"Welcome to the home of Generation 16, the series that showcases the games of Sega's Mega Drive. My goal is to chronologically play and review every game released on Sega's greatest system, as well as outline some of the history surrounding the development of the games, the hardware, and the general goings-on of the video game industry back in the nineties.

Game Sack's latest is up:



Ahoy released a cool doco on the Amiga yesterday. The first half is depressing but things pick up when it gets to the games.

She makes good docos. And it's good having someone that focuses more on the UK and Euro scene.

I like watching HappyConsoleGamer very week. I generally try to skew towards youtube channels that are positive and don't use their platform to shit on the latest game every week. The retro stuff is really good for that.

I also watch a lot of the MetalJesusRocks crew content. Radical Reggie has a good channel.

I Ordered Retro Games From GameStop In 2018...And This Is What They Sent Me

GameStop has been taking trade ins for retro games and consoles for a few years now and you can order games from their website.

The 31 Games That Made The Amiga Great

The Amiga was amazing. The Amiga is amazing. It made up a huge part of my formative years, and I will never stop adoring that big lunk. With an A1200 newly refurbished and specced up, and my OSSC to hand, I decided to work my way through the games that made the Amiga great - and I managed to narrow it down to a mere 31.

There are so many more I wish I could have included, but time is a concept and I don’t have much of it. North and South, I apologise.

 

[The Elite]

I am surprised by how much of Madlittlepixel's channel I watch but he's usually pretty informative.

 

[BANGS]

I hate creepy collectors and people like Metal Jesus make me sick, more concerned about ownership than being able to actually play games... it's sad when they try to talk about games with their guests and it's 100% clear nobody on camera has any idea what the hell they're talking about and they care more about the game's rarity than it's gameplay...

I do love me some Gamesack and Classic Game Room though...

Of course I didn't but the so called Soulja Boy version for an inflated price, oh no. this is the original Chinese version which you can buy from TomTop for half of what he was selling these for (I say was because all traces of the console have now been removed from his online store).

The Legend of Zelda retrospective: The gold standard | NES Works #047

Nintendo's biggest and most consequential release for 1987, and one of the most important games of the year across all platforms, brings a newfound depth and maturity to the NES. Other ’87 releases have been flirting with the idea of merging action and role-playing concepts, but Zelda goes all-in with a sprawling, challenging journey across the land of Hyrule to rescue the princess Zelda and retrieve the Triforce of Power. And in the process, an instant classic is born.

The Making of F-Zero

F-Zero was one of two launch titles for the Super Famicom, and as such, it needed to possess the wow factor. It's a game that's managed to stand the test of time for being purely fun, and the nine people that put their hearts into making this game, deserve to have those 15 months honoured.

Nuclear Games Born From Disaster | Nostalgia Nerd

Yes, there is a Chernobyl Game, even if at it's release in 1987, it was named in somewhat poor taste. It's one from a collection of Nuclear Reactor Games / Nuclear Reactor Simulators / Power Plant Simulators / Nuclear Power Plant Games released over the years, which also help to explain how Nuclear Energy works. The Chernobyl game also, handily, is included in this episode, featuring Scott Manley explaining the workings of a nuclear reactor, and me taking a look at Nuclear Reactor games from the 1980s onwards. Titles include the rather dubiously named Chernobyl for the Commodore 64, Reactor for the Atari VCS, Reactor for the ZX Spectrum, Chain Reaction for the C64 and SCRAM for the Atari 8 bit series.
