The game is...? There are controls, and then there’s controls... sometimes you need extra guidance on how to get that thing in the air! #retrogaming #retrogamer

The game is...? In an age where games would take risks and switch genres on subsequent releases, this sequel went almost ‘open world’, before that term was even popularised! #retrogaming #retrogamer

It’s been a while... but Game the System is finally on the road again - for a shoot! Who or what will it be about? All will be revealed in good time...

“A classic in the making”, FEAR on PC certainly lived up to that expectation. This first person horror themed shooter succeeded in doing what others had tried and failed to do, perfectly merging fast firing combat and unsettling brooding horror #retro

Might and Magic: Gates to Another World aka Might and Magic II, was a huge sprawling (somewhat impenetrable) western RPG released on many platforms. Anyone who was able to sink the time was rewarded with a detailed world and memories that likely persist to this day #retro #sega

Compilation packs were a great way to acquire a bunch of bad games quickly. Sometimes, good games too! Six Sizzlers fell into the latter category with great games like The Last Ninja, Labyrinth, and Fire Trap #retro #commodore64

Have any video game art books? They don’t get much more beautiful nor expansive as the ‘Tribute’ series from Udon. Here we have the Capcom Fighting Tribute, including artwork for Final Fight, Street Fighter, Captain Commando and many others! #retro #capcom

Domark published some great action simulation games on a number of platforms including the Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, Atari ST, as well as the Mega Drive. Mig-29 Fighter Pilot was one such game, which tried to ride on the coat tails of popular movies like Top Gun! #retro

Super Crate Box was an awesome indie platform shooter released on PC and other modern platforms. This Commodore 64 ‘demake’ - Super Bread Box - faithfully kept the fast paced action on everyone’s beloved 8bit computer #retrogaming #c64

The game that started a franchise that’s still beloved and continuing today: Castlevania on the NES! While the later games would start to play around with RPG elements, the first game was a pure linear platformer, and was an instant classic #retro #nintendo #castlevania #nes
