BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception (1988) by Westwood Associates was a CRPG set in the early 31st century. As Jason Youngblood, you barely escape a surprise attack on your home! Now you must try to find allies and train yourself (and them!) as you quest for the truth! (an Inner Sphere thread)

Happy 25th Birthday, Diablo II! A game that was one of the big time-sinks of 2000 for me.

Installing it like it's 28/06/00 all over again.

Did you play this on release and were hyped for it, peeps? Or played it and/or the Resurrected release since?

Time Gal (1996 | Taito/Toei | PS1): Fondly remembering when Time Gal traveled to 666 CE and fucking shot the head off the grim reaper

Time Gal narrowly avoids the blade of the grim reaper

Time Gal is shooting the grim reaper in the fucking face

Hello everyone! I post music from older video games, trailers and Art too. Occasionally I'll post newer titles but I'm primarily focused on video games from 1980s to late 2000s

Happy to be here!
