I've been fooling around with #Doom on the #MiyooMiniPlus recently... partly because it's cool that I can, but also because Doom is, somehow, still an amazing game. It feels, forgive the pun, eternal.
It's easy to forget just how seismic Doom felt in 93. It appeared from nowhere, when everyone was talking about #SNES or #Megadrive or #Amiga... and somehow made PCs a thing!
Feeling perfect out of the gate, it made other platforms chase that elusive beast - the worthy Doom-clone. Few came close.

I have to say that for some reason, I look forward to the new pictures from the moustached man every single issue. I don't know why, but he always cracks me up. I love this man. 😅
I installed an Analogue Mega SG (an FPGA-based aftermarket Sega Genesis/Mega Drive) at work. Mainly to show the younger colleagues what they missed in the 90s. 😁
Now I am looking for nice games playable at lunch break. Meaning: Not to complicated, fast startup, maybe games for two.
Finally adding this to my collection, a friend had this game when I was a kid and I played a ton at their place, super fun game. Has a few marks but I got a good deal. #retrogaming#megadrive#genesis
Comme cité ci-dessous, je commence mon thread 35 ans de la Megadrive avec Ghouls'n Ghosts et sa cover du tonnerre ! La jap est mieux car on voit mieux le monstre (qui me fascinait, petit). Avec mes soeurs, on avait joué au jeu touuuuute la journée quand on a eu la console, plus qu'à Altered Beast.
It’s Friday, which means it’s Retro Game Of The Week time! This week, who you gonna call… yeah, them, as I delve into Ghostbusters for the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive!
A bit of SSI Gold Box #CRPG action on #SegaGenesis with Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday. As with Starflight, this is a very respectable port that streamlines certain portions of the game while fleshing out others such as the ship combat having additional weapons options and ditching the first-person view in favour of a side-on JRPGesque movement system.
Sadly, the sequel, Matrix Cubed, wouldn't receive a port.
Cette année on fête les 35 ans de la Megadrive, et j'ai envie de poster mes chouchous ici.
Oui parce que, petit, j'étais un "sale joueur Sega" auprès des joueurs Nintendo.
Non c'est pas vrai. Ce peuple a toujours été respectueux envers moi, ou au moins, nos rapports étaient cordiaux.
For some time now I was thinking about presenting #RetroTrivia not only via pictures but short video clips that don't exceed the Mastodon server's file size limit. 🗄️
Finally I arranged to capture, edit and publish my first video directly here on Mastodon. 📼
When you've got 40 seconds and want to know what going too fast in Sonic can lead to, give the video a try and me some feedback. 👌
Fixed the animation importer. Lots of stuff is actually working to get it this far, and not really much changed in the code apart from platform things. I had to recompile SGDK to boost the stack space though.
I'll need to look at how to implement the background tiles and if it can be done in a way the fits into the MegaDrive's not-mega memory. I think there's about 4Kb spare with the smallest dungeon size 😬
Recently I found a copy of Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, and I have been playing it a bit this evening.
It's a true nostalgia trip. A lot of gaming memories from my youth are thanks to my dad. My parents divorced when I was young and once every two weeks my sister and I would stay the weekend at my dad's, who at one point bought us a Mega Drive. 🙏
I never owned this game but we often had rental games and this one we rented quite a few times! ☺️
It's a great platformer! It borrows heavily from other games in the genre, but in a good way. There are many stages, and the difficulty ramps up quickly! I'm glad this game has a password system~ 😅
Some parts really need memorizing in order to get through. I don't have much patience so these kind of games are not something I can play all evening without losing my temper, but it's a very enjoyable title. The music is great as well~ 🎶
