I made a Duck Hunt dress! 😊 I loved this game growing up and am so happy I can play it again on my CRT. Admittedly, I wasn’t very good at it and, like many other kids, got way too close to the screen to hit the ducks. 🤭

Happy 40th Birthday to Samus and Metroid, released in Japan August 6, 1986! 🥳 The NES release followed August 15, 1987. Metroid revolutionized non-linear exploration over linear gameplay and remains one of the most influential games ever made.

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be a guest at Game & Geek Expo on Sept. 5th and 6th at the Raleigh Convention Center! It’s my first time being a convention guest & I can’t wait! I’ll be there all weekend meeting fans, talking about classic games, sharing gaming memories, & being a cosplay judge!

I beat Final Fantasy I on stream on original NES hardware and officially made @Twitch Partner this week! 💜 My Final Fantasy journey started with this cartridge so many years ago, and it felt especially meaningful to reach this milestone while revisiting where this revered franchise began!

Final Fantasy X turns 25 today, and it’s still one of the best places to start if you’ve never played a Final Fantasy! 🥳 Released for PlayStation 2 in Japan on July 19, 2001, FFX follows summoner Yuna and her guardians as they journey across the unforgettable world of Spira to defeat Sin.

Did anyone have the Jurassic Park NES game or any of the original toys? This Dilophosaurus toy from the original Jurassic Park was my “alarm clock” as a kid. 🤭 My dad got it for me and thought it was hilarious to wake me up by pulling its arm so it roared in my ear. 😆

Did you have any of the Nintendo holiday decorations from Eureka growing up? I recently sorted through an old computer box I hadn’t opened since the 2000s. Inside were my senior year binder, my long-lost copy of the Jurassic Park novel… and a folded-up Zelda II Halloween decoration I forgot about!!

Happy 35th Birthday to the Blue Blur! 🥳 Sonic the Hedgehog released in the U.S. for the Sega Genesis on June 23, 1991, and in Japan on July 26, 1991. Developers Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara helped create Sega’s mascot to compete with Nintendo’s Mario.

Embarking on a quest to restore the powers of earth, wind, fire, and water to the Four Orbs on my childhood Final Fantasy 1 cartridge tonight on stream! My dad got this game for me when I was a kid and I’ve kept the original box, an 80 page explorers handbook/manual, and inserts ever since!

I beat Dragon Warrior on stream this weekend on original hardware! It was my 2nd time beating it, and I had an absolute blast. I got lucky beating the Dragonlord at level 19. I only had 4 MP left and thought I’d need to start over, but got him! It’s possible at 17 or 18, but even 19 takes luck!
