So I decided now that things have settled down a bit, I wanted to get back to making videos with some kind of regularity. While I still have a scripted, longer form Let's Go Retro! episode half-done sitting on my computer, I wanted to try something a bit different and immediate.

My loose goal will be adding one a week. I've recorded gameplay footage for a new Let's Go Retro video, now I just have to find the time to get it made!

On the left is Mickey's Adventures in Tokyo Disneyland. The screenshots of this game looked really nicely detailed, and I'm…
Read more →One thing I didn't mention in my post that may be of interest to some people out there is that these games are all available to download for free online!
