Fascinated by the console that is the Sega Saturn. Born in the mid 90s but man, I wish it had been earlier. Posts mainly about older games and consoles. 1/2 of obsoletearchive.com with @thesims1.bsky.social

Leon: "Hunnigan, what's the deal with these evil castles?"

Fiona: "While you're in evil castles, can you get me out of this one?"

Alyssa: "Do you only do evil castles? What about time travel?"

Dante: "Yeah can I get an extra large pizza with pepperoni? Deliver to the evil castle."
I wonder what they are talking about

Can't believe I never got into the Bomberman games until now, played through the co-op campaign of Super Bomberman R the other night and had a lot of fun with it!

It's Psychonauts' 20th anniversary. 🧠🧠 🤯

What can you even say! It feels like yesterday butalso one hundred years ago. Double Fine took a big swing on our first game and let's be honest: we kinda nailed it?

Thank you all for your love and support over the years. We love that you love Raz so much!

Finally pulled the trigger on buying my white whale that I have been wanting to own forever when it comes to video games; Rule of Rose for the Playstation 2

Felt it was time to introduce myself to the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series, so I did as any other sane person would do; I booted up Yakuza on my Playstation 2.

I haven't gotten that far in (1.5-2 hours), but so far I'm having a good experience with the game despite being 20 years old at this point.

The SEGA Saturn will have very cool RPGs and Shmups with names like "Malfeasance Veiler" or "Lunar Stockholm" on one end and very middling platformers like "Slungo's Boyle", a 3D slog people swear by only because they remember renting it as a child multiple times to beat it

We're still scanning the game industry magazine Games Business and finding some real gems, like this interview with Superman 64 technical director Rob Stevens about what the hell went wrong.

I got to play it early, so here are my thoughts :) Link below!

Whenever Nintendo Switch Online announces new games and people are like "I've never heard of these games" as a derogatory response I'm a little bummed. Buddy you've never heard of any game until you first see something about it, it's new to you, embrace that and go exploring like with a new release.

The GBA is amazing because it was Nintendo making a brand new "retro console" in between the release of the N64 and GameCube. We had people actively making SNES style games in the 2000s and so many classic franchises got good remakes or sequels. What's your favorite GBA game?
