After many years and wanting to complete this challenge since being a child... I completed Pokémon Blue. #PokemonBlue #Pokemon #PokemonGen1 #RetroGaming
I just completed Alentejo: Tinto's Law, very fun with a few control issues. Gun battles slow the Game Boy to an absolute crawl and are painful but the story is fairly good. A solid 2.5 out of 5. 😄 #RetroGaming #Retro #Homebrew #IndieGame #GameBoy

I decided to relive a little of my teenage years by replaying on real hardware...
A proper steal from CeX here; £4 for one of the greatest PlayStation 2 RPGs and another £4 for a well looked after official memory card! 😍😍 #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyX #PlayStation2 #RetroGames #RetroGaming

Ever wondered why it was that, whilst the Three Stooges, Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry and the Animaniacs all starred in their own PlayStation games, Mr. Bean did not?
...It's because he likely died in the events of Resident Evil 2, after a spectacularly poorly-timed holiday 😉 #gaming

I'm sad to see #RoosterTeeth shut after many years; I grew up with and greatly enjoyed the content.
Sadly I saw the writing on the wall with the loss of Achievement Hunter, all the controversy over the years and the gutting / badardisation of the Rooster Teeth podcast.
I'll miss what it was.
