Tonights completion - Heavy Nova for the #MegaCD This has TODAY been converted to work on PAL & NTSCU consoles so I'm the first person to finish it in 50hz on a stock machine (wow...what an achievement...😂) A launch title for the machine, it's...badly made but some GREAT ideas & music.

Game 50 finished and it’s Devwill Too Prologue on the Mega Drive. A homebrew platformer that’s surprisingly solid in terms of controls. You collect some upgrades but if you’re good at this genre you can get it beaten in half an hour.

Game 49 beaten and it’s Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem for the GameCube! A really enjoyable game but the camera/combat can be annoying at times. The different characters/time periods give it a sort of Timesplitters feel but with third person combat and magic.

There’s always the Sega CD 😜

Game 48 finished and it’s Blue Dragon on the 360! Another amazing RPG by Mistwalker!!! Lost Odyssey is still their Magnum Opus but the designs by Akira Toriyama and the different art style give this a more Dragon Quest aesthetic compared to the Final Fantasy of Lost Odyssey.

Sorry for the delay but here’s my test!

Now that we’re in to October it’s finally time to give this one a try!

Game 47 finished and it’s The Room on the PC. A locked box puzzle game which only takes a couple of hours. The first in a quadology but if you’re into puzzle games then this was fun!

Game 46 finished and it’s Night Trap on the CD32X! I’ve played it through multiple times but finally saved Kelly from all the vampires. The video stream changing technology is pretty impressive for the time and sets it apart from other FMV games.

It will make this port more unique 😊

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · Sep 26

Did you think the 32X audio would be the worst one to deal with?

Game 45 beaten and it’s Sonic Superstars on the PC. Love the visual design and animation. The emerald powers are interesting but the levels aren’t enjoyable. No lives means there’s no refinement in their design and turn into constant death traps. The later bosses go on too long as well!

Game 44 finished and it’s Killzone 2 on the PS3! It sure is a console FPS 😂 it’s a very well made game with gorgeous visuals, audio and cinematography but I’m glad I played on easy. I can see why it was so insanely popular on release but there were some really meat grinder moments!

John Bunday @johnbunday.bsky.social · Sep 20

Game 43 beaten and it’s Sylvan Tale on the GameGear! A Japanese exclusive but with a fan translation. More like a Zelda but has brilliant art and music. Can be obtuse at times with how to proceed but a must play for GG owners!

Excited to showcase Chords at the Cambridge Centre for Computing History Retro Computer Festival 2025 (15–16 Nov)! 🎮 A visual novel style adventure for the Sega Mega Drive, inspired by classics like Konami Snatcher.

Finally giving this a try and the cutscenes are awesome!

Game 42 beaten and it’s Mother’s Hub on the PC. A game inspired by Doom 3 and System Shock 2. Can be completed in a couple of hours but has an insane amount of audio logs for that time. An interesting story and multiple endings but I’ve blanked the screenshot so to avoid spoilers.
