Echo Night (1998) via Beetle PSX HW.
Recreating of the game's intro, title screen, first intro scene.

As most would experience FROM SOFTWARE through Armored Core, King's Field, and Dark Souls, my first experience is an echo of the past.

'Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball' was released 32 years ago for the SEGA Genesis!

I remember when it came out, and for some reason I was obsessed with getting it even though I didn't have a Genesis.

I guess I just wanted any game with Sonic in it! (and a Genesis too)

Are YOU a fan of Sonic Spinball?

Quintessential sky pirate adventure #SkiesofArcadia was out 25 years ago (2000)! With a fresh take on exploration and endearing cast; the title has been a cult hit with vocal fans (like us) since; and these pirates NEED a new port to dock at! 🏴☠️

More Space Quest Month content on my YouTube channel! This time around, it's a demo for Space Quest II, originally released in 1987 along with several other demos for Sierra On-Line's AGI games.

Sierra posted this on its BBS way back in the day.

Need some 1980s arcade and console puzzlers to play? I made a pretty good list of the essentials and the games I didn't cover, but you might want to try!

Admittedly, it's a list with a lot of misfit titles, but that's sort of how that genre worked before Tetris caught on in the late 80s!

I apologise to my Spanish friends but the reason we didn’t get more Medabots in Europe was due to a Spaniard? Why am I not surprised?!

The Russian ZX Spectrum scene of the mid-late 90s is fascinating. With more powerful computers expensive and out-of-reach for most, there was a scene of dedicated strategy fans bringing demakes and unique versions of Civilization, Master of Orion, and XCOM to ZX Speccy 'Pentagon' clones.
