I think I’m gonna do arcade guys and I am really glad I don’t have the money to get hooked on buying arcade cabinets because seeing some of these guys setup makes me jealous

playing arcade games and trying to beat them without continues is very fun and probably makes up most of my gaming time now, i will almost certainly recognize some usernames here

after something like 80 hours of playing, I FINALLY got the Battle Garegga 1CC! :]

this is the toughest STG clear I've done, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try. It's really one of the best games ever made

might cap out the hands-on-the-controls game timer before clearing the game lmao

wait it doesn't have the original mode too? I just assumed it did! Pretty annoying

The new DEMO is a slice of story mode. We'll release with both this and arcade mode, which strips all narrative elements from a run.

tweet that reads:
Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it!

That’s just me though.

Please just develop the literacies and dispositions to play old games just like you can watch old movies.

tain @kntain.bsky.social · 13d

I played through POP for the first time end to end a couple years ago via the PC-98 port and absolutely loved it. Sticks close to the original but with a moody soundtrack and grungy higher-res visuals. Great article, definitely playing the SNES game some day.

💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports.
