Remember playing Shinobi games? This is the Game Gear version.

D on Sega Saturn still freaks me out. That timer ticking down, the warped visuals, and that ending… early ‘90s horror games had a way of getting under your skin.

I loved the wonderful wooden accent look of the Atari 2600.

That time the Sonic the Hedgehog balloon busted at 1993 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Do you own any “not for resale” games?

Did you own a TurboGrafx-16 back in the day, get one later on, or never own one?

Sure is!

I’m so sick of Smashburgers. Time for a real juicy medium-rare burger with a good beer and fries on the side.

It’s one of those you can love and think it’s awful haha

Growing up in North Jersey, I was able to go to one of the ECW pay-per-views back in the day, so I was stoked when this game came out only to be disappointed that it wasn’t very good. Wrestling fans, ever play this one?

Thanks man! That means a lot!

Andy @loveretrobtw.bsky.social · 8d

I just wanna send a thank you. I know it’s random, but I really appreciate all the support and all the memories we’ve shared. The world’s a little nutty, but my goal is always to bring back those moments or share something new. Thanks for always being here 💙💙💙

Were you on team Sega or Nintendo in the 90s? Maybe both?

What’s your favorite video game sound?

Not soundtrack—sound. A single noise that hits you right in the nostalgia.

Maybe it’s the ring collect in Sonic. Maybe it’s the “Finish Him!” from Mortal Kombat.

What’s the one that sticks with you?
