Be nice to go a day without someone deciding to mansplain common knowledge on gaming posts:

Q. Which game would u play 1st? (choice of 3)
A. 'That game was originally a mod made by a small team'

Right...

(guess it's all engagement tho) 🤷‍♂️

Doing some book research into the mid-90s internet - this is a glossary from The Internet For Beginners, Usborne, 1997. It has made me feel very nostalgic

Blackpool-bound for this weekend's Play Expo event, thought I'd put a few hours into SEGA's Rent A Hero (Mega Drive) via the Miyoo Flip

This 2002 press release of 'celebrity testimonials' for the PS2 is an absolutely incredible time capsule.

Jason Biggs, actor, American Pie II
“I do play PlayStation. I have a PS2 console and it is awesome... It is amazing. PS one is still great, but the graphics and the concepts on PS2 are incredibly realistic… I had PS2 in my trailer for American Pie II. Me and the rest of the guys would get into some heated games.”

Vin Diesel, actor, The Fast & The Furious
“If I'm not playing Sony PlayStation or rereading a classic or watching a foreign film…my friends and I get on the Internet and find out who I'm dating, and it's always hysterical.”

Jimmy Fallon, actor, Saturday Night Live
“The PlayStation 2 is sweet! The new Madden game sounds insane... I want to play it now. I’m also excited about playing over the Internet. If they make an Olympic game it will be awesome to actually play someone in China. Too much fun.”

Dave Mathews, singer, Dave Mathew’s Band
“The band is so into PlayStation 2. I can’t imagine being on the road without it. Our lounge on the bus is dedicated to PlayStation 2”

This is a narrative experience and the first thing I've ever made for SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis.

For a limited time I am making this available to all because I am excited to share this in the hopes that something comes of it—

I remember buying this from our local computer shop & being excited about setting the traps as I read the inlay on the bus ride home.

Don't think myself or my 2 younger brothers ever figured out how to play it properly but still have fond memories of it!

Yes, 9th September is a #SEGA Dreamcast anniversary (for NA), but it was also the date for the home console launch of #MortalKombat II - released worldwide on this day in 1994...
