I got the ones I guessed right? Well HOT DOG. I'm not as washed as I think I am sometimes. :P

I'm having fun trying to parse the rest of the list.
2. Super Star Wars
3. John Madden Football '93 maybe?
4. Cybernator?
5. Street Fighter II
6. Super Mario Kart?
7. Space... Megaforce?
8. Sonic the Hedgehog (2)?
The last two befuddle me.

Inevitably, the bot infestation— along with the litany of other things about this platform that make it not fun to use— will force some time off, if not a complete deactivation.
It all kinda depends on when I lose the rest of my motivation to keep posting to the void.

Personally, I’d like to see BlueSky do literally *anything* about its out-of-control bot problem. I think that’s pretty important for the viability of the platform— more so than a generic LIVE badge— but I don’t pay the bills.

I, too, think there are different priorities than instituting a LIVE badge— but I’ll also never ever use that badge, so that explains my shrugs about its addition.
I tend to not download random clients for social media platforms, either. I’m far more comfortable with the first-party apps.

I'll probably write something on the website about this, but Final Bar Line is fresh on my mind today-- so here we are. I'm so very grateful for this game being a thing. Experiencing so much excellent music from so many notable games is very cool. To me, music is the best part of Final Fantasy.

It takes a *lot* to make it onto a list of my favorite video games ever played. I've literally played thousands of games over the decades gone by. It's *hard* to distill that huge set of games and experiences into a teeny-tiny list.
So when I put a game into that list, it overcomes a ton of others.

This is coming from a guy who sank hundreds of hours into Curtain Call before Final Bar Line was a thing, thinking that Final Fantasy music tribute games were not going to get any better than that. I could not have been happier to be so wrong.
I still love Curtain Call, but Final Bar Line is IT.

I could gush on and on about Final Bar Line, about how battles mattered with finding the best party makeups, about how the music selection was more vast than ever, and about how accessible the game had become so more people could play. Oh, wait. I just did.
