My #GuessTheGame #8 was the incredible AND ORIGINAL Command and Conquer, played here on PlayStation One.

A lot of near misses with Red Alert, this week but I'm afraid this one was the very first.

Have you taken on the Yōtei Six and lived to tell?

It really IS a stunning title.

I had the honour of being among the first to play Tin Hearts in VR and it's GREAT to hear it's coming natively to Meta Quest in the very near future.

One of my first game credits and this little fella has come out again to celebrate

I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to one of our new kittens. Just four weeks old but he already has a name!

All our cats have a food-related second name so Guybrush Goodsoup says "mew"

(also appropriate Blue Cross oodie)

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. I know it's early - but you have to get in there if you want it to arrive before Christmas.

Join me in having a Hooonky Goosemas! pixelmerch.co.uk/en-gbp/produ...

I'm in bed. Book in one ear (Lamplighters by Emma Stonex) and driving, driving in the other.

The sound of rain tip tapping on the roof as I pootle along my journey. How are you relaxing this evening?

Tell me what you think it is and it you get it right you could win¹!

And now I've got around to updating my #Gaming catalogue. If there's any retro games you'd like to see again, let me know!

What are YOU playing this week?

Another wet, windy and wild Monday here in Wales (no idea how it's STILL summer) so I'm diving back into the Abyss this morning with Abyssus to grab some community content and keep up to date.

Can you help me complete Dino Crisis 2? I'm playing on original PS One hardware and I am awful at video games

BUT if you like an inclusive and chill community that loves video games (especially retro games) you'd be very welcome, right now at twitch.tv/pixelbandits

It's nice to be home. And now I can actually test the GameCube that we were VERY lucky to be sent earlier in the year.

I am so lucky to be supported by such an incredible community for all my Peebsy business. Some of them really (like REALLY) wanted a Christmas Jumper, so here we are.

Are you ready for a Hooonky Goosemas?

Shares appreciated. Purchases welcomed.

Guess the Game this week was only one of my favourite video games ever made! The Curse of Monkey Island.

Not many people have heard of it these days, but a couple of you seem to remember it at least!

My last coffee én France is not as relaxed as I'd have liked it to be. But I've never chilled with one to watch the world go by at 120 miles per hour before.

Guess the Game this week will fox you! I've made this one extra tough as too many of you were getting it right.

How dare you have the audacity to forget about this game? Shame on you.

Your only penance? Come with me to re-discover it tonight from 19:30 GMT

I can't remember who it was that mentioned Kingdom: Two Crowns as a game to chill out to... But.

Today my brain has calmed down and stopped shouting at me. So thank you.

What WAS the last game you completed?

Last night I finally completed my full run on Sniper Elite 5 - in Authentic difficulty. It was a fantastic challenge but whether easy or a tough one I'd love to know the last game you managed to finish.
