I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

guess I should use the FFSP drop to remind people that the NSO SNES app is host to all sorts of rollback-equipped fighting games

Honestly I wish this Metropolis inspired dirty sci-fi aesthetic wasn't wasted on such a stanky unfinished game. Even the barebones story here has a lot of cool ideas going for it.

sanity @sanitytheshow.bsky.social · 10d

Don't forget that its a high end version of PC-88, which came out the same time in the early 80s. But it's like a seperate platform and I'm not even sure if they're directly compatible with one another.

I had a dream where I saw Bigfoot, but it turned around & it was Tomo from Azumanga. Here's an artist's rendition of what that looked like.

I think that would be a hit with the avant garde or outsider art crowd

New video and I'm actually kinda proud enough of this. A scuffed 2002 FPS that would be the coolest thing ever if it wasn't a rushed out Activision Value release from an overstretched Romanian studio.

Would like it if people shared this one around.

I mean It sold only a few million more total

sanity @sanitytheshow.bsky.social · 13d

The Gamecube feels like it sold more than just a mere 20 million. I see so many people talk about having a Gamecube growing up. Like god damn is this a Velvet Underground situation where everyone who had a GC as a kid grew up to be a video essayist.

Quake is basically a cat simulator:

- Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things

- Can jump ridiculous distances

- Can’t understand anyone

- Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

I don't think this is about protecting kids. It's moral puritans trying to police what's on the internet.

If you've never played video games before you'll need this handy guide to play them in release order:

1. Pong
2. Quest 64
3. Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child

I love how when it comes to budget stanky fps titles from the windows XP days there is always going to be someone saying it looks like a fake game you'd see on CSI Miami being played by some kid
