Two pages from the manual for Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube, showing the Speed Players (Yoshi, Diddy Kong and Koppa Troopa), the Defensive Players (Waluigi), and the Tricky Players (Boo and Bowser Jr.).

I missed a couple of weekends, but this weekend's #RandomGameSaturday is Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube!

My new game is Encroacher: Snakes

It's a snake-tossing cryptic adventure coming 2026!

Thank you! The IPS screen mods look so good, and they're relatively easy to install. I do regret not installing an amplifier, speaker and de-hum board at the same time though. Better sound would be really nice!

I'm in Ireland again, so this week's #RandomGameSaturday is Sonic Advance for the Gameboy Advance, which I just happened to bring with me.

HORSES won the IGF Nuovo Award. We’re profoundly grateful. To us, this recognition also speaks to a broader idea: that no gatekeeper should decide which games deserve to exist or what counts as art. Thank you to everyone who supported HORSES and helped carry it this far. PS: What a wonderful team!

Yeah, I've just picked it up, looking forward to checking it out!

Save 40% on Éalú on Steam A cozy, handmade stop-motion adventure... unless the maze takes a darker turn... Guide your wooden mouse through a labyrinth full of puzzles & unknown dangers in search of an exit to a happier pla...

store.steampowered.com/app/3560370/... So uh, I haven't actually played Éalú, but just look at it! Definitely going to pick this one up.

Save 40% on Axyz on Steam Roll, flip gravity and bend perspective in Axyz. Use your environmental and spatial awareness to beat over 100 levels and soak in the vaporwave in this tribute to 90s puzzle games.

store.steampowered.com/app/2850490/... Axyz does a really good job of bringing Kula World to a modern audience, fixing a lot of its issues and clunkiness, and just feeling very slick in the process!

Save 50% on MOTHERED - A ROLE-PLAYING HORROR GAME on Steam An immersive first-person horror adventure where you play the role of LIANA - a young girl who arrives home after major surgery and is met with a strange mannequin claiming to be her mother.

store.steampowered.com/app/1830720/... I've only played the demo of Mothered, but that was really affecting, and the game has a feel all of its own. The visuals are incredible too.

Save 75% on Dicey Dungeons on Steam Become a giant walking dice, explore dungeons and defy Lady Luck in this dice powered roguelike! Now featuring "Reunion", a free DLC with six brand-new episodes!

store.steampowered.com/app/861540/D... An obvious one to start with. Dicey Dungeons is one of my favourite card-adjacent roguelikes; aside from the mechanics just being solid, it's got some real stand-out, 'they wouldn't have done this... would they?' moments in it!

Games from Ireland 2026 Celebrate St Patrick’s Day with games made in Ireland and by Irish teams around the world

The Sirena Expedition is part of Imirt's Games From Ireland event, which is running until the 19th of March. Steam has sort of buried the event at the moment, but you should definitely check it out: store.steampowered.com/sale/Gamesfr... Lots of essential games on sale! Here are some of my picks:

The front cover of Don Doko Don for the PC. Engine. It features a clay model of a little gnome guy dressed in red and carrying a wooden mallet.

The HuCARD for Don Doko Don for the PC Engine. It is about the size of a credit card, slightly thicker, and features the same cover art as the front of the box.

Two pages from the manual for Don Doko Don for the PC Engine. These contain the game's story, and feature two illustrations, one of the two gnome-like protagonists, and another of a slightly troubled-looking princess saying "JIM AND BOB HELP ME!"

Two more pages from the manual for Don Doko Don for the PC Engine. These two detail all of the game's enemies, which include mushrooms, rabbits, kings, dragons and caterpillars.

Today's rather late #RandomGameSaturday is Taito's Don Doko Don for the PC Engine! This single-screen platformer occupies the same genre as Bubble Bobble and Parasol Stars, and has similar mechanics to the latter, where you can hit enemies to stun them and then throw them at other enemies.

Steam Store Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.

Join us at 5.30pm on Steam for the first ever Games From Ireland Showcase, with some of the most exciting released and upcoming games from Irish developers.

You can find us tomorrow at 5pm on the front page or at the following link! store.steampowered.com/sale/Gamesfr...

I think you're right, and it's a juvenile rook! The bill is particularly pointed, more than a carrion crow's would be. Other than that, they look very similar!

Improved framerate too, which is exciting! I also found them fascinating; I was lucky enough to have 3D Construction Kit too, and while I don't think I made anything amazing with it, I did enjoy creating weird spaces to explore. I need to try and salvage them from old floppies at some point.

I did not know ScummVM had Freescape support now! Time to finally complete Castle Master and The Crypt, something I never managed as a kid?

That horse is looking SHARP!

The front cover of War of the Monsters for the PS2, showing a gigantic gorilla fighting a gigantic red-and-blue mech.

The back cover of War of the Monsters for the PS2, showing three screenshots of action and a series of bullet points describing the game.

Two pages from the manual for War of the Monsters for the PS2, headlined 'TIMELINE TO DESTRUCTION?' and detailing the game's story.

This week's #RandomGameSaturday is basically just the latest game I bought, War of the Monsters for the PS2, given that I just cleaned it up this morning.

Saint Elizabeth, by ella guro 10 track album

folks, it's bandcamp friday today. and i just happen to have a big brand new album out - my most ambitious musical project ever - that you should buy! ellaguro.bandcamp.com/album/saint-...

Swayze!

This is a great article about some really scummy practises, and the gutting of games media for parts. Gambling shit is everywhere now, and it's miserable.

The SNES version is a pretty competent Mode 7 racer that I enjoyed as a kid. The Mega Drive version does a good job of translating that to a traditional pseudo-3D racing game, and looks impressive.

I should play the PS1 version again; I only had a demo of it as a kid, so I only played one track!

Hodja's music from the SNES version is kind of a banger as well: youtu.be/BIXYu-LZnVY?...

The music that has stuck with me the most though is Frank's theme:
