  • I didn’t grow up with Atari, I was born a bit later. So I don’t have any memories attached to it. But I really liked the format and I think you can really enjoy the games more in the context of the interactive documentary. And some of them are just timeless classics. Llamasoft is the story of Jeff Minter, one legendary game developer who’s developed so many games. It must be great to learn about his career and play the games in this doc format.

    I hope Retrorealms is doing well, because the game hints at new games in the future. I can imagine Freddy Krueger being next…






  • I was off work sick for a few days, so I decided to catch up with Super Mario RPG on Switch. I finished it and did a bit of the aftergame stuff, and it was quite fun. The style is amazing, I really enjoyed how pretty everything looks in this remake. The easter eggs and the humour in general are really good.

    The negatives are the battles get a bit repetitive at times. And:

    Whoever designed the 3D maze seems to have a personal vendetta against gamers and hates us with a passion. It did some damage… 😆

    I also played some stuff on Steam. Titan Attacks (a modern Space Invaders with a cool style) and Syder Arcade when in a mood for pew pew games and Brütal Legend which I’ve had for years and only just now can play with a decent set up.





  • What? The weekend’s already here? Where did the week go? I need to look at my backlog and choose some games!

    I remember Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition for Wii U was amazing. One of the few games that did really good use of the Game Pad, I had a lot of fun with it. I was tempted to get the collection for Switch, I assume it looks way better than on Wii U (which wasn’t really an issue for me). But I don’t know if I’d play all three of them from scratch…



  • GOG games I’ve been having a harder time making them work. At least the Mortal Kombtas on fullscreen mode, I’ll eventually figure that out.

    I play random characters on Injustice too. I had it on the Wii U and I think I did the whole story mode there, but it’s been a while.

    Let me know what you think once you play Halo. The first one at least was fun for me. I never played multiplayer though, I think that was the main thing back in the day? I’ll see how far I get on the first one before I move on to the second one…



  • I’ve been playing Halls of Torment as I mentioned last week. But I also set up a new partition exclusively for playing on my computer. I installed Garuda Linux, a distro built on ArchLinux for gaming.

    As many others, I have a bunch of games on my Steam library which I’ve acquired via sales or Humble Bundles, and I’ve barely played them (if at all!). With this new setup, games are working great and I’m trying to check out more of them. I’m really surprised with how well non-native games work on Linux these days!

    I’ve been playing the latest Killer Instinct, Ultra Street Fighter IV and Injustice: Gods Among Us fights every now and then.

    I started a new game of Halo: Combat Evolved. I played this through years ago when I still double booted a Windows partition, and I remember having lots of fun with it. I also started Halo: Reach mostly to see how the latest entry worked on Linux (and was impressed!). I think I’m going to get proper organized and play them in chronological order if I decide to keep playing Halo. I also have the Bioshock collection, which I might also check out. And a few more I’ll go through once I’m done with these! 😬
