Imagining a fake AI chatbot called Kronk where dummies ask it "KRONK IZ DAT TROO!?" and it only ever replies with "Well ya got me. By all accounts it doesn't make sense."

Few things in video games are as satisfying as having a completed save file on an old Japanese fantasy game. Lots of cute lil pixel art items, weapons, and equipment. All laid out nicely in a tidy, organized menu with their own designated cubby made just for them. Yes I do have OCD, why do you ask?

A video game screenshot showing a menu full of pixel art trinkets. The game is 迷宮城ハイドラ (Hydra Castle Labyrinth) by E.HASHIMOTO/BUSTER. It's a 2011 freeware game similar to The Maze of Galious. You should play it if you are cool and interesting and sexy and have good taste in everything.

Raindrop Sprinters is SO GOOD and deceptively simple in appearance. It has a surprising amount of depth and strategy with lots of fun secrets to uncover. Even if you don't normally care for arcade-styled games, give this one a go. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be significantly less hidden.

By the way, the Nintendo Switch version of #RaindropSprinters is now on Summer Sale! ☀️ 30–50% off, depending on your region. This little game has quietly been finding new players, and it may even reach 2,000 copies sold this year. Give it a try! games.909works.net/products/rai...

Playing Tail Concerto (emulating because I refuse to spend $500 to $1,000 for a physical copy) and I love how completely non-threatening everyone is, from the heroes to the villains. Like, this is what counts as "vandalism" in this world:

I really like this 1996 interview with Artdink's Kazutoshi Iida about experimental game design. There's a lot to unpack. One of my favorite bits is how Tail of the Sun was explicitly designed to be an "Anti-Mario" game that was deliberately "un-fun" to play. shmuplations.com/iidakazutoshi/
