Nice to see a good variety of games in #StateOfPlay

There's probably only about 40% of them that I'm interested in playing but it's always better to have a little bit for everyone

Shinobi, Sonic Racing, Onimusha and Saros (I'm a sucker for anything from Housemarque) were the standouts

Brian @ UKGN @ukgnzoidberg.bsky.social · Feb 1

Been saying the same thing for years. I don't have a backlog, playing games is not a job!

Took me over a year to go from 4k to 5k, but here I am having sailed past 6000 subscribers less than 3 months later! I'm utterly blown away and humbled. Thank you to all 6000 of you #YouTube

The only thing I'm a fanboy of, is Gaming.

There are great games wherever you play them. Console wars don't interest me!

Brian @ UKGN @ukgnzoidberg.bsky.social · Jan 20

Here we go then. Part one of my ranking all the games based on movies that I've played on the Amiga. Do you agree or disagree with my choices?

Thought it was a massive improvement on True Colours but the last chapter didn't quite stick the landing

The exact reason why I liked Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice more than God Of War (2018)

We're back! The first new episode of Amiga Re:Review in 2025 has arrived. In it, I take Accolade's Test Drive for a, er, test drive and see whether it's worth playing today. If you played it, come and tell me your opinion #YouTube #Amiga #Retrogaming #Gaming

You don't have to finish a game to have an opinion about it.

If your feeling is that you're bored and don't want to keep playing, that opinion is just as valid as someone's who loved it and played through the game twice!

Monday 16th December, it's finally come crashing down.

An impromptu visit to the shops has resulted in my ears being subjected to Last Christmas by Wham for the first time in 2024.

Maybe next year I'll be lucky enough to go 12 months without hearing it!

Brian @ UKGN @ukgnzoidberg.bsky.social · Dec 15

There's only 7 I've not played. No surprise that it's mostly JRPGs
