Here's my UFO 50 game ranking! Didn't make a fancy looking graphic, so you get this cool spreadsheet that I chopped to fit in one photo. Top 8 are all fantastic games. A lot of these are really fun, though! Some of the lower ones are just there due to being incomplete exploration of good ideas.

Hooray, I have now beat all the games in UFO 50! Got 30 cherries along the way. It took about 193 hours of playtime, which is kind of a lot! (although, for 50 games, maybe not that much?) Tier list to come soon

Good night everybody

#RandomGameSaturday Wild Arms 4 (PS2) This was a big switch from the others in the series. Much less wild west-theming, far more linear, and a hexagon-based battle system. Not everyone was on board with these changes (I do miss the strong western setting), but it’s still a fun game!

I’ve landed on the X68000 remake of Phantasie III this #RandomGameSaturday! I really must sit down with it sometime, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it :D (Also shown: cool tables and floppy discs in an uncommon colour!)

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY METROID!! I drew Samus and created this wallpaper to celebrate the series! All the lines of text are quotes from the different games, I hope reading them feels a bit nostalgic. Feel free to use this as a wallpaper!

Seems like a great night to break out my Coastal Elite t-shirt

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

While debugging the Magic School Lunar translation, I ended up spending some time reverse engineering the save game format so I can speed my way through all the battles. Turns out it was a lot simpler than I thought! Wrote up the process: www.mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/20...

Top teams trading to get top players at the deadline is like The Thing in leagues w/ salary caps. Baseball owners will try to spin this toward a lockout/new system that gives us 1) still a bunch of imbalance in the favor of the big teams, and 2) more money in owners' pockets and less in players'.

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

#RandomGameSaturday Dance Dance Revolution Konamix (PS1) For some folks, the “game with friends in high school” game was Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Halo, or Mario Kart. And we played those. But when hanging with friends, I think this was THE game. Everyone had this and some dance pads at the ready.

Went into my WonderSwan pile for this #RandomGameSaturday! Here’s Wild Card, my favourite game on the system. Lovely bit of Kawazu magic that tickles my imagination in much the same way Unlimited SaGa does :D

Funny thing: My many of favourite Castlevanias... kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2020/06/11/l...

Akumajou Dracula Mokushiroku: Let’s not throw the vampire baby out with the bath water, eh?

Oh look it’s the (other) bad Castlevania, the one stuffed up to its gothic bat-filled rafters with instant death water, a terrible lock-on system, and that hellish section involving backtrack…

We also discuss the ephemerality of modern game ownership, and how inaccessible video games have become for kids due to the high cost of games/consoles, and how it’s pushing kids into the forever game/microtransaction spiral. If you want kids to get into games, you’ve gotta let them get into games.

The way I feel about Sakura Shinguji is the same way I feel about Sol Badguy; never going to be my first choice to play, but undeniably so fucking cool and perfect to be the face of the series.

Sakura Wars Facts & Updates@sakutainews.bsky.social · 2w ago

🎂 | Today, July 28th, is the birthday of the Sakura Wars mascot herself, Sakura Shinguji!! With her gentle strong-willed personality and excellent swordsmanship, she joined the Imperial Revue as both a mech pilot and actress. She continued to rise until reaching the position of Hanagumi Top Star!

The only thing wrong with Elevator Action Returns is that it released in a moment that wasn't interested in it — that shouldn't stop you from playing this classic today. Taito's arcade sequel to the original Elevator Action is bigger, faster, and shows how much the industry changed in 11 years.

Do you know what Elevator Action was missing? Explosions, helicopters, and exploding helicopters.
