Bits & Bops Demo - an obvious facsimile of Rhythm Heaven - even down to the sound effects and stage jingles - from a place of admiration. It misses the magic though - some minigames don't feel satisfying and I think it's down to a lack of animation feedback and flourish. Still looking forward to it.

A very modest selection of games from the Doncaster Gaming Market. Always fun to see how much retro games have risen in price.

60 hours later, I have finally finished Wizardry (1981). It was an absolute blast of a game. I definitely will be wanting to talk more about this game, how it plays today, and its gigantic legacy.

Just saw this again for the first time in years! I have extremely vivid memories of this, and the very precise smell of this advert.

Bought it cheap on PS1, but it has terrible box art compared to the Japanese version. Got another PS1 Tetris game on the way this week too!

Really enjoyed my time with Tetris Plus! Its main mode is the puzzle mode where you have to navigate the professor to the exit before the spiked ceiling crushes him. The strategy ends up quite different to normal Tetris with strategic removal of certain lines and cycling shapes. Arcade challenge!

Just had to rescue a copy of Ninety Nine Nights from CEX in pristine condition. Gone through the 1st of 7 character campaigns and kinda like it! Got the same roughness of a Kameo or Too Human. Framerate is better than I expected!

Live A Live - a wonderful bite sized JRPG following multiple protagonists which wraps together into the final chapter. A SNEA cult classic that looks perfect in the HD2D style. Still hoping that Chrono Trigger will be remade in this style too.

Right Now, Wrong Then (2015) - been on my letterboxd list for the longest time - watched yesterday and I've let it sit in my consciousness and yeah, it was fantastic - absolutely perfect film. So many Japanese and Korean films are impossible to buy or stream, but this is currently free on Tubi
