Programmer by day, thinks about old games a bit too much by night by making videos on them.

Existentially tired and here for interesting games talk, and not quick dunks or s*itposting.

NEW VIDEO!

May be a little Late to the Party in covering it, but Musketeer for #C64 is a charming swashbuckling adventure which harkens back to those early Datasoft efforts.

Its only downside is that it's a little too brief…

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines !

#Roguecraft DX not only expands upon the Amiga update to Rogue64, but it brings it over to the #GBColor and more excitedly, the #mega65

So time to get back to the dungeons and see how a 16-bit upgrade is squeezed onto some 8-bits.

Whoop, my port of @robc's Invasion of the Emerald Saucers for the STe has been included in the 8th Annual Atari Age Homebrew Awards, alongside some great games like Galactic Panic and the excellent port of Defender:

Time for a NEW #BeyondTheScanlines!

What can be cooler than celebrating an iconic game's milestone than a NEW conversion of it to an unlikely place?

Well Atari did JUST THAT with this new take on Tiger-Heli for the #Atari7800, which I dive into and get blasting like it's 1985!

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines!

It's the last episode for the year, and it's APPROACHING FAST, with a look at Darius Extra on the #megadrive / #genesis.

This is one those modern releases which is not only a cracking conversion of an iconic shmup, but an interesting case of a fan project going legit and being all the better for it!

Been slowly working up on the next vids script for the final kne of the year.

Had a little moment earlier where I felt my first draft was rubbish, but a little clear space (and some Sektori to distract), and I think i’m managing to massage it into something workable.

@vampiress Had to do the same last month. Felt so darn proud to have avoided it for so long.

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines!

Hamster's Arcade Archives is another one of those #retrogaming projects which helps make a bunch of arcade games easily accessible, but also for providing some interesting cuts too.

So here's another video with a bunch of recommendations from the VAST catalogue of games available I Just Think Are Neat!
