I am happily married and the dad of a teenager. I live in Peoria County, Illinois but do a decent amount of traveling. Unofficial #PeoriaChiefs guru. I review #NES games, make music, follow everything baseball and enjoy my Camaro in the summertime.

The #NES game reviews are just the games that I have. I review them as me and my son play them. It is a great way to spend time together, and verify the games work. There will be games missing here and there - I don't have the full catalog by any means. Last I checked we were at around 550 carts.
It's nasty out here in Central Illinois but the wife and I made the trek to the #ItalianVilla in Henry to snag an Andy's pizza!

One song on First Wave XM channel 33 that I always have to crank up is Adam Ant's "Apollo 9". The song absolutely bangs, as the youths would suggest. @sluggodoug.bsky.social

Who is the Big 4 of #DeathMetal? I feel like #CannibalCorpse, #Deicide, #MorbidAngel, and #Death just about have to be in there somewhere but there are so many good bands from that era.

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck is an adventure game for the #SegaCD that features very colorful graphics, smooth controls and a great storyline. Searching for your kidnapped dad, you traverse varying landscapes and defeat enemies as you go along. Fun boss fights. Mildly easy but tons of fun.

Cable management can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. I have been on the fence about the way I approach my #RetroGaming. Sure it's nice to have immediate access to a bunch of systems, but it would also be nice to save some space in the room and pull them out as needed and put em away.

Name a game that has a banger soundtrack:
Destruction Derby 2 has the best soundtrack for any game as far as I'm concerned. Jug is the band, and they sound like Machine Head, only instrumental. The game itself is a top 10'er for me as well.

About to do a sound test of the new rig (left) vs old. Tube amp vs solid state. Mesa with Celestion Vintage 30's vs B-52 LS-100 with basic ass Peavey speakers. $5,000 or so vs $250 two decades ago.
