Anyone remember a 1980s video game called Raid on Bungeling Bay? It was made by Brøderbund, who went on to make SimCity.

I remember playing it on C64 as a kid. It was a fun game, but hard. Today I found a remake that can be played in a web browser:

Further Adventures with the MISTer

Here's one I've never played but features regularly on Top 10 #GBA games. It's Drill Dozer from GameFreak, creators of #Nintendo's #Pokemon games,

Despite its relative anonymity, Drill Dozer is highly recommended on the #GameboyAdvance and I can see why. It's a great puzzle-platformer with some clever mechanics and gorgeous graphics and animation. Proper charming.

Further Adventures with the MISTer

Next on my play all the best games on every system was Super Mario Kart on the Super NES and Drill Dozer on Gameboy Advance.

There was something wrong with the rom image I had, I suspect it was a PAL version, but you couldn't pick up coins or power-ups, losing much of the fun.

I replaced the rom and played through Mushroom Cup on 50cc and 100cc with my daughter.

I've played it before, though I was never very good, and I noticed that the powerslide was only just developing and she noticed that the Final Lap sound effect is the same in the newer versions.

Since I was warmed up, I also tried a romhack of Mario Kart called Epic Racers - produced by Ok Impala!, Stifu, smkdan and released in November 2020. The tracks are hard but the graphics are great!

Drill Dozer is highly recommended on the Gameboy Advance and I can see why. It's a great puzzle-platformer with some clever mechanics and gorgeous graphics and animation. Proper charming.

If only I had time to actually play it 😅

I was cleaning my shelves the other day and took a few style shots of my retro collection.

The PC Engine was a late 80s 8/16bit console which had some near-perfect arcade conversions like R-Type and Rainbow Islands.

The version I have is the 'briefcase' model which combines the two separate units using a plastic case. The Japanese PC Engine is the "smallest major home game console ever made".

It's a fun console, very Japanese-centric, and is famous for its shooters and arcade conversions.
