“The world of videogaming has just changed forever.” Super Mario 64 released in Japan on June 23rd, 1996. 30 YEARS AGO TODAY! It was the first game to receive a 10 from Edge, almost three years after the magazine’s first issue.

Well who could have guessed, turns out Mario Kart World is excellent 🤷♂️
A little late to the party, but it’s finally time to give this one a go!

Edge Mag Archive@edgemagarchive.bsky.social · 5mo ago“…there's still no licence so players and teams lack their correctly spelt names. If that sort of thing matters to you then, truly, you deserve FIFA. You deserve second best.” A brilliantly blunt (and absolutely correct) review of the incredible Pro Evolution Soccer 2 📖: E118 (Christmas 2002)
This is one of my absolute favourite magazine covers. Beautiful art for an incredible game.

Criticism over the amount of content in Crazy Taxi has always been valid. But 25 years later and it’s *still* the game I reach for first when I’m after a retro fix.
Edge Mag Archive@edgemagarchive.bsky.social · 5mo ago“So far, so so. Review code is exected to arrive soon, and hopefully it will quash fears that Crazy Taxi may still only provide a rather lightweight arcade experience, in spite of the Dreamcast additions.” A somewhat downbeat preview of Sega’s Dreamcast port of Crazy Taxi. 📖: E81 (February 2000)
Finally managed to bag a copy of ON: Volume 2 by @ongamesjournal.bsky.social Of course I had to go for the bright orange Rez edition 😄
I'm not usually big on mods, but Requiem with film grain and hero lighting disabled is something else 🤯
I love this image taken from the first proper Breath of the Wild reveal. It perfectly encapsulates what makes the game so captivating and so special, whilst revealing absolutely nothing about it.

I’m thoroughly enjoying Cairn, but is it normal that it seems to run at about 12fps when I’m not climbing?? I’m on PS5 Pro

Sasha's Retrobytes 🏳️⚧️@sharkabytes.bsky.social · 5mo ago26 years ago today, the PS2 was Big in Japan. Happy birthday, one of my favourite consoles. 💜 What are some of your favourite PS2 games, peeps? And is there a less well known favourite you'd recommend playing?
An excuse to re-play ICO! (I do not need an excuse to re-play ICO, but this looks great)
