Next finish: 9 Monkeys of Shaolin
A pleasant, if forgettable, mission-based brawler. It has a few special powers and a levelling system of sorts, but otherwise it's fairly straightforward. Too much dialogue for its bland story. It's fine but I doubt I'll remember much about it a year from now.

YouTube Recap finally landed, and while I'm not surprised that Leaving is top of my music listens, I'm pretty amused that the cheesy Darkstone Will Shine (from the 1999 game Darkstone) is number 3 😂

This #RandomGameSaturday gives us Mario Kart DS
I bought this in San Francisco in 2008 and played it the entire time that I was stranded at the airport in Chicago on the way back

It's funny that I'm "a top 2% global fan" when I know literally two songs by them

Next finish: Path of the Abyss
A 'blobber' with a clever combat system that forces you to make agonising decisions. It has a steep learning curve thanks to poorly explained mechanics (there are some aspects I still don't understand) but it's worth persisting with.

As we approach the time for year-end lists of top games, I thought it'd be fun to pick some top games from 30 years ago - 1995
Based on the Wikipedia entry, which is probably non-comprehensive, these would be my retrospective top 3 from 1995:
1) Terranigma
2) Dark Forces
3) Worms

Roadwarden. I don't like survival mechanics or time limits, and yet I love RW
I think it's because the restrictions are so tight that you can't possibly do everything, which counterintuitively frees you to just roam around and experiment

For #RandomGameSaturday I drew Final Fantasy Anthology on the PS1

Resumed playing Path of the Abyss after a few months away.
I've reached a point where I'm hitting dungeon crawl staples that I've heard of but never experienced myself, like spinners 😨

Next finish: Guns of Fury
A metroidvania with an aesthetic and moment-to-moment gameplay lifted straight from Metal Slug. It even has those little touches, like an enemy eating at a table etc. Some of the bosses are annoying to fight but overall it's pretty good

Decided to start up the relatively recently released Guns of Fury.
How could I resist a metroidvania done in the style of Metal Slug?
