Beyond Borderlands 3 achievements; thinking of a very Switch Christmas; wishing, and trying, to find time for my DS; thinking about how to play PC games on my Xbox; these are some things on my gaming mind lately.

I very thoroughly explored all the levels in Borderlands 3 on Normal mode. I'm amazingly still missing some named locations and other things,. I started True Vault Hunter mode at level 47, so soon I'll be at the current level cap of 50. What net?

Years ago I bought an Intellivision at a flea market and a bunch of games and tried out Mattel's Shark! Shark! from 1982. I was surprised that it was so similar to a PopCap game I was playing on PC called Feeding Frenzy. Clearly one inspired the other.

Mattel Electronic's Frogs and Flies is a 1982 console game that was originally on Intellivision as Frog Bog. Frogs and Flies is basically the same game but with even simpler controls. Something about that made it even better.

Mark and I beat the main story a few days ago. The game's far from done though. I'm still doing side missions and exploring for collectibles. At some point, I might try True Vault Hunter mode and replay the game, but maybe I'll just pick a different character and check out their moves.

I’ve never played the original handheld versions of these games, but I played them on the Game & Watch Gallery collection I downloaded on 3DS. I was surprised at how good they were. They looked so minimal in design, I thought I’d play them five minutes and be done, but I was hooked on several of them trying to get the highest score. I wish I’d picked one up back in the 80s.

I played 1979 arcade game Lunar Rescue (I'm cheating on the date a little bit) on Taito Legends 2 (PS2) and Taito Legends Power Up (PSP). I was surprised at how much I liked it. There are elements of Space Invaders, Lunar Lander and even Asteroids in this game.

College years. I had an Apple Macintosh Plus computer, mostly used for writing assignments but also some games. I had a single arcade cabinet in my tiny college town, and I went to arcades when home. I didn’t know the Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, GameBoy, or Atari Lynx even existed.

I strangely didn’t notice the release of the NES in ’85. Instead, I had access to an Apple computer and went to the arcades.
