I have to admit that I'm now a big fan of Metroid - Zero Mission Romhacks. It started with Super Metroid, but the MZM versions are sometimes even better, also in terms of controls and level design. Metroid - Desolation is another very good hack! #metroid #classicgaming

Metroid - Desolation (GBA) | Part 1 (no talking)

A new month, a new Metroid Romhack! Once again we're enjoying the GBA and what can I say, Metroid - Desolation is a lot of fun. It feels incredibly smooth and even when I look at the map here and…

The PlayStation-version of Konami's Tokimeki Memorial was released 30 years ago today - and one can certainly argue that it was this version, that made the game a real phenomenon. It's a shame Konami still hasn't offered a localized Version of this highly influential classic.

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

Nobuo Uematsu says the Final Fantasy main theme reached its ultimate form by Final Fantasy VIII

Up until then he had been working on parts of the main theme bit by bit with each release. He says by FF8 it reached a form he could call complete!

"[...] a chainsaw hanging in the kitchen of Dr. Fred’s crazy mansion."

A little running gag that's been waiting 30 years for its fulfilment, and even got the characters in the game themselves into raptures. From Maniac Mansion to Thimbleweed Park and how it felt for some of my friends and me.

Bob Carlisle - Butterfly Kisses
(Maybe one of the greatest love songs (not in the way you may think) ever written! I said what I said!)

Another one for the playlist...
Michael Nyman - The Promise
This will be a really heavy but awesome playlist!❤️
(I have the melody of another song in my head, if I can find it, this playlist will have his own gravity field!)

Another random song, because I was collecting some music for a new playlist: Apotheosis by Austin Wintory for the Journey soundtrack. When I think about games as a form of art, and I don't think that every game is art, then I think about Journey and also Abzû. Play Journey, if you haven't yet!

sebotron | working on an NES JRPG! @sebotron.bsky.social · Sep 13

We need people to test dev roms and make sure my shoddy programming doesn't break. The only requirements are that:

- you can run an NES emulator
- you've played (and loved!) the NES Dragon Warrior games
- you can spend some time with the test builds and report back on your experience

Send DM!
