What an honor 🙏 I started posting videos on YouTube about 9 months ago, not really knowing what I was doing - and now, seeing this makes it all feel worth it. To all RGB viewers out there, be sure to follow/subscribe to Midlife Crysis | Retro Gaming 👍
My streaming YouTube recap. Thank you @SEGAGuys @RetroGameBoss @myretrolifeshow for the hours of entertainment. Great for chilling after work! @Gaming_For_Ages I don’t have one for Apple Podcasts but thanks for the content to brighten up those boring mornings at work 🙌🏻

Still one of the best beat 'em ups I've ever played, especially in two-player co-op mode. This legend is closing in on 40 years and still makes my gamer heart beat a little faster. Picking up the dropped weapons was such a blast! Double Dragon (1987, Technos Japan).

All the more reasons to get into Retro Gaming, and stay there
The State of Gaming in 2026: > BioWare shut down by EA > Arkane Lyon has until November 13 to find a buyer, risking the cancellation of Marvel's Blade > Epic Games announcing they're pivoting more towards AI acceleration after laying off 1000+ employees > Ubisoft cancelled 6 games including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake > Mass layoffs at XBOX > The majority of id Software and up to half of ZeniMax Online reportedly lost their job > Ninja Theory is facing closure after two potential deals fall through > 35+ Game Studios closed so far > Sony announced the end of physical disc production starting in 2028 > GTA 6 having a $400 Collector's Edition Box that doesn't include the game itself > All-time high prices for gaming consoles > RAM, GPU and Storage prices also keep climbing slowly making PC gaming a luxury

🎂Happy 41st Birthday NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. Released in the US first in NY (test market) on 18 Oct. 1985, it DOMINATED 8-bit gaming and brought to life some of the all-time great game characters and lasting series. Here's the TOP 10 NES Games👇 youtu.be/VNe7C90BwjI

This was so amazing on the SMS back in the mid-80s. Like, dang this 8-bit console is so powerful. Love it! 😍
マークⅢ版スペースハリアーを遊ぶ 良い…この移植は一周回って愛おしいですよね!プログラムってのは0とか1じゃなくて、気合とか根性で動いてんじゃね!?とさえ思えます! ※1986年12月5日発売

I always wanted a SPACE INVADERS remake in the style of the Atari Jaguar 2000 series. 👾 A indie project "INVADERS X" is doing just that - not on the Jag, but on Steam. Hope the final gameplay matches the great visuals. Check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/2… #Retro #IndieGames

I just beat PHANTASY STAR IV (again) It's really EPIC! One of the best 16-bit RPGs ever made; up there with Chrono Trigger & FFIII. Pure JOY from start to finish. Killer visuals, music & deep battle system. 10/10, highly recommend. Play it this weekend! #RPG #RetroGames #Sega

Today I'm talking about music in video games. So here's a classic banger from the intro. Hell March!

While the Genesis port of Super Thunderblade didn't match the smooth super-scaling action of the Arcade original, it still felt "next gen" to play it at home in all its 16-bit glory!
Super Thunder Blade - Genesis (1989) Who else got absolutely shredded trying to survive this unforgiving aerial crossfire? 🚁 #SuperThunderBlade #RetroGaming #SegaGenesis
