Mein Beitrag zum RETURN Magazin #62: Eine vierseitige Auswahl weniger bekannter, aber trotzdem sehr beachtenswerter Amiga-Spieleperlen aus den "dünnen Jahren"; sowie ein ebenfalls vierseitiger Hintergrund zum verpatzten Marktstart des Sega Saturn 1995. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! 😀 #retrogaming

Last week on vacation in Montréal, I bought this little gem at RetroMTL. Some collectors say "bad condition!!", I say: "Lovely, feels like a torch being passed on from someone who loved the game!" 🥰

So, THIS is what it should look like..? 🤣
Dani would turn in her grave though if she saw the gun... One of the reasons why the 1993 Sega Genesis sequel (Son of M.U.L.E.) was cancelled because either EA or Sega insisted on "adding guns'n'bombs" to it. www.carpeludum.com/son-of-m-u-l...

In meinen alten #Sega #MegaDrive Spielen entdecke ich gerade diese in der Kindheit geschriebenen Zettel wieder. So sah Trophäen-, Highscorelisten- und Spieledatenbankmanagement in den 90ern aus 😅

My first retrogaming indulgence this year: A rare-ish Sega Mega Drive mouse. What better game to try it with than the infamous Sega CD version of "The Secret of Monkey Island"! I recorded and uploaded new "bright" footage of the first 45min of gameplay here: youtu.be/50M7_m6n9gI

I couldn't resist any longer, so I am now finally a proud owner of an Amiga 1200 too. Before enjoying some of the exclusive AGA games, first I have to learn to play diskjockey again though - for example, 8 installation disks for the Doom clone "Nemac IV". 😅

Great work, Dall-E - so in order to not infringe on ONE copyright (Toejam&Earl), you decide to rather infringe on TWO copyrights (Monsters Inc. AND Toejam&Earl). 🤣 Aaaah, GenAI has such a long way to go...
