Today I played Battle Garegga at my regular arcade.

Cleared it on one coin with Dragon Man Miyamoto.
Also took down the Black Heart & B.H. Mark IIโ€”said to be the galaxy's strongest fighter for rear attacks.

The combination of ninjutsu and dragon is just the best, isn't it?

Being on a podcast with something of a childhood hero (and a Mean Yob iykyk) such as @jazrignall.bsky.social to talk classic arcade games is a moment that will be hard to top this year, for me.

Had a lot of fun on this podcast talking about one of my all-time favorite games that I also just happened to be a bit tasty at playing.

Quite a moment for me to have Jaz on the podcast.

I was never able to beat him when I was young. I had to return to settle the score as an adult lol

Same here. The Galaxy Force II moving cabinet was a life changing event to me and cemented SEGA in my mind as kings of the arcades, in the late 80s. :)

I look very much forward to hanging out as well!

Some (but not all) of the games that were most important to me, over the years.

When I finally decided to go back to my childhood favorite Castlevania with the aim to clear it, I was forced to defeat Death with the cross as well!

Itโ€™s far from an Indie Game: The Movie type of singular promotion piece, but my @hitpstudio.bsky.social buddy and I made it into this upcoming documentary film. ๐Ÿ˜Š

35 years ago, I wrote this Pilotwings review. I thought it deserved a higher rating than this, while Matt felt the game's high level of difficulty made it somewhat frustrating - so we met in the middle at 90%. Either way, this was THE game to show off your SNES to your mates!

Nice. Was that called Alcon or Slap Fight?

Remember WiiWare (the Wii eshop)? I believe that was my first experience buying digital games. Some fun experiences to be had there. Here is everything I bought on it, or got for free somehow. Anybody else remember games they bought?

Oh yeah, it's a mad game. Mechanically not much more sophisticated than a WarioWare micro game, but worth it for the insanity.

Yup, that's the first one! Motion controlled steering only and it's pretty difficult!

Typical. The first 2026 video game release Iโ€™m adding to my collection is a reissue of a 1993 port of a 1986 arcade game.

Slap Fight MD is notable for its arrange mode featuring a @yuzokoshiro.bsky.social OST.

We also covered the arcade game in the 1st year of @videowizardspod.bsky.social.

Episode 32 is sloooowly coming together. But who doesn't love a bit of good natured and sometimes even insightful chat about classic arcade games such as Mappy, Mario Bros., Gyruss, Star Wars and... Krull?

Well since Twitter is ass now Iโ€™m bringing the squad here. Iโ€™ll be posting a variety of older clips of the game and stuff I never shared as we lead up to the new much larger scale updates coming soon. Until then letโ€™s start with the gameplay first look

I've been totally hooked on gaming since 2024.

My first encounter with Shovel Knight this year was mind-blowing.
It felt like an 8-bit action game had been resurrected in the modern era.
So many mechanics paying homage to the classic masterpieces from Konami and Capcom.
