It's Sunday Best day, and today I've drawn my golfsona from Super Battle Golf. I've always been a fan of the particular form of golf you get in videogames, where the sport is abstracted as plotting trajectory and velocity. It's trigonometry as a toy. A gentleman's shootbang. I'll create some mischief.

I did a bit of archaeological research to uncover references for this week's Sunday Best. This was my guy from Loadout, a third-person arena shooter about fiddly weapon customization. My main gun was an electric pulse cannon called "Kill-a-Watts" and the backup was a flaming LMG named "Roast Beef."

For this week's Sunday Best we're going all the way back to Cyborg Justice on the Genesis. I played this game a lot and I always liked to make this one guy: round torso, big stampy feet and the buzzsaw hand. I always remember the magazine ad for this game vividly; you might too if you're of an age.

Tonight our Sunday Best feature is the Houndmaster from a charming Crawl-like sidescroller called Vagante. Lovingly referred to as the Dogmancer, I loved to spec into skills that increased damage when you threw the dog at monsters. The dog roams on its own, but you can also carry it on your back!

Today's Sunday Best isn't a person, it's a plane from an old Vlambeer game called Luftrausers! The music changes to match your airplane. My favorite configuration is called "Shipwreck," a sword-hulled amphibious prop plane with shotgun cannons, it can divebomb through boats & burst up from the sea.
