The worst bit for me is that they've kinda come close to doing things well & then just botched it so badly. SamSho7's netcode & total lack of lobbies killed that game & COTW was the last modern game I was excited for, then Ronaldo & DJ Asshat appeared

They remain dead & are slowly shambling away

Not much time to play last night but I shambled into 11th this week. I was aiming for a minimum of 1mil, preferably 1.5 but I ended up Game Overing with 1min 40secs left🤦‍♂️

Brutal game & if you don't know the mechanics & secrets, you'll be lucky to even clear a couple of stages with 30K

Imagine trying to explain to a modern gamer that Dark Souls is nothing but these are three of the hardest games to have ever existed🤔

NMK players knows that like women, the cuter they are the more dangerous they will be. Do not be deceived 😉

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

This was probably quite popular when new (idk, I was like 3-4yrs old) but I've not once seen it mentioned other than when I've looked it up. Not online, not irl, never. And it was really good too

Saboten Bombers. You can max the score on 1 credit if you're extremely good

Here's a translated version with a bunch of the important ones marked as O or X

Simple controls but the gameplay is anything but simple, just like the original Bomb Jack

This week's Arcade Archives title is 1993 action game BombJack Twin

ACA1+2 across all systems & PSN should get last week's Touchdown Fever too, as it was MIA for reasons unknown. I know which one I'll be picking up💣💣

They did the sequel apparently & the remake version was City Connection

tbh they all blend together in my head except Hamster & M2. Yhey're pretty much guaranteed excellent ports

Anyone else = maybe 50% chance on a good day

Damn, are Transformers toys finally cool again (ie look like the ones I had as a kid instead of w/e neon weirdness they've been since the 90s)

idk, it's Scotland's national animal & there's scores of them across Edinburgh, which is consistently ranked as one of the best places on earth to live. Probably not a coincidence🦄

When I went to get mine the guy had used the secret command to change the car colour & I didn't realize until I got home. I really wanted the black one but dying irl to change it back seem a bit extreme. At least it's not dented to much

“Show me a comic you loved when you were 13, that’s all I need to know about you” - Brad Meltzer

This is the only one I know I had when I was 13. I mostly just bought kids comics when I was a kid but I guess between 10-13 I had this, some Dragon's Claws, 2000AD's & a few more grown up ones too

I remember it was fairly popular but it definitely never felt like it was one of the huge games on any system, the kind that every single person you knew owned or had played. Just a decent arcade port in an era of many?

I wonder if the new 1 will have C64 DLC to make Tiki look like a monkey nut?
January 11, 2026 at 1:29 AM
is earning the news the hot new trend that will save gaming? What does it mean? Have they channeled the powers of Taito English? Will Tiki fight a gigantic crime of reckless drivers & general businessmen whilst keeping anger in his heart

Everything about this game is strange & confusing

This was the 1st issue of MM (Oct'90) where they reviewed the Western version of the game but still used the Jp title screen for w/e reason

The original review in CVG was on a pink background

This weeks Arcade Archives release is 1987 SNK American Football game Touch Down Fever

Can't say I ever saw this back in the day due to not being in America, so no idea if it's good or bad but I might find out tonight

It takes many lines to make a little 3D guy like Klonoa for his PS2 appearance

That was added for the trade ad as the game was the hot new thing to promote by then. Originally it was 11/10 godly perfect character Pooka

I posted it on the other place a few years ago but that new vid looks way better than just the 2 pics I used

I've not mocked R-Type Delta HD Speed Boosted for a moment, so I'll repurpose one of my old tweets

'I hope this handheld R9 shaped vacuum cleaner gets the HD Boosted treatment so I can get my chores done in half the time'
