when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

Remember how I kept talking about the Metroidvania book I had in the works, and then it kinda dropped off the radar? I didn't lose interest. I was just working with a Legit Major Publisher (Dark Horse!) on turning it into the pilot release for a Press Run team-up: www.gamespot.com/articles/exp...
Explore The Origins Of Metroidvania In This New Retro Gaming Book
This new book will explore the history of the enduring metroidvania genre in video games.

Alright, let’s recommend some books about games. This will be a thread I add stuff to as I think of it.

Kurt Kalata writes about all kinds of games but if you’ve known his work as long as I have, he’s Mr. Castlevania. I really liked this one.

After 7 months of work, my latest project: a full English patch of Kingdom Hearts Mobile! You can play all 8 of these previously-lost mini-games, in English for the first time.

There's puzzle games, card games, rhythm games, and more, and even canon lore!

Doing something a little different this morning at @retroxp.bsky.social: there *is* a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Sega Saturn, but instead of a traditional platformer, it's a racer. @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com has all the details on this game that showed off the Saturn's power.
Guest Feature: Sonic R
Super Sonic racing... on foot!
