always wanna fight) so we see the Hornet going fast, inspired by the giant rock carved mural on the cliff above of the Blue Blur, the dude with the 'tude and famous sensual lover, Sonic the Hedgehog. "If Sonic can go fast", thought Hornet, "then I have to go SUPER fast!" as it zooms into a left winding curve through a beautiful evergreen forest. The green #33 Magic car at its starting position, ready to go but it looks like the huge starting lights are falling down and about to crush the unsuspecting car! Oh my god, it's a mirage I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabotage! The smooth black #8 Phoenix driving through a wide downhill road with lots of cute colorful houses stacked down like a staircase on the sides of the road. We can see some more buildings in the distance and the road having lots of gaps and unrendered polygons. The Phoenix is driving so fast that even the world doesn't have enough time to materialize! The white-yellow-green #2 Max car has entered the pit-stop and is just taking a break and hanging out with some dudes, procrastinating while it's all bumped up and falling apart with big yellow letters saying "PIT WORK!" Honestly, the car has my name and describes me perfectly.

Fighter's Destiny (N64) (1998)

1/2
A dark and gloomy night, the dim pink skies pierced by a massive pyramidal mountain in the distance. Nearby, two Japanese guardian statues observe the cobblestone arena surrounded by blood-red flames with two warriors locked in a battle of might and grit. On the left, a man with a bun (a man bun) wearing a traditional Japanese attire, red shirt and purple puffy pants. He wears a red mask, kinda like a ninja. I wonder what his name is? (It's Ninja. His name is Ninja.) His opponent, approaching sneakily behind the ninja named Ninja is one Ryuji, aptly named because he looks almost exactly like Ryu without the shirt and headband. He's all hunched over, leaning towards Ninja's plump ass, trying to smell his farts and asses his opponent's fighting level. It's over NINE THOUS... oh forget it. Pierre the clown (who is a clown) doing a super-fast dash and left hook punch, taking like half of Ninja's health in the process. Pierre has been trained in the secret ways of the French Clown fighting style, recognizable for its trickery, lack of rules and bad breath. A clear sunny day in the Sahara desert and a serendipitous meeting of two people. Valerie, a white haired lady with sophisticated tastes, wearing a light purple outfit with no sleeves and short shorts, fingerless gloves and thigh-high boots, is gently moving forward, extending her hand to give Bob a gentle kiss. On the other hand, Bob, a burly ex-military man with a dark purple tanktop and blue camo pants is startled by Valerie's advances, so much so that he's flailing his legs and arms all over the place, dislocating his left arm and snapping his neck forward in the process, giving Valerie a flawless victory. The player select screen showing a diverse selection of world heroes from martial artists, wrestlers, clowns and the Mongolian fighter Abdul, wearing a white turban with one ornate feather taken from the elusive gay bird (the feather shines in all the colors of the rainbow).

Metal Gear Solid (PS1) (1998)

1/3
Rugged man David aka Solid Snake, one of the most capable and effective soldiers of the special forces unit FOXHOUND, sent on a covert sneaking mission to stop some nuclear bomb terrorist plot or something. Dave's having none of it so he decided to go in guns a' blazing with a FAMAS rifle and even told the camera man to get closer to a modern shoulder cam position. He's going to miss the dog sledding championship and they pulled him out of retirement for this?! So he put on his trusty bandana and went Rambo on everyone's ass. A darkly lit decrepit basement with a weirdo nerd wearing one of those cheap muscle anatomy body suits from Amazon but then spent a fortune on a Power Rangers replica helmet so his ninja cosplay is a Frankenstein's monster of metallic blue, fleshy orange bits. He looks like he's standing in front of a mirror, trying to take a cool selfie while holding a kitchen knife instead of a katana and looking all stiff and unnatural but looks cool as heck in his mind. The culmination of the Genome Soldier program, the epitome of a warrior infused with the genes of greatest soldier of the 20th century, one Johnny Sasaki, sitting on a toilet and taking a dump, fully clothed, effectively pooping his pants and looking very giddy and excited about it. Snake sees an occupied toilet and instinctively barges in, becoming disgusted by the sight of his genetic brother being so stupid and drags Johnny out of the loo, knocks him out, strips him naked, knocks him out, puckers his butt and gets up close and personal you know what I'n not really sure where I was going with this but I'm just gonna stop right here. Snake is inspecting a man's pooper which is tastefully pixelated and that's that.
