It's almost August when I will be focusing my retro gaming on the 90s. That's NES, Genesis, SNES, PS and N64 for me. I don't have a Saturn anymore, never had a TG-16 or Neo Geo, and I didn't play handheld games until the DS. However I do now have the option to play Game Boy and GBC games on my Gamecube's GameBoy Player. So I may break that out too. Here's a list of stuff I'm interested in from 1990, more or less.

This is a retro game store I found today in Glenside, PA while trading in old games. The town just borders northwest Philadelphia.

Ended the day today packing up my Xbox One and taking it home from my friend's place. Not sure when I'll have time to go over there with my new job, but maybe I'll get one day a week of gaming in. We'll see. I think I might suspend Xbox Live for a while too and play more retro stuff on retro consoles. Chasing rewards points takes up too much time, and if I don't have much time, I'd like to play exactly what I want. No plans on what I'm going to play next because I don't even know my work schedule yet. I'd like to play Dragon Quest IV. Anyway, here's what I played today, my last day of Xbox One for a while.

I have a new job starting in a week and I may be working weekends, so I don't know when I'll be gaming after this weekend. Maybe not at all, but probably sometime. Today I mainly played Forza Horizon 5 and Dicey Dungeons but a few others passed by.

This is a list of the games I played the most in the 90s. There are plenty of ties and a shortlist of games I really want to play still.

Something to think about. I made a list of the top-selling home video games of the 90s, one for each year. I tried not to repeat a franchise if possible. Some of the numbers are not exactly known, but I think this makes a good list of top-selling games of the 90s.

2017 continued the blurry trend of recent years in flying by, and I continued my trend of attempting to play cool games, so let's talk about it. First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!

Hello Pixlbit.  Under my current circumstances, I'm not working and I'm not playing, so I have plenty of time to put up a blog.  I may even have enough time to work on a 2nd blog and post it in a week or 2.  Do I dare?

Black Friday seems to have been adopted outside of the US. I don't get it but I managed to buy some stuff for cheap so there's a plus to it.

There's dragons, lots of quests, and warriors. I'd say the game lived up to its name.

When I sat down to play Dragon Quest IX, I just about knew what to expect. At least, I thought I knew what to expect. See, I've played Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest IV, and Dragon Quest V, and as both fans and those familiar with the franchise understand, the mainline Dragon Quest titles have many, many similarities and traditions. While there have been eight games in the series up until now, very few changes have been made to the formula.
