Bring back mid-atlantic Sonic
3. Segasonic Cosmo Fighter

This is a game meant for a kids ride, so it's over in a few minutes with nothing to it and I sure can't emulate the ride part at home either, but I played it because it has the funny Sonic voice

They should bring this voice back imo

Good long thread about the serpentine path to the formation of modern Sega!
With David Rosen's death, bad information about Sega as a company is starting to re-emerge across the internet.

I will try to give a very condensed version of the Sega corporate shenanigans here as to clear some of the air. 🧵

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.

Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

The jump in storage capacity from Nintendo 64 cartridges to GameCube discs allowed the developers to be astonishingly generous with the storage in comparison. A Super Mario Sunshine cutscene of a single image fading in and out is larger than the entirety of Super Mario 64.

Found a copy of Locum Tenens in my inbox today, and I absolutely must give this a shout-out because the developer made this for... the PSP?!

This is a port of a game made for the PSP, in the year 2025!? I don't know when I'll get to try it, considering how full my hands are right now, but wow.

Originally made for PSP in 2025. Full PC Steam port to modern systems. Variety of enemies, weapons, bosses and levels.
