Hey Twitter! I’m kinda trying to get some followers here since I left Facebook behind years ago, but miss social media. Follow me if you want to bless your eyes with small snips of retro gameplay! Also, check out my work at HeyPoorPlayer and The Ultimate Nintendo Guidebooks!
Your parents take you to Toys R Us after you received a Sega Genesis. These games are the few that still have tickets. They tell you to pick two. Which games are you going with?

Did you actually know anyone who owned a Neo Geo in the 90’s/00’s? This console was a myth only seen in magazines to me, and those $500+ game carts meant I would never own one.

In the Punisher arcade game, the hostages give thanks for their rescue in the best way possible. A kiss coupled with Hotdogs and piping-hot rotisserie chickens.
I practically BEGGED my parents to get me X-Men on the Sega Genesis. When I got the game home I spent the first 10 mins just extracting and retracting Wolverines' blades.

In my opinion, every beat 'em up needs a stage where you can toss the enemy off an elevator or bridge. Streets of Rage's elevator stage is the GOAT. These enemies have been waiting their whole lives for this one moment.

Did you or anyone you knew actually use the NES Advantage? I knew plenty of folks that had one but it just sat on the floor and collected dust.

Did you or anybody you know have a Master System back in its heyday? I honestly didn’t know about the system until the early 00’s 😆 I missed out.

Caveman games on the NES was a constant weekend rental for my brother and I. The game sucks but it was full of charm. Here is a clip of the mate toss - of of the funnier mini-games.

The Immortal Goblin head explosion death sequence - close up and slowed down. (Sega Genesis). When slowed down you can actually see the eyeballs shooting out of the head. This game had Fatalities before Mortal Kombat 😂

Who's idea was it to have Robocop climb ladders this fast? 😂I mean, I know we never saw him climb a ladder in the films, but I never would have thought it'd look like this. (Robocop vs Terminator, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive).

Did you or anyone you know have a Sega CD?
I got mine for Christmas in 93 along with the pack-in game Sewer Shark, Prize Fighter, and Ground Zero Texas.

When I was a kid my pop told me that these guys by the trees were taking a leak. I had no idea they were tied up hostages so I never saved any of them. (Commando, NES)

We were on top of the world when we pulled off taking out the orange car in R.C. Pro-AM right before the finish line. Especially if he was in hyper mode!

Not gonna lie, the first time I played Punch-Out!! it took me at least a dozen or so fights before I figured out how to beat King Hippo. For me, defeating him back then is the equivalent of beating the toughest boss in any of the Souls games today.

Finally finished Narc (arcade) this am. Mr. Big was tough! This is the Midway Arcade Treasure 2 version on the PS2. I love these compilation discs!

Can we all just take a few seconds out of our busy day to recognize the amazing animation in Metal Slug 3; specifically the zombie transformation/death sequence!

The Wayler from Axelay on SNES is, IMO, one of the most badass-looking bosses in a shooter game. His intro gives me goosebumps every time.

20 years ago we were paying $100 for a 256mb SD card and $150 for a thumb drive. That's $170 and $255 adjusted for inflation, respectively. And that's MBs folks, not GBs!
Possibly one of the best video game sequences ever! Metal Slug 3 (NeoGeo, 2000) The game already went horizontal shooter at this point, but the transition to vertical shooter in this regard is perfect!

Hey,
@EASPORTS
Can we PLEASE get a Mutant League Hockey remake? We need more hockey games where you get penalized for losing a fight. That punch was so hard the Troll's eyes came out of their sockets! 😂

More awesome box art! It doesn’t get more iconic than Double Dragon II for the NES! The backdrop of the city at night makes this one for me ❤️

Batman Forever on the Sega Saturn is the most chaotic beat 'em up I've ever played! Is the game good? Oh God, no! Am I having fun? Hell Yes! This is directly off my Saturn. It keeps up with all the carnage without a bit of slowdown.

Did anyone own or know anyone that owned a Turbografx 16 back in the 90’s? Only reason I knew they existed was because my cousin owned one. I played the hell out of it whenever we visited though!

The greatest dodgeball throw in the history of all dodgeball throws! The dude literally attaches the ball to a handgun 🤣(Super Dodgeball, Neo Geo)

I can still remember the first time my friends and I fought Shredder in TMNT: The Arcade Game on the NES. We all screamed when Shredder split into two and I'm pretty sure we all shit our pants in unison when one of us knocked his helmet off.
