ponies is not a good show but it does do my favorite bad art thing in which one person is so far and away the best actor in the thing that you know immediately the twist will be they’re the villain
#365games 9. Backyard Football
just in time for the big game! this is the only reason I know the rules of football. backyard football rips although passing plays are wildly OP, not very realistic. apparently also got a new Steam release without Brett Farve lol owned

i was so obsessed with the whole Backyard Sports series. luanne lui was my goat and i save-scummed my way to her pitching a perfect game one time.
#365games 8. Backyard Baseball
apparently they're rebooting it??? they just dropped an animated special with real actors in it out of nowhere like 6 days ago???? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdOS...
once i realized he was IN on the joke i was like ok i'm on board with your deal
I agonized and changed from Bob to Roald at the last second and I want to thank this guardian angel who somehow had me covered 9 seconds earlier
i can't believe you'd do this to us we're trying to get RID of the clowns
(jokes aside i got pietro in my AC:NH village and was despondent but he really grew on me. he sure kept things interesting.)
Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
bro it doesn't even get its own page on wookiepedia bro :'( starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_E...
like briefly skim the description of the game's different levels on page 2 of the manual and tell me how convincingly you think an LCD screen game could convey all of this
www.hasbro.com/common/instr...
#365games 7. similarly, this Tiger Electronics LCD Phantom Menace game. I remember reading the instruction manual obsessively on the car ride home and then finding the game itself was (to no one's surprise) inscrutable.

"how did you pretend an LCD pinball game was tony hawk" look the imagination of a child is a precious thing
looking at the packaging now, I love that they list "automatic scoring" as a feature like lol "Features include: the bare minimum"
#365games 6. this electronic pinball game. I can't find anything about it aside from various eBay listings. before I had a Game Boy, I *made* my own fun with this thing. child-me made little metagames of self-imposed challenges to pretend it was tony hawk or pokemon lol www.ebay.com/itm/16736593...
sorry if you like yoda stories
I mean he wasn't wrong, Yoda Stories sucked. Maybe my first experience aimlessly wandering around every pixel of a video game unable to figure out what I was supposed to do to make the game happen.
#365games 5. Yoda Stories
Inexplicably at my grandparents' house. 9- or 10-year-old me couldn't figure out how to play it. I have a "no way I remember this right" child-brain memory of my uncle being like that's not a good game now starcraft that's a good game www.myabandonware.com/game/star-wa...
#365games 4. Number Munchers
I was allowed to have this game growing up because my dad said that math blaster etc only taught you memorization but this game was fine. I guess he was right because the walkthrough section of this website is blank

#365games 3. this knockoff tamagotchi I got when I was 5 or 6. my parents definitely never knew it was a knockoff (don't tell them). i found it in my childhood bedroom but now I can read some japanese and know apparently his name was Ryouta this whole time.
rebranding my solo video game music stuff now that i've got a ~third~ thing coming up ravagesravagesravages.bandcamp.com/music
It's basically a line by line parody of @lukeoneil47.bsky.social
the twist was that when the bee finally found his honey... his "honey" was his girlfriend. A+ joke. you see why I was so invested in seeing every beat of the story. video games instill completionism in you EARLY.
I would play these over and over again, clicking on everything on every page to see all the lil jokes and subplots, like a bee lookging for his honey in a berenstein bears one. I remember going to my parents in tears because I couldn't find the bee on one page once. earliest gamer brain incident.
#365games 2. Harry and the Haunted House
i'm not gonna list every single Living Books title I can remember but I do recall this being a favorite for 5-year-old me. which... lol 35-year-old me is writing a real book about a horror visual novel so I guess this makes sense.

whoa i never even HEARD of that one and now i'm actually looking up how many of these there were
I think I played the spelling one and the physics one the most even though I considered this My Favorite even though it definitely scared the shit of out me. That fucking walking television jump scare what were they THINKING
i must have been in kindergarten and remember this being TOO SCARY and i feel vindicated by whoever wrote this review for myabandonware that it is Too Hard for kids. now i can rest.
I saw @kyleor.land's #365games and it's not jan 1 but maybe i'll poke away at this and try to remember literally every game i've ever played? see what this Reveals About Me
racked my brain and no joke cannot recall an earlier obsession than:
