Today's look: Link-core. Not only due to that Nintendo announcement of the LoZ film, but also because my furnace is being an ass and it's colder than an Ice Keese here.
All I'm missing now is a sword and a shield. And maybe Din's Fire 😝

Happy 23rd birthday to Kingdom Hearts! I got this game and my PS2 on Christmas of 2003 and instantly fell in love with it.
What was your favourite world in this one? Honestly, it's a tie between Halloweentown and Hollow Bastion; both are excellent worlds to explore 😁

Good morning! It's your weekly reminder to stop doom scrolling and start playing retro games!
This week's game is Gran Turismo 2 for the PS1. Loved this game as a kid 😁. That Escudo Pikes Peak Version car is BEASTLY 😈.
Do you have any fond memories of this game? #retrogames

Had a bit of a break, but we're back with the weekly reminders! So, stop doom scrolling & start playing retro games!
30 years ago, Chrono Trigger - arguably the GOAT of RPGs - released here in NA. I didn't play it until the release of FF Chronicles. Have you played CT? If not, GO PLAY IT! 😁☕

When Cloud did this at the very end of FFVII. It's the moment he freed himself from Sephiroth's influence and finally took steps to be his own person, scars and all. At least, that's how I interpret it in my head 😅

Birthday presents! I'm especially stoked about the Sonic puzzle and building the Going Merry. The Lego succulents were my wife's idea - I can't grow plants in my office due to the lack of sunlight, so she found these as an alternative 😁☕

Today marks 38 years to the day that the first Metal Gear game was released! Considered the first stealth action game, the series would go on to redefine the genre for decades to come, and cemented the legacy of creator, Hideo Kojima.
Mildly related, today's also my 38th birthday, so... 🎉🎂

Happy 25th anniversary to Final Fantasy IX! Eschewing the techno/steampunk aesthetic from VII & VIII, IX returns to its high fantasy roots with an engaging story, colourful characters and tight gameplay.

Yeah, sure, the gaming industry is reeling right now. But you know what won't change? Retro games 😉🎮
This week's retro game is the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES. It's the one that revitalized the gaming industry way back in '85 and a reminder that we've come back from the brink before. ☕
