Here's a fact, the 80s and 90s will never be replaced, video games, movies, music, it was all unique.

Why have i been quiet? My dad passed away & buried on the 5th November, he suffered from Parkinson's disease yet as much as i tried to help him it wasnt enough, the system failed him & left too soon, still hurts so much, seeing his coffin going into he ground broke me, i just couldn't stop crying.

"Grandstand LCD Games like Out Run put arcade action in the palm of your hand..." (Source.)
Top right, the text "VIDEO EXCITEMENT in the palm of your HAND" - the first words are in blocky sans serif text, but 'hand' is stretched vertically. To the left side, a kid wearing a black denim jacket, blue jeans and yellow polo jumps to hold his Tiger electronic game. Middle, the Tiger Out Run game itself - a handheld console, white with painted scenery on the edges and unlit LCD; the left circle has two buttons, the right circle has two buttons (Speed and Brake), and four function buttons are in the center; a grille for the bleeptronic speaker is on the bottom of the "console." Ad right, breathless copy describes the challenges players face when they take "the Out Run challenge." At the bottom of the ad, the logo for "Tiger Grandstand: The Leading Name in LCD Games" appears.

Honestly done with buying music digitally, you pay and they take it away from you or say you now need a 'subscription to access'

Back to CDs it is.

I whipped up a quick Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake gameplay comparison, putting the Saturn original next to the remake demo footage shown at Tokyo Game Show 2025

This is the first ever generation where console prices have INCREASED, rather than fallen, after five years on sale.

Also, less console exclusives than any previous gen too.

No one ever admits to being a hardcore pro Beehive Bedlam player.

But, there will always be signs...

Absolutely enjoyed this game in the 90s and even revisited recently, still a damn good game.

What do you get when you mix up some pew pew with some splat splat? Loaded, that’s what!

A 1996 top-down run and gun, you take control of one of six deranged degenerates and attempt to escape a high security prison and chase down the FUB (Fat Ugly Boy).
