Pardon me, ten whole months ago. I get it. Somewhere in the editorial office this is someone’s first crush. But beating this thing over the head of readers, when there’s so much else to explore, it isn’t right.
@retrogamermag.bsky.social Every six months, you can’t resist the urge to glaze about the ZX, a technical inferiority even for its time that no one cares about - except you apparently. It sold one-third the units of the C64 and the Acorn RISC Machine is still used today. Be like Elsa and let it go.
Mail call: Lumines Remastered Deluxe Edition, which comes with a 2-LP soundtrack. Can’t wait to put this on the turntable later tonight (and even play the game later this week). #lumines #nintendo #switch #videogames
Your purr-sonal laundry assistant!
Mail call: Practically the entire set of Nintendo Power Gamecube guides. Absolutely incredible, just stunning to look through. #retrogaming #nintendopower #nintendo #gamecube
The heart “like” is in support of you, not the Gestapo abductions. Fuck them.
Streaming Glyphica this morning for a bit - if you like chill vibes and mid typing prowess in gaming action, this stream's for you.

Today’s mood:
I just got this in today and…this cover gives me some feelings, both personal and nostalgia. Thank you @retrogamermag.bsky.social for another beautiful volume. #retrogaming #playstation #shadowofthecolossus
I agree that the value addition is nice and features like rewinding make “Nintendo Hard” games much more approachable. However, when you go back to play a game you love, and it’s not there anymore because they’ve chosen to take it down, perhaps forever, or to repack it for more 💴, it gets old fast.
It’s a group project and you’re obviously taking the role of the one who cares, so…none.
If your local bar has TouchTunes, you can totally play Diggy Diggy Hole and help others rejoice in dwarven glory just sayin’
The Six Golden Coins do not in any way shape or form present any foreshadowing as to the difficulty of the final level, a veritable gauntlet. But I persevered, coming away with the W on the original cart and @modretro.bsky.social Chromatic. #sml2 #mario #retrogaming #wario #modretro #retrogaming
If you haven’t played this entry in the Mario series, I highly recommend it. It is available for free as part of NSO.

We have a working save!
Ordered a Super Mario Land 2 off of eBay that had a dry battery (and wasn’t disclosed despite supposedly being “tested” - that’s a pet peeve for another day). That said, my novice soldering skills were sufficient and SML2 now saves properly! #retrogaming #retrorepair #mario #gameboy #nintendo
Hideki Sato, the designer behind virtually all Sega consoles and former President of Sega, passed away this past weekend. There is so much joy and wonder that he inspired, delivering an entire generation into a lifetime love for gaming. Rest in peace Mr. Sato, and thank you. #retrogaming #sega
A recent pickup: The Metroid Prime Trilogy CE for the Wii is an incredible compilation and tribute to the series. #metroid #nintendo #wii #retrogaming
Nintendo Power Volume 50 was one of a few NPs I ever owned growing up. It was magical to read over and over again, playing alongside the guide on my brick of a Game Boy. #nintendopower #zelda #linksawakening #nintendo #retrogaming
Thunderdome was so good this past weekend. I loved getting lost in the sauce with @ganjawhitenight.bsky.social their whole set was pure 🔥 #edm #dubstep
Well my video gaming friends, it has finally happened. #xbox #xbox360 #retrogaming
I am rooting for the Chiefs to become six seven tonight.
Just having a cafe with my fiery friend #pokemonza #pokemon #switch
Fs in chat, but seriously a pretty good way to start the day. #pokemonaz #switch2 #nintendo #pokemon
Mail call! 35 years ago, Square released what it believed could be its last game due to financial troubles, which they chose to call “Final Fantasy.” It sold 1.3 million copies by 1994 and the series has continued, with dozens of new titles and the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.

I think my Gyarados (named Happiness) is trying to tell me something. #pokemon #pokemongo #niantic #coffee #coffeenow
