An old man, but one who still games - PS5 and SEGA predominantly, but partial to ZX Spectrum too
Also, a Home Assistant enthusiast
Not my thing at the time, as I preferred house music, and the tail end of hardcore/rave

But 30 years ago today, on 2nd Oct 1995 (What's The Story) Morning Glory was released

It launched to both a record-breaking first day and first week sales, spending the next 10 weeks at No1 in the album charts

Insomniac's Wolverine combat reveal was great, the combat certainly looks good

But a bit worried about the world and gameplay just following their Spider-Man blueprint though, not that that isn't great, but it has been done

Hopefully the world & its between-combat gameplay is wholly unique to this

Sorry for the X link, but this is an emergency and Bluesky doesn't let me upload video

The legendary Yuzo Koshiro performing Streets of Rage soundtrack live

Need to get more footage, preferably of the whole gig

Devil Crash is one of my favourite ever games

Devil Crash MD, to give it its full title, was a Mega Drive/Genesis port of the Devil's Crush, a PC Engine title

A censored version was later released in the west, called Dragon's Fury, which removed the word 'Devil', a pentagram, coffins & crucifixes

Netflix and YouTube can get in the bin

Sick of them pushing videos at me that I've already seen. They've removing the progress bar which shows I've already seen part or all of it

They're obviously designing a service to the benefit of their shareholders, not paying subscribers

Disappointing that Creature Commandos is unavailable in the UK

Peacemaker also had this problem, how have you done this again? ALL other Warner/HBO/Max content airs in UK on Sky Cinema/Sky Atlantic

People will just pirate it, rather than wait months

Smash TV

Released by Williams in arcades in 1990, set in a dystopian future of 1999!

The game received many home ports as Super Smash TV including for the SNES, Sega Mega Drive and even the ZX Spectrum

The 'video game' & 'computer' graphics in Terrahawks, including closing credits' naughts & crosses game are actually faked 'CG'

CAD workstation animated the graphics, each frame printed out on a 'plotter', turned into negatives & then photographed frame by frame, with coloured acetate to add colour
a video game screen shows a score of 749 points
