I finished four Saturn platformers in the last couple weeks:
Astal
Steamgear Mash
Tryrush Deppy
Rockman 8
They're all short-ish playthoughs, all honestly such a treat for me after finishing a long RPG 😭 Might do a longer review of them later if I feel like gathering more screenshots?

Played through the entire Konami #MSX collection on Saturn. Some cool games but also a good number of ports? Odd choice to include them.

I finished Brain Lord #SNES. It's a lot of fun and worth playing but it does feel kind of unfinished, the middle dungeon was a high point for me.
The title still makes no sense to me! How would you even know it's related to 7th Saga?
🧵Anyway I've collected some weird/funny quotes (spoiler warning)

I finished Wrecking Crew #NES yesterday. Overall a fun classic #Nintendo title, notable for being an early #Mario game that isn't designed by Miyamoto. And also, one of the few Mario games where he can't jump at all! But of course, some weird lore and strange choices too??

Also flash drives, memory cards and SSDs. Hope ya'll are prepared in advance for backup storage next year
Public service announcement: Due to AI data centres distorting the market, the price of RAM is going bananas.
1) If you have an old desktop computer you don’t use, it may have hundreds of euros of RAM in it.
2) If you need a new computer, it is likely the price will rise. It might be time to buy.

Finally picked up a Japanese Sega Saturn. I really like the look of these models with the colorful buttons against the light shell making it look very similar to a Dreamcast. But I forgot how big these things are, it never got a mini redesign like the Genesis 3 or the PSOne. #retro #hardware

Finished this in about 4-5 hours. Overall was fun but the last 5 levels or so are NASTY. Game just decides to start sucker punching you.
