It was brought to my attention just recently that there was a quiet Zelda II fan-remake released a few years ago and most people never heard of it!
Painstakingly recreated in Gamemaker, I love the widescreen support!

Final Doom, which I posted a while ago, isn't the only game that supports both - the PlayStation Serial Link Mode as well as the PlayStation Mouse! So too does Command & Conquer Red Alert!
This lead me to one of my favourite pics I've taken of my #retrogaming shenanigans!

It's weird to me this game ever left the zeitgeist with how unique it's mechanic is - put in any CD and it will generate a monster for you!
How is that not awesome??
Also, as unholy as it feels, the CD doesn't have to be a music CD... 😉

The other benefit of having a Flash Cart for my SNES despite owning a large SNES library is being able to play MSU-1 hacked games on real hardware!
If you're not familiar, that's when the audio is replaced in a SNES ROM with cd-quality soundtracks - have a listen!

I'm pretty happy with my physical SNES library, but this new Flash Cart is letting me play some English Translated games on real hardware that I never got to experience in this way!

I'm trying some (English Translated) Racing Lagoon on my PS1! It's pretty cool on its own but my favourite feature is that it supports the PocketStation which u can use for trading car parts with IRL friends!

I dug out an old jacket of mine that still has my medals on it from when I fought in the console wars of the 90s - and in it's pocket it still had my old GameWorks arcade card!

In Japan Nintendo released these official SNES flash carts that you would take to kiosks to download games onto, putting a sticker over the numbers on the label.
It was called a "Nintendo Power" cartridge but not related to the magazine from North America.
Mine's actually an FXPak Pro inside though!

I've posted before about using my homemade Zero Tolerance link cable to connect two Sega Genesises for multiplayer, but for some reason I didn't think of linking my Nomad to a Genesis using the cable!
So I did that this weekend! This is such a cool idea and a fun for multiplayer!

Back on my Playstation with my mouse, Quake 2 gets WASD right using the D-pad!
It's such a wacky control style with Controller + Mouse, but it's also cool!

I tried to take a pic of all the hardware I have that can play GBA carts, and I knew I'd miss some - so here's an updated pic!

Here's another game I just played with two linked Playstations, Final Doom!
You can hear me clicking because I was playing with the PlayStation mouse!
This feels weird but also awesome

My Master System copy of Altered Beast has this sticker on it - this was a slogan Sega used VERY BRIEFLY before pivoting to "Genesis Does".
I found this scan of a pamphlet that used the same slogan.
It's neat that I have this relic from such a brief period!
