That Garfield game actually looked surprisingly decent, glad to hear it turned out well, I might have to check it out eventually.

Definitely has a bit of a Dead Cells feel, really cool, ultra-vibrant graphics. It's a visual feast, no doubt.

Nintendo probably did pay for it. The industry is always chasing those with the most clout - unfortunately, that seems to be on YouTube these days. But I don't much care for the format and I never really engage with gaming YouTube.

I like some of those fast food toys but I am completely fast food free right now for health reasons.

I like those wooden dioramas in Woodo and I put that Thunder Hoop collection on my Xbox wish list.

I really should break out the Switch, even though I'm not playing it right now, for its other features like as a clock.

Did you play Ordyne in the arcade? I'd love to see and play the cabinet.

I'll have to watch some Chip n Dale this month.

Will do.

Love those graphics. Makes me think of Dead Cells.

This isn't my favorite Zelda game, but I'm looking forward to playing this, too! It's still really fun and I'm glad I pre-ordered it. I'm just jealous of all those YouTubers who go flown out to preview it, apparently. Did Nintendo pay for all those plane tickets? I miss the days when I was in that circle. Oh well, sorry, sometimes I get discouraged about these things.

I must be behind the times if don't know what goes viral anymore.

There is a YouTube channel called ThisIsPete that I follow because he plays a lot of games I remember from my younger years pre-NES. He also does more modern games. One of the Super Woden Racing games unexpectedly went viral, much to his amazement and mild anxiety.

I pre-ordered this as well. It looks awesome.

I've been here for 13 years, since the closure of 1UP.com. Before that, I was at 1UP for 7 years, so a total of 20 years with many members of my circle of gaming friends from these sites.

I loved playing Ordyne with my brother Jeff when he was little. He called it the 'flying game.'

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers is my number one favorite cartoon of all time.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is my number one favorite TV show of all time.

Highly recommend watching DuckTales. The original is better than the reboot, but both are good.

It has enough to interest me to play a demo or if it comes to Xbox's Game Pass, if I ever get that service again. The fighting looks rad, but the platforming would eventually break me.

I have to watch some DuckTales this month. I certainly liked the video games. I'm going to play the first one again on PS3 this month.

In looking through the card art, they are really gross-out images. I guess that's the point but wow, kind of stomach turning.

Oh, right, Doh it Again on SNES. I just saw Revenge is part of their Arcade Archives series. I just put it on my wish list for Xbox.

This is looking really pretty and I'm heartened to see that they have made some changes to support the more modern gameplay and controls. Glad I nabbed a pre-order on the cheap, I think this seems to be turning out better than I initially thought it would.

I loved watching DuckTales when it first came out. After getting tired of Transformers and the other 30 minute commercial cartoons. I kind of stopped watching new cartoons for a while, but DuckTales got me back into it!

As a kid, I could never understand the appeal of Garbage Pail Kids. So many other kids collected them, though.

Actually the SNES game is called Doh it Again and I guess it would be considered the third game in the series. It's different from Revenge of Doh anyway.

NAMCO. Right. I've got big collections from both. Gets confusing.

I think I really only played Vanguard. I guess, not much SNK around Philly. I'd love to play Revenge of Doh in the arcades. I just got it for SNES recently.

Me too, only it was a Mac Plus for me. My first point-and-click was Shadowgate.

Sky Kid was Namco, not Capcom.

I can't believe you never saw Ikari Warriors and Arkanoid in arcades back in the day.. They were EVERYWHERE when I was a kid. I think SNK had really good distributors in Texas because it seemed like every SNK game went around there. And Arkanoid was one of the few games I could get my dad to play.. I remember freaking out when we saw the sequel: Revenge of Doh, at an arcade at a water park!

Believe it or not, I was playing more PC games on my Apple ][+ than consoles. I never had a 2600 and even with the 5200 and NES, around this time I started dabbling in PC point and click adventures especially form LucasFilm games like Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

It was fun to read both articles again. I had forgotten about them.

That makes sense.

Marble Madness II was at Push Start Play in Lewisville, TX. It was the joystick cabinet. I wrote about it here:
