The Great Genre War of ‘86. Well it would’ve been one if the folks of Micro Live had their way.

Yeah it’s super and quite challenging. Just love the way it plays.

I’m not falling for this! It is impossible to fold fitted sheets! This is as close as one could get when attempting.😁

😄 Love the visual!

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

Oh absolutely! Pulling those off was an adrenaline rush! Such an addictive masterpiece!

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

😄 Maybe one day they’ll name a move after me like those famous folks in chess.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

That’s a solid observation on the intro. 👍 It’s not something I would’ve ever looked for.

It’s such a fun one and another excellent entry into this wonderful franchise of games.

“I am immortal..” said no bug ever in the presence of SAM Retro! An entomologists worst nightmare, I’ve sent 127,500 of those mofos into an early winter hibernation!! You can all put away your hazmat suits, your arsenal of bug sprays, and flamethrowers. I’m on the case!

The super fun MegaDrive/Genesis game InsectorX!! Blast bugs in this beautiful side scrolling shooter and make your way through different landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and the cities!

Love that music. Sepultura, Napalm Death, Carcass, My Dying Bride, love it all. Only music I draw the line on is Country. I will leave the room.😄

“Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy..”

Sounds like a winner! I’m going to make a note to check it out.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

That’s what I would win more than anything. I knew nothing big but winning small was a win nonetheless.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely! Something for gamers to sink their teeth into.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 1d

Oh I’d believe it. Only thing I ever won were a free fries here and there. That must’ve been frustrating for you.

With news of the McDonald’s Monopoly game making a comeback, hopefully they’ll be real prizes worth eating for like back in 1995!!

Stinger is definitely on my radar.👍

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 2d

True. I believe MSX is where the original story began all those decades ago.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 2d

So true. I still welcome an intro to a game as long as I can skip through it if I choose to. Occasionally I’ll run into one that goes on and on and that seems like overkill.
