Games Beaten

I'm all over the place lately. I'm trying to do games set in the 50s and keep up with the new stuff. I eventually just reduced it all to playing the largest files size games first on my hard drive. It's all a mess now, but I'm having fun, so I guess it's all good. Here's the sloppy story.

Game maker Capcom is known for lots of things, like Mega Man, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, etc.  But probably what they are known best for is their large roster of fighting games, such as Street Fighter.  They did a collection of them a few years ago, plus one last year that had all their Marvel games on it.  And now they’ve got another one with even more fighters!  So let’s take a look at the games on this collection.

My June theme, continuing my traipse through history, is the 1950s. I'm finally down to a single decade a month until the end of the year. With regards video games, since no video games were made, unless you count Tennis for Two on an oscilloscope in 1958 - and who wants to play what is basically proto-pong (new band name found), I'll have to go with trying to match anything 50s related in modern video games. This is my first list of titles. 

I'm on a kind of staycation this week. I made some real life journeys to NYC and some virtual ones to WWI France, a fanciful place called Teyvat, baseball land, and Marvel's NYC. 

New game reviews I’ve recently written are blooming over at GamerDad.com, so here’s a bouquet of them for you.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

My new plan is to roughly follow my reading plan. This month I'm reading from the years 1900-1949. The games just have to be related to the period in some way. So this blog is about my week's plays and some new pickups. 

Sorry I've been AWOL. Getting back in the swing of things working full time at the park and not part time at the pet store is always a bit exhausting. Anyway, I'm back. This is going to be a short update, because I'm tired and I need to get up early.

I'm kinda not doing the turn-based rpg thing anymore. I've pivoted to a new plan, but I'll mention that after my progress report on Friday's gaming. 

Hey folks, I was a guest on another episode of the cartoon podcast my friends do. This time they talked about Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, which is one of my favorite cartoons.  So I’m glad they had me on for the ride!  This one turned out pretty well, I think, so please give it a listen if you can!  Thanks!
