Fair enough, yeah. Maybe I'll give it a shot(!) one of these days!

Great list.

Pretty much. Always wanted that game. Scoffed at the 100 euro price a few years before that and when I saw it at a shop and checked the online rates, I figured it was now or never.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I NEED TO GET BACK TO PLAYING MUSHI FUTARI PRONTO.

Always found these yearly Top 25s to be very useful to gather which games are the most well regarded by the most dedicated genre enthusiasts, but at this point the yearly fluctuations become arbitrary and devoid of meaning for me. I'm not even sure if I could put together a genre wide top 25 myself ...

STOP REMINDING ME OF GAMES I NEED TO PLAY MORE!!! Spent 200+ euros on the Saturn port, a few months before the M2 Shottriggers version was announced. I've had bouts of playing it feverishly and experimenting with the rank to get as far as I can, but in terms of playtime I haven't gotten my money's w...

https://i.ibb.co/VxvBtY5/IMG-1416.jpg Me and my 2 younglings went to the BlastGalaxy arcade in North Amsterdam this weekend and had a grand time. Games I've played: Galaga Blasteroids (first time ever and it was interesting, since we did the Asteroids podcast not too long ago) Gauntlet (3 player, w...

17 - 1 Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones (NES)

The video says it all. Also contains Metal Storm bonus material.

IMO, 'inspired by' or 'bearing similarities to' isn't the same as spiritual sequel.

"We wanted to make the next game in series X, but we didn't have the rights to the name and characters or some other reason" is my guide line.

Yakuza spiritual successors to Shenmue, only way better. Totally agree with you on Stalker and Metro, but this is very much the same deal. There are a bunch of similarities between Shenmue and Yakuza, but they're also very different experiences, with Shenmue being a much more slow paced adventure g...

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a very succesful spiritual successor to the Monster World games that totally nails it and then some. Although with the blessing of the creators of that series and it pretty much reusing enemies and some characters (like the eyepatched pig shopkeeper)from it, it'...

Someone, I think it was Kim Justice, was quite down on that version! But that's maybe only because it was advertised as a modern remake and they only added some optional pixel smoothing and some luminiscent effects on projectiles and explosions. In any case, I do find the MD version quite collectabl...

Yeah, The Chaos Engine was ported to a variety of systems. Since I don't have an Amiga and not particularly keen on getting one and having to deal with multiple floppy disks, etc. I find games for the system translate adequately enough to the Mega Drive. The music sounds very different, of course, b...

I've also started streaming on my own channel now, next to doing it on Cane and Rinse's.

Followed you guys as well.

https://i.ibb.co/26LSBy4/IMG-1389.jpg Two Mega Drive games I got in the mail in the last 2 weeks that share some similarities: Both games are developed by a team with 'Bitmap' in their name Both games are top down shooters Both games have similar mini mushroom cloud explosion animations Xeno Crisis...

^^^^ Only 3 hours, huh? I might just slog through it myself for comprehensiveness and being able to say that I did it as well.

Would love to play some more of this, but too many other games to play. Maybe one of these nights...

Same.

5 - 1 - Bubble Symphony (SEGA Saturn)

Totally forgot, me and my kids "completed" this game. Well, we credit fed our way through it, to be precise. Not my fav way to play arcade games, hence me not really seeing it as a completed game.

Just played the first bit of The Messenger, purely because I heard the amazing music for it on the most recent Sound of Play. Luckily I had it free from the Epic Store. Pretty fun, and running around to that Hills of Destiny song is just fantastic. I am very bad at 2D games though.

I bet!
