My cherished personal gaming feat: GBA Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom Omega Factor Hard Mode CLEAR! It was worth facing so many deaths in achieving that feat especially. It remains a personal GBA favorite and one of my favorite Treasure games. A neat gateway into checking out Tezuka Osamu’s other works!

The Japanese title screen of Astro Boy: Omega Factor. A homage to the intro of the 1963 anime series.

All three cleared save files on Easy, Normal and Hard, marked in dark blue signifying 100% completion.

Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) defeating the true final boss Majin Garon and Pook.

The true ending in Rebirth mode. Astro and Nuka are restored to life with a gift from the Phoenix.

I think this interview with the Mario Land 2 devs already went around a few months ago but we're bringing it BACK baby (via shmuplations.com/supermariola...)

Screenshot of a written interview:

Speaker: There’s a lot of really charming enemies in Super Mario Land 2. I especially liked the “Be” flies from Tree Zone and Mario Zone. Where did they come from?

Hosokawa: They’re impossible to step on. We call them “the flies that do nothing”!

Kiyotake: I love useless characters that do nothing in games, so the first time I saw the Be fly I burst out laughing. I said, I know there will be people who hate this, but let’s leave it in anyway!

Totaka: I loved that character too. I put extra effort into his sound effects. (laughs)

Kiyotake: If we had had more time, I would have liked to program in some way for the player to be able to stomp on them.

Totaka: No way, it’s better to leave it this way!!!

It's shmup day, probably going live later once I get everything hooked up to my capture stuff and get dinner.

Yes, I'm keenly aware that the lag on these units is not ideal, but this stream is mainly for fun and exploration purposes.

Hope to see ya later! Link below

You can’t have the finest shmup of the generation and not put it on this list!

Radiant Silvergun is peak Treasure - perfecting a genre with pin point programming and clever spins of their own!

And I’d argue… this version’s never been bettered!

Ta to @A1ex85_ on Twitter for the nudge!

First longplay in 2 years! I’ve rekindled my passion for making longplays and plan to create more soon. I’m also really happy with how the thumbnail came out!

Hey, it's been awhile since I've tinkered with my#Pico8 game. It's a #shmup, but has some constraints. Bullets aren't cheap, you know. I'll try to get this up on the Lexaloffle BBS soon, elsewhere ... someday. #GameDev #RetroGameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Game over screen for my retro video game, "Some People Call Him the Space Cowboy." 222 alien slugs killed, but it only takes one baddie to take the base. Next time, Space Cowboy.

Think shooting is the best method? Not quite! A thrown object can be devastating, especially one that bounces!

More dynamic objects coming soon to Cosmic Destroyer - Grab 'em with your Grappling Hook and chuck them at hard to reach enemies!

... Do people constantly complain about "not having the dash" in modern metroidvanias because they're 16:9...? 🤔

My #RandomGameSaturday is Daigasso! Band Brothers, a very fun music game from Nintendo and a launch title for the DS. It has many songs ranging from early 2000s J-Pop hits (SAKURANBO!) to TV & anime themes and lots of cool Nintendo medleys. Oh, and Barbara the Bat of course.
