Turbocharge

There are many accomplished racers on the #C64 - SCR, Buggy Boy, Turbo Outrun, Powerdrift, Lotus - the list goes on, but none have the stunning production values of System 3's TC. Just boot up the cart version and have a go. It is simply stunning. The game is also dead good.

GTA on the ZX Spectrum?? You better believe it.

Presh's impressive Rival Gangs EXT is currently half price on Itch, there's never been a better tie to try it out.

What will it be for tea tonight?

Will it be salad or frozen peas?

Will it be mushrooms, fried onion rings?

You'll have to wait and see.

A shame this third part in this extensive Hudson Soft retrospective totally flopped on YouTube, with only 500 views or so. Pt3 covers Hudson becoming Multiplatform again and how Hudson and NEC judged the PC Engine's success. Big names, clickbait, and rage bait wins the day on YouTube :( #retrogaming
Hudson's early 90s games and the PC Engine's later life. Bye Bye Hudson Soft - Episode 3 (1992-1994)

If you want a little history and background on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade before you watch it this year, I have covered it on the Retroist Podcast. I learned so much about the parade, and it made me a bigger fan.

Currently playing Tales of Phantasia on PS1, dug out my original 1994 SCPH-1010, which had a very short life (and cable) in Japan only before its replacement SCPH-1080 came along in 1995 with the international launch. It's really noticeably smaller, lighter and very cute. #retrogaming #playstation

Playing some of the new game by Microprose called Cleared Hot. Cool arcade style helicopter game. @microprose.bsky.social is really hitting it out of the park lately. Been also playing their game Death by Scrolling and it's a winner too. I'm glad they're back!

Clipping and stars now use the fastDiv I was wittering on about earlier. I've optimised the perspective calculation to get rid of two multiplies per point. World ordering is still in C. Happy with that.

I know the Saturn rightly gets a lot of praise for its 2D, but in the right hands, the PlayStation could do gorgeous 2D games too. This is Namco's beautiful remaster of Tales of Phantasia released in late 1998 only in Japan. Stunning looking game and good fun too. #playstation #retrogaming #pixelart
