Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖

I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.

The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗

I thinks it's unnecessary to ask whether you've played Doom 😁
But on which platform you played it first? 🕹️

Today I'm dropping my third #Retroclip (~1 min). It's about a game I'm sure everyone here played at least once in a lifetime. 🤼‍♂️

What are your thoughts on Street Fighter 2 on Game Boy? 🤔

Is it a good port considering the Game Boy's hardware? 👌

Or do you know even worse ports? 👎

Street Fighter II originally was released for arcades in 1991 and has been ported to numerous consoles and platforms. But did you know that even the Game Boy Classic got his own version of the most influential fighting game ever made?The Game Boy port was released in 1995 and had to be reduced in complexity due to the limited capabilities of the handheld. From the characters side Dhalsim, E. Honda, Vega and their home stages didn't make it into the game. Because the Game Boy only had two buttons, the strength of punches and kicks has to be determined by the duration of button presses and many of the character moves had to be simplified or completely removed. The game runs at less than ten frames per second and in the stages there are no moving background elements or destructible objects. But there are also positive aspects about the Game Boy version. The game offers large, recognizable character sprites and three different game modes. When playing the game on the Super Game Boy, the health bars can be colored and there are unique borders that follow the stage that you're fighting on. By Game Boy standards the game can be seen as an excellent conversion. But the numerous downgrades only made it a bad fallback option for those not having access to a home console or computer.

All of my friends owned a PS1 but I went for the N64 because I wanted to play Mario Kart 64 and nothing else. 😆
I played many PS1 games on my friend's consoles. That way I experienced the birth of fundamental game series like Tekken, Gran Turismo, Silent Hill, Resident Evil or GTA. :underheart:

Did you also have to make a choice for one of the two consoles? Which one did you pick and why? 🤔

Remember always sitting next to a light source when playing on my Game Boy. In the end it always was about playing as much as possible, no matter the circumstances 😆

How did you deal with the lack of light or did you even have one of these Light Max? 💡

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. 👌

After finishing Triangle Strategy yesterday I already got my next couch gaming title: Disco Elysium. 🔍

It came with a download code for the digital artbook and a small poster. 📘

Heard some rumors about this being one of the best RPGs, story games and gaming experiences of our time. 👍

Someone already played this game and wants to share his or her spoiler free opinion? Are the overwhelming critics justified? 🤔

Silent Hill is one of my alltime favorites. The atmosphere is overwhelming still today.
How do you like the more psychological horror approach of the series? 😱
