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

It’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. 😊

Typical. The first 2026 video game release I’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.

One of my beloved games, Final Fight.

I was in elementary school back then, and didn't clear it for the first time until I was in college.

Today I played it again at the arcade mecca, Game Center Mikado.

Also, being a game actor in the Japanese anime High Score Girl is great memory!

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Fantom Iris drummer Yamaoh will perform the classic song "Power of Anger" used in Stage 1 of LIFE FORCE.
In Japan, it's famous under the title "Salamander(沙羅曼蛇)"
Have a great day, everyone!

Schildmaid MX physical in with lots of other ps4, xbox 360 and switch shmups crammed in a shelf (sorry Michiel).

In with some good company, if a little cramped and disorganised (as well it should be when they’re often played 🫡)

Space is becoming a tiny bit of an issue.

Where did you store your physical copy of Schildmaid MX?

It was such a cool thing for me to have @jazrignall.bsky.social on here. Mean Machines and CVG were my introductions to proper video game critique and analysis and he and his fellow editors helped shape my tastes. Oh yeah, Defender is pretty awesome as well. 😁

If two hours of Directs are allowed for Kirby Air Riders, then 27 min about Schildmaid MX seems OK!

Though I can’t believe @mkstayontarget.bsky.social passed up the chance to start the video with “What’s SHMUP guys”

Schildmaid MX is AMAZING but does require you play a little differently to how you might expect from a shmup - so here’re a few pointers to get you started

Since Schildmaid MX is out on consoles, we've got a lot of new players of our #shmup

DFK is a pretty fun time, even learning the laser wheels wasn’t too bad. Getting into the Omote loop can be done on some very scrappy play, although seeing it out for a 2-ALL is gonna require some hard work. Here’s my current pb on switch & 360, 2-2 & 2-3, side by side. Onwards! #shmup #stg #dfk

Schildmaid MX is featured on the pages of Germany's long running M! Games (est. 1993). formerly known as MAN!AC. 👀

Thank you for the kind review @tapirfortuna.bsky.social!

4 video games that defined my 2025

SDOJ & K-Tiger were big challenges in terms of skill & learning and it was great to return to both Batsugun & Schildmaid MX. Not as many clears as last year but some trickier ones, really enjoyed my gaming time this year.

The Netherlands’ at this point sole existing video game magazine (est. 1993) @powerunlimited.bsky.social have featured our shmup Schildmaid MX on their precious pages 🙌🏻 And it’s a pretty decent writeup too!

Better than the top down sections of Super Contra and Contra Spirits at least. 😉

Shock Troopers is at least part a spiritual sequel to Mercs, right down to it having some cheeky visual callbacks to it. Play that if you haven't already!
