Stream later today, with a cozy game for the cozy month, Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi! This game has us catching and raising Tamagotchi, but the big draw here for me is the beautiful whimsical overworld you run around in.

cover of Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi for PS1, with a very simply drawn planet with dot eyes and huge lips, on which a bunch of little critters are, and a spaceship with a girl and a professor-type crashing down onto it.

Stream later today, and for #DOSember I'm checking out Atlas, the German release of Artdink's THE Atlas, which I believe is the only non-Japanese version from that series until Neo Atlas 1469 on the PS Vita. Civilized map gaming awaits us.

My newest RetroAchievements mastery, this one took a while

Twitch Recaps are out and I probably made a similar joke last year, but they're confirming my prestigious position as a top streamer of popular games like Laser Lords for the CD-i, Home Improvement, and Deep Sea Adventure
screenshot from my twitch recap page for streamers, showing my top categories, which are Retro, Laser Lords, Home Improvement, Deep Sea Adventure, Princess Crown, and a cartoon goat that I assume indicates an empty slot. Laser Lords, Home Improvement and Deep Sea Adventure have a tag that says "Top 10%".

Stream later today, and while I'm going to stream a bunch of DOSember stuff this month, Mondays will still be PS1 obscurities. But I thought I'd give it a little nod and chose a game that feels very DOS-y to me, it's 3D action in Tunnel B1!

20:00 Central Europe, 2pm US Eastern, twitch.tv/mooware
the infamous cover of Tunnel B1 with a tunnel being overlaid onto the face of a guy with his mouth wide open. btw this only seems to be the cover for the North American release, any other regions and platforms have a less silly cover.

Was just scanning a file in Windows 11 with Windows Defender, and I noticed this. "1 Zweiter", that's "second" as in "first, second, third", while the unit of time would be "1 Sekunde". Pretty sure this was already correctly translated in the past.

Stream later today, where I want to check out The Tomorrow Children on PS4! I don't really have any idea what the game is like, but I'm a fan of its dev Q-Games and their PixelJunk series. It's currently just €2 on PSN btw.

the footnote on Steam's black friday banner got a chuckle out of me
Steam's banner for the Black Friday sale, saying: BLACK FRIDAY CELEBRATE THIS SHOPPING HOLIDAY* ALL WEEK Thousands of games on discount, now through December 1 * Admittedly loose use of the term "holiday"

I had something similar, it was pretty disappointing
packaging for the "Shout 'n' Shoot II, a kind of head-mounted water pistol with voice activation. on the cover, a person is wearing the thing on their head like some kind of very convoluted headset, with a visor over one eye, and is shouting "FIRE!" to make it shoot.

Stream later today, and I'm feeling like looking at some more games from the big wheel of random obscurities! Over 300 games are on my big wheel, and as special picks I'm checking out Courier Crisis (PS1) and Kattobi! Takuhai-kun (PC Engine).

Stream later today, with Starhawk on the PS3! It's a spiritual successor to Warhawk (PS3) but with a single player campaign. I'm expecting third person shooting, Fortnite-ish building, and vehicle action in various shapes.

Stream later today, with more The Divide: Enemies Within! It's been a really fun and interesting little 3D-ish metroidvania so far, and I think I got pretty far in, so we'll probably see the end of it today.

If you're wondering what James Pond is up to these days:
a book cover, "Between the Sheets: A Survival Guide to Sailing" written by Barry Waters & James Pond. shows a comic drawing of a sailing boat somewhat tilted sideways. James Pond the cartoon fish is nowhere to be found.

Finally got everything in moon. The fishing contest was the last thing I needed, and it took hours...

Stream later today, where I want to check out some new indie games. I wanna play funny first person puzzle adventure Mr. Elevator, and I don't even remember what else I bought. Maybe some Isopod, or Vampire's Best Friend.

Stream later today, where I'd like to start The Divide: Enemies Within! A North American exclusive, and an early 3D-ish (more like isometric tiles) metroidvania, it seems a bit rough, but also pretty interesting.

From the manual of Purumui Purumui, a very nice map of the world of "Fillip Side". Also love the 😙 face the sun is making.

Very cute cover art for Pocket Family on PS1
front cover (or manual cover, not sure) for Pocket Family on PS1, with a cartoony diorama style, making it look like real little toy model figures. a simple house in the background, and various characters in front, like a cooking mother, a dust-sweeping person, a croquet-playing grandpa, a fishing boy, also a cat and a robot.

Stream later today, with the most terrifying franchise in all of videogames: Dr. Franken! There are three of these, and of course the spinoff "Franky, Joe & Dirk: On the Tiles". I'll start with the first one and we'll see how far we get.

Finished Ghost Rush, and it only took me 22 hours...

It's a pretty neat game but the small amount of content it actually has is stretched out way too much. I spent so many hours just walking through identical-looking corridors, and fighting the same ghosts over and over.

Stream later today, and argh I still have to pick a game... how about Crazy Climber 2000. It seems to be commonly seen as a bad game, but I had fun when I tried it. The classic crazy climber gameplay is mapped onto 3D buildings here.
