Still going through Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and this game really went for some deep cuts with the courses, like this one based on Burning Rangers for the Sega Saturn. This game was made with love for Sega's legacy and history. #sonic #racing #sega #segasaturn #gaming #xbox360

Pickups from today. Finally got Mega Man 2 on NES for the collection, and I tracked down The Darkness II after enjoying the first one. Also randomly picked up a PlayStation Underground PS2 disc for just $1. #retro #retrogaming #gaming #megaman #thedarkness #ps2 #nes #xbox360 #videogames

Finally put some batteries in the Rumble Pak and tried it out. I'd never owned this growing up so it felt like I was playing Star Fox 64 for the first time again. Wild to be reminded that vibration/force feedback weren't always standard features.

Happy birthday, DOOM!

32 years ago, John Carmack, John Romero, and ID Software invited us to step into Hell and shoot our way out, and video games were never the same again. For the longest time, FPSes were called "DOOM clones." That was its impact.

I know it was to facilitate the new transformation mechanic, but seeing that Shadow lost his cool bike from All-Stars Racing in Transformed makes me feel a little sad. #sonic #racing #gaming #xbox360

Danica Patrick being an unlockable in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was always one of the most random-ass extras for me. She was still a big deal at the time, being a successful woman driver for IndyCar, but this was still one of the weirdest cross-promo things ever. #sonic #racing #gaming

Finally booting up Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed after it's been sitting on my 360 hard drive since I got it for free through "Games With Gold" back in 2018. With CrossWorlds still waiting to be played, it's time to finally catch up on this one. #sonic #racing #gaming #xbox360

Beat all the missions and cups, and unlocked everything in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, which I will count as "finishing" the game.

But I can't move on to CrossWorlds just yet. It's time to play All-Stars Racing Transformed, which will be my first time.

I've got Sonic Racing CrossWorlds sitting on my PS4 waiting to be played, but I've got unfinished business in the first All-Stars Racing, namely the Mission Mode, which I've mostly never played. Playing the Xbox 360 version, which has Banjo & Kazooie. #gaming #sonic

A rare #music pickup, from Wal-Mart of all places.

Decided to revisit The Messenger, a game I first played back in 2018. A callback to classic ninja games like Ninja Gaiden, it's got tight gameplay, gorgeous retro visuals, and excellent music, with a decent level of challenge but not rage-inducing like its inspirations. Played on PS4.

It's 2025 and I'm about to join online matches in Unreal Championship for OG Xbox, thanks to Insignia.

Microsoft will never do it but a new MechAssault would be nice. Give us another dose of sweet arcade action in the BattleTech universe. It's been 20 years since the last one. This was my favorite Xbox game that wasn't Halo.

However I'm reminded of one thing about the N64 that I never liked, as much as I love the system: controller paks. I didn't have one growing up so I was never able to save data for SBK, and these things have so little space you pretty much need one per game. #retor #retrogaming #n64 #gaming

It's cold and snowy where I live, so I busted out some Snowboard Kids for N64. Absolute god-tier OST and quirky charactr designs. Been so long that I forgot how to properly turn and had to look it up (save your manuals, kids).

Real ones will remember this gem. #retro #retrogaming #n64 #gaming

QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

After Cruis'n USA, it felt logical for me to go on to Cruis'n World, which I feel is better in almost every way. When you beat "Cruise The World" you get launched to the Moon in a space shuttle. Plus the game actually runs at good frame rate. #retro #retrogaming #nintendo64 #n64 #gaming

Cost me $250 but I managed to get one of these for my collection about three months ago. Only problem is this white stain streaking across the disc cover that no amount of cleaning solution will remove. But it works!

Wanted one for a long time before I finally got one about three months ago. Cost me $250 but it's in the collection now. Only problem is this white stain on the disc cover that no amount of cleaning solution seems to remove.

How about that these two came out in the *same year* just months apart?

After lots of rage and resets, I finally unlocked the fastest cars in Cruis'n USA, on the hardest difficulty. Fuck Redwood Forest in particular; that course forced more resets than any other. #retro #retrogaming #nintendo64 #n64 #gaming
