I couldn’t remember why Blendo Games was familiar to me until you mentioned AZS. Such a good game!

I would spend an hour or more on one delivery just walking from one end of the map to the other! DS is not my usual kind of game but it fits me perfectly.

I had some of this feeling too and found the game is much better in very hard difficulty as it makes all the equipment and weather reports actually useful.

I barely buy any physical media anymore. I didn’t intend to be this way but I guess it’s a combination of things now with cost of living crisis, new games cost more than before, digital sales are mush better and more games are given away for free with various services. Out of everything we own it is Switch games that have the most physical versions because digital prices of Nintendo games suck.

One of my all time favourites. Definitely a love it or hate it type of game though.

I’d consider a small fee to support the preservation program if I then received said games for free. It doesn’t have to be a monthly thing but whenever they are added.

I can’t think of anything else that would be worthwhile.

I’ve spent more time choosing what games to install than I have actually playing them…

I’m not sure how I feel about this one.

Personally I’m not going to buy it until some more updates are released and/or it shows significant potential. I can’t shake the feeling that it is going to go the same way of something like KSP2, Payday 3 or Cities Skylines 2 where the sequel is too stripped back compared to the original and falls flat…

Edit: I love the first game so will hope for the best.

I have fond memories of TFC and TF2 too. Good community server and civilised people using their microphone are the dream.

Upscaling is great for older games that don’t support modern resolutions. I’m not really a fan of using it in modern games because of the blurryness you mentioned.

Regarding frame gen… Optimise your damn games! Game optimisation is becoming a lost art and now people think they should spend thousands on new hardware too keep up :(

Nothing better than finding a good community server but sadly not always possible nowadays.

Thanks for the link.

I always wonder if these types of artwork are freehand or layered on top of an existing photo?

I enjoy it but also a big reason is to get away from technology.

I’m not really a platformer fan but Abe’s Oddysee/Exodus and Kirby’s Dream Land are up there.

Fishing Controller and a copy of Sega Bass Fishing for the Dreamcast was good fun.

I’m a big fan of the lightgun more though and have so many good memories. Point Blank, Die Hard Trilogy, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, Confidential Mission, House of the Dead and even Ghost Squad and Red Steel 2 on the Wii were all so good.

Shenmue II

A revenge story set in 1980s Japan. Shenmue was excellent but Shenmue II is just another level in every way. For me it is the perfect combination of story, open world (which I don’t normally like nowadays) and fighting game. It’s quite a mixture of different genres but it works so well.

No no, I’m not American and my kids are definitely idiots…

Hopefully it’s something fun and not just some crypto crap or something.

That’s one boring poster.
