True Sequel to Shadowgate! - Beyond Shadowgate: Unboxing & Review
YouTube video by JonLeung1
www.youtube.com
Here's my unboxing and review of Beyond Shadowgate for the PC!
(Note that this is not the same as the 1993 Turbo Grafx CD game of the same name.)
It's a sequel to the NES version, and looks and plays just like it!
Check it out here:

I'm a couple of hours into Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and I love it.
Myles MacKenzie isn't that bad (Otacon in Metal Gear Solid is worse, IMO), and certainly nowhere near as bad as some people have made him out to be.
I can't imagine writing off a whole game just because of one character.

It's Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release day!
It's farther from the launch of the NES than World War II is... by one day.
Here's my post that some mod on reddit decided was worthy of permanently banning me from r/gaming, for some reason:

I still can't find an image of the Mega Man 2 cartridge label online.
Here are photos of my own.
Is there anyone that's skilled enough with Photoshop (or any image editor) to be able to recreate the Mega Man 2 label, clean and high-res?
And it must include the top, above the fold.
Please and thanks!

Today (Dec. 3, 2025), the NES launch was as long ago as World War II was to the NES launch!
In other words, the NES launch is halfway to World War II when going back in time from today.

There might not be many Christmas video games, especially on popular retro platforms, but if we want winter games, there's at least Kickle Cubicle.

Should I do a monthly status update?
1. still single.
2. for YouTube, things are moving slowly/steadily. Lack of motivation/energy still, but it will lift soon. I hope after I finish my Edmonton Expo 2025 vid, I'll be back in the groove and get to vids I promised, plus fun things I truly want to do.

I'm still trying to sell my WOWCube... ideally, locally.
If you're in the Edmonton area, let me know if you'd be interested in this WOWCube, which is a 2x2x2 cube with touchscreens for games and widgets!

What are some Christmas-related video games?
(This is "Daze Before Christmas", released in Europe and Australia for the Super NES, but only in Australia for the Mega Drive. Which is funny, since Australia doesn't get snow at Christmas...)

Five years ago today, VGMaps.com put up Jackster's maps of all THREE CD-i Zelda games!
Though infamously considered the worst Zelda games, you have to admit, the art is neat.

The six Super NES games by Quintet.
Call it "Quintet's sextet".
If, for some reason, you had to make it "Quintet's quintet", which game would you remove?
Robotrek (sci-fi instead of fantasy)?
Terranigma (PAL only)?
ActRaiser 2 (pure action)?
Illusion of Gaia (published by Nintendo instead of Enix)?

The Moon's tune in DuckTales (NES) is iconic!
The DuckTales (2017) cartoon acknowledges it by including it in its soundtrack, first used in season 1's finale, "The Shadow War!: Part 2 - The Day Of The Ducks!" (2018-08-18).
Did you get chills when you first heard it, like I did?

I have a lot of high-quality box art of NES games as high-resolution .PNGs, but I don't have cartridge label images on hand.
Does anyone have a high-res .PNG of the CARTRIDGE LABEL of Mega Man 2?
