Games that don’t exist

Today is my day off so i decided to do some summer cleaning, and i found a box of my old SNES cartridges in my crawlspace, haven’t looked at them since high school. Has anyone heard of this one? It has to be a weird bootleg but i’ve never seen it before. It won’t play, just goes to a black screen with ambient music playing. Kinda spooky.

What a weird gaming ad.

Splattle Sibsters

Happy splatfest! I played a bunch of Splatoon 2 today while also watching a stream of Battle Brothers. So here’s a mashup of those. Please enjoy tactical squid com-splat.

I’ve been enjoying Splatoon a whole lot. The core loop of ‘battle -> get cash -> buy clothes -> repeat’ is very enticing! I love a good dress-up game. I’ve only just started to dip my toes into Salmon Run, as my interest in the Turf War starts to wane (splatfests aside). I had very little interest in ranked until recently– I got really into ARMS’s ranked mode for a couple weeks, which has rekindled my interest in it for Splatoon.

Battle Brothers’ tactical-minis fighting seems pretty neat! Unfortunate that the  writing seems to be on that low-fantasy “it’s not realistic if women have agency” bullshit. All in all I’m happy to watch streams of it rather than play it myself.

As an aside– I think a splatoon tactics game could be really cool, although I don’t know that battle brothers’ approach is *quite* the right fit. Battle brothers is really focused on formations (as far as I’ve seen) while Splatoon has a big focus on using your colored turf to increase your mobility (swimmin’ as a squid, super jumps)

Do you like RPGs, music from older anime, and games that don't actually exist? Then this mix is for you!

MartyMcflies compiled more than four hours of music, mostly taken from the soundtracks of various old anime, arrange albums, etc., and compiled them together with the theme of it being the soundtrack to a JRPG. I'd recommend watching it on YouTube itself, as along with timestamps and sources, there are also fake titles that give you a sense of where in the "game" the music would play.

THE GHOST, 1983 (estimated) developed by Nintendo (I think). Even though I cleaned the cart’s contacts with a q-tip first, none of my Famicom games work anymore since I tried playing this.
