SONIC JAM (1997 dev. sonic team, japan) played thru that weird 3d world mode at a retro games event i helped set up yesterday. sort of outmoded by subsequent sonic collections but still a really cool, fascinating little time capsule. big ups for the bonus fmvs.

"POCD is a hoax by the medical establishment to launder pro-CSA sentiment" is another one i've seen a couple of times, tho it's maybe too obviously conspiratorial to really breach containment bc it usually gets 99% pushback.

SABIN BĂLAȘA'S SHORT FILMS (1966 - 1979 dir. sabin bălașa, romania) loved the surreal, hallucinatory nature of the artwork + the spacey, paranoid soundtrack. as "films" tho i found the way one image flowed to the next too muddy and indistinct to feel invested. great paintings tho.

the audio sounding like shit kinda adds to it imo

i dont think anybody buying a metroid prime game in 2025 is going to be browsing tiktok at the same time somehow

Space Invaders: Infinity Gene is a really cool take on Space Invaders where the gimmick is the game "evolves" as you get further in so it gradually turns into a shmup as you progress. I'm not sure how you'd go about playing it in 2025 but there's a sequel coming soon apparently

i like how in ds 1 and 2 her theme is goofy cartoon music with cats meowing but then in vampire saviour she gets this slightly foreboding synth guitar track with radio tuning noises mixed in. the duality of it....

LITTLE TUG'S BIG ADVENTURE (1999, dir. unknown, usa) the amazon listing for this has "boats of hempstead harbor" credited as an actor

apparently nobody has any idea where the art in the thumbnail came from? its not official album art and there aren't any results when you do a reverse google image search, and the upload's from 2018 so it can't be AI. mysteries abound in this world....

welcome back atari jaguar

FRANKENSTEIN (2025 dir. guillermo del toro, usa) some incredible gothic visuals & good performances but i don't feel like there was much substance that wasn't already in the book. could have done with an act 3 that was just the monster stalking victor and occasionally tearing an extremity off.
