I am glad to meet you, someone that knows Nanochess' work already. He deserves a lot more exposure, he is quite talented and making some amazing games over there in his corner of the Internet.

Very good point. Often I view remakes as a studio taking another shot at something, if it is good, I enjoy it, if not, I simply ignore it in the timeline (whether the studio does or not). Most of the time

There are many more but these are the ones that changed the most, and I was interested in. Until I saw the Simpsons one randomly pop up on my YouTube home screen, I was not aware people were hacking Mario

Oh definitely a console that came and went with not a whole lot of people even knowing it was here. Atari certainly mismanaged it.

That is too cool, they even have the batplane level with the balloons. Looks incredible though I am still quit new to the ZX Spectrum, it looks like it was a fairly decent gaming computer in the right

Little known fact, now I figure, is Rayman was initially the flagship action platformer for the Atari Jaguar console. Atari featured it in many ads (which were mostly dominated by only their releases).

The last one of these I played was probably the first Lego Indiana Jones game on PSP back when it first released. I have not played much of any after that as it just felt like the same thing with new graphics.

That is freaking awesome about your brother. The best I ever got with game development was drawing a circle on screen and doing the first lesson - Hello World challenge 😂 I quickly learned I much prefer

I lived out in the boonies from 1991 to about 2002 with friends being pen pals 😂 I later got friends that helped with getting to enjoy more games though.

I remmember reading gaming magazines back in the day and seeing Lotus touted as awsome, sadly, I never got to play it myself, I was squarely into console gaming at that time - PC's were just so far out

I absolutly loved reading EGM, Gamefan, Game Player's and the rest. I still have a ton of them in a closet. Years ago I got to work with both EGM and Gamefan (their rebirths by the original owners) for

I suck at them too but I still enjoy them and try to cover those games for fans that might not know about them yet. I have made a small career and fortune on YouTube by sucking at Fortnite so it is possible.

This one looks interesting, I am a big fan of rogue-like games where you can't see the whole level until you explore it. I am setting this one aside for a bit of play time myself this week. Thanks for

This looks like an amazing idea for a puzzle game that reminds me of those stacking and sorting games that are popular on mobile (I am currently addicted to one called Hexa Sort). This looks challenging.

When I first heard about the Pico-8, I figured it would be simple releases, not really games, and for the most part it was. Then as developers and fans got comfortable with the platform, things improved

Exactly! They had an amazing formula, a character that could do more than just 2D side scrolling games, support group full of characters with charm and character and all they really did with it was more

That is too cool. Thank y'all for sharing this.

That is how I am as I get older, I play these older, often hard as nails, games and when I have gotten enough fun, I drop it. If I want to see later levels or something, I hit up a long play on YouTube.

The one sport, I do not believe Mario has tackled yet. Nevermind, just looked, Mario did soccer but it was on Nintendo Switch so Mega Man beat him by decades

I was always more a fan of Mario than I was Sonic, well after the first game. I enjoyed the original Sonic the Hedgehog but the franchise fell off the deep end for me after the original. I just could not
