Nothing "new" in here, but I just compiled all of my Castlevania retrospective stuff into one massive chunk for easier consumption or maybe to reach anyone new. The culmination of 9 months and over 500 hours of gameplay 💀 youtu.be/7gSuFMTvY_I

3 GnG more games done! Sort of.
Played thru two great recent fan made remakes for C64 and C4+, but the official C16 version was determined unbeatable, even with only two levels. The Unicorns in level two have way too much health to kill them before getting stomped on. 🦄
ZX Spectrum next!

GnG game #3 down! The C64 port was a clonky good time. Against better judgment I am gonna add the other C64 2015 remake to the list also, it looks pretty great.

If you see Dumpster Man out in the extreme cold and snow the next couple days please bring him in and let him stay. Fix him up a nice bowl of hot soup. Just please don't stare at the bullet hole in his forehead.

Hey! I might be taking more commission requests in the future. I've finally decided to (finally)set up my vgen and would like to focus business through that, instead.

I'd appreciate the follow to help me get verified!

In case you didn't hear, I'm gonna be frequently turning into a pile of bones in 2026. 💀
Again I'll be overly thorough with beating every game, port, & spinoff I can get my hands on!

New video up! Kind of a re-post as this combines my old parts 1 & 2 of the Contra retrospectives from 2024, but there is a new section added to the end with some extra stuff since uncovered. Enjoy! Sharing around is much appreciated :) youtu.be/Ap10X-REdlk

Hello! Enjoy my next video in the content creation journey. :)

What goes into "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" as a speedrun vs a casual playthrough? What's actually better?!

Appreciate everyone watching it, subscribing there and checking it out. Close to 1000 there! Thanks. :D

maybe a longshot, but does anyone know ANYTHING about the Rygar mobile game from 2005. I can only find this screenshot and an old IGN article www.ign.com/articles/200...

Would love to know if this has been dumped or at least see any recorded footage.
