Let me make this introduction.
My biggest passion is video gaming. I have re-kindled my love for retro games that I enjoyed as a young lad. My favorites are SNES and GB/A, but I've dabbled in pretty much everything.

Another awesome #indie game with great 2D pixel graphics that inspire this week's project.

I wanted to see the story of #HalfLife through for a long time now, and I'm able to finally stick with it until the end.
Hats off to #CrowbarCollective for bringing polish to this legendary classic.

I love #indiegames, sometimes for their simplicity or creativity, but mainly for awesome 2D sprites.
#BotVice is one of those titles. Once I saw this, I had to try this out for myself & I've been making some progress.
But remember: Winners roll a lot!

Been steadily making my way through #BlackMesa this week since picking it up on the summer sale.
I've never actually finished the original #HalfLife, but I am sooooo close. I was playing till 1am and I still couldn't seal the deal.

More summer time off and enjoying it like the old geek I am. That includes relaxing with a hot cup of coffee (with a drop or two of Irish Cream), delicious treats from #KrispyKreme & retro video games. ☕✌️😄🎮

Ok, since I haven't purchased PC games on a big sale like this, I find it worth mentioning as I got some good deals (for me anyway)...
Steam: Half-Life, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Skullgirls 2nd Encore, Black Mesa, Blasphemous, Undertale

Found myself achievement hunting through #AirZonk (PCE) yesterday. Even had to replay stage 4 since the Wi-Fi was off the first time. Now only to beat stage 5 and complete the game.

This little Super Meat Boy stand-ie has been completed and ready to give all the Thumbs-Up for those who need it! 🥩👍
I re-designed the saw blade base so it wasn't as large as it was initially looking, and it came out super well.

I'd hate to admit that I got a little stuck in the prologue, but once I got the sword and some of the Golem fist upgrades, I could not put it down.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for this type of fantasy adventure.

Looking for ideas on some projects to do, and I can't believe I didn't think of Super Meat Boy before.
A simple but unique (and instantly lovable) character. And who can deny that smile? 😁

I put down #Hob for a time as I found I was struggling to get it started.
I've since picked it up again over the weekend and something just 'clicked'!
I'm about half way through and I can't put it down.
Anyone play this title and what are your thoughts?

An unexpected bit of a fun time with this one. Love the roaring 50 vibe of the game.
It had me thinking; what if GTA1 was remade in this style and I think I can totally see it. I would be down for a GTA London 1969 mod in this engine. 💂♂️

14.5 hrs & 3300+ ☠️, but I loved every bit of it.
I had to resort to assist mode at the very end, but I take no shame being the old man gamer that I am. ✌️👴🎮

Chapter 5, I found was quite enjoyable. Then chapter 6 brought me back to reality, but I persevered and liked the 'boss fight'!
