Simple controls but the gameplay is anything but simple, just like the original Bomb Jack

This week's Arcade Archives title is 1993 action game BombJack Twin

ACA1+2 across all systems & PSN should get last week's Touchdown Fever too, as it was MIA for reasons unknown. I know which one I'll be picking up💣💣

"Slightly diminish a game"

idk, just get City Connection to port it for you😉

(please note: not all CC ports are bad but when they are it's extremely obvious things that they hoped no-one would notice - 12f input lag, game runs at 2x speed, music changes tone each time you pause etc)

“Show me a comic you loved when you were 13, that’s all I need to know about you” - Brad Meltzer

This is the only one I know I had when I was 13. I mostly just bought kids comics when I was a kid but I guess between 10-13 I had this, some Dragon's Claws, 2000AD's & a few more grown up ones too

What are some (supposed) ultimate 11/10 masterpieces you got to late & assumed you'd hate but didn't or assumed you like but didn't

Hit - Doom, 1st Tomb Raider, Minecraft

OK - Biohazard 4, 3rd Strike

Miss - Halo, Half Life 2, Bioshock, Phantasy Star 2, any Zelda, Dr Mario
its always funny to me when someone plays a game like YEARS later that was universally praised and they are like "god damn it was really that good huh"

I am always in the corner like "breaking news...game that has been praised for 30 years actually deserves it"

is earning the news the hot new trend that will save gaming? What does it mean? Have they channeled the powers of Taito English? Will Tiki fight a gigantic crime of reckless drivers & general businessmen whilst keeping anger in his heart

Everything about this game is strange & confusing

For reasons unknown, this isn't coming to PS4 & PS5 until next week. It's only coming to the Switches & Xbox today / tomorrow

Hopefully whatever comes out next week lands on all systems on the same day as per usual🤷‍♂️
This weeks Arcade Archives release is 1987 SNK American Football game Touch Down Fever

Can't say I ever saw this back in the day due to not being in America, so no idea if it's good or bad but I might find out tonight

Wondering what this weeks ACA release will be? Me too. Until we know in about 45mins, you could fill your ears with a tease of what 2026 is going to be sounding like in my head

Darius Burst syndrome exists in other games too apparently
I'm having more difficulty dodging any attack in Expedition 33 than any of the parrying in Sekiro and it's kind of screwing up my brain how the game's dodge timing seems to expect you to press the button after you get hit, not before, and that feels profoundly wrong to my eyes, ears, and hands.

I spent a bunch of time working out a load of game breaking bugs to beat world record times for it. If not for that it would be lower down the list, or not even on it

It's still great fun if you want a quick 2min burst of excitement but Ridge Racer's a better game & a console racer will be bigger
Talk about Aqua Jet? What sets it apart from other arcade racers? From other water racers?
January 1, 2026 at 10:47 PM
My favourite new releases of 2025

1. Aqua Jet
2. The Outfoxies
3. Ridge Racer
4. Midnight Landing
5. Assault Plus
6. Castle of Dragon
7. Ryukyu
8. Dead Connection

2026 after 12hrs

Been drunk on 11/10 Japanese whisky (probably sacrilege as a Scot but idc), watched some streams, drank multiple mugs of tea, talked about arcade games, played arcade games, placed in a scoring competition, smoked a bunch of Marlboro Reds, ate a croissant

Here's to more of this🎉

Hungover middle-aged Scotsman who's not slept overcomes all odds to make top 10 in Space Invaders Part II Caravan🍺

CLOBTA took the PSN st.1 start MVP, misorice took the PSN st.4 start + every other st.1 & st.4 MVP on Switch & Xbox🤯

5 MVPs in 1 day!! Clearly a Space Invaders Part 2 connoisseur👾🛸👾
January 1, 2026 at 12:41 PM
The only downside to Space Invaders Part II on Arcade Archives is that it's not as complete as the 1st game. It doesn't include the monochrome version of the game, which had a really cool background overlay image

Was it ever included in any of the other Part II re-releases?

The US fash government using stolen Japanese art from a household name famous artist to promote anti-foreigner, pro-true blue American patriot pish. The levels of fuckwittedness on display would be incredible if not for literally everything else they've ever done

1990 New Year art from Taito

1989 saw a new Night Striker game released and 1990 was the Year of the Horse🐎

2025 saw a new Night Striker game released and 2026 was the Year of the Horse🐎

Here's to a great new year & old arcade games remaining as fun as ever
