I love the Playdate at [someone's] house idea. That allows the owner of the games to ramble about them a bit, but also the various participants to participate only as much as they can or are comfortable. Thanks Maru. I think I'm gonna do this for fall/winter! I'll see if I can get folks who are int...

However, due to how explosions work you can kill him with a grenade much earlier, and then you are left wondering what to do, as you still need to get to the bottom to trigger the end. That actually happened to me the first time I beat the level. That's fascinating. What happens if you kill him wit...

Wow. Going from one of my GoldenEye posts to one of Ack's is like a smash cut from Yackety Sax to Dies Irae right now :lol: Key, how could you--. I feel like you're becoming a Bond I don't even recognize anymore. How very dare you, pierrot :lol: Listen. LISTEN. If I'm in some secret bunker/mission c...

4. StarTropics (NES) I forgot to mention that I'm excited about this one! I played StarTropics for the Summer Games Challenge waaaaay back in 2018 (egad) and really enjoyed it. Its unique controls are charmingly strange, and thematically it feels like the Japanese developers binge-watched every 90s...

- Scissorman can climb stairs THIS IS NOT A QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT :lol: :lol: :lol: This is actually super funny to me, because in the first Resident Evil that allowed this (not mentioning which one, muahaha) I was specifically taunting a zombie for being unable to reach me at the top of some...

Are you getting the knives at the start of Bunker 2? They're silent. Knives? No — I’ve never seen a knife in the game so far. There is a safe in the first room I duck into after escaping, and I do pick up a Safe Key 1 in there, so I was hoping maybe I was just forgetting that I needed to equip keys...

Welcome to Hell.png :lol: This made me laugh. Congrats on getting through The Machine and the Final Fight without cheats! They are absolutely no joke. You did it! ((( 🐬 This year, I’ve decided to make my Summer Games Challenge list a bit more like Together Retro. That is, I’m choosing games some of...

Man, everyone is planning on playing some of my favorite games. I am excite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30im_ZzhdcM Looks like I could save about 30 hours that way, at least. :lol: Please, pierrot... be kind to yourself this summer. Take those 30 hours. --------------------------------- 10. Go...

As my crusaders made landfall in Egypt, my invading force marched along the southern side of the English Channel to lay siege, but my whiny nobles still didn't find it good enough that I was actively invading. They apparently had wanted it conquered yesterday, so they still whined. ... The Papal St...
