My copy of Zelda has arrived! 🥳 As a Sega kid I may not have the nostalgia of some, but I did really enjoy the port on 3DS and this looks incredible 🤩 Can’t wait for tonight to jump in! 👍 #Zelda #Nintendo

I love to see this👇 As a hobby gaming is supposed to be about fun and excitement! It is meant to be enjoyed and loved, and that’s what these people are embracing ❤️ People who try to make it about anything else aren’t worth your time 🤝
Pretty impressive line for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake at the San Francisco Nintendo store! This was about 50 minutes before the doors opened. Shoutout to the guy who played a few notes of the Zelda theme on his saxophone as I walked by.

This is my original copy of Sonic Chaos from Christmas ‘93! 🎅 I have a lot of love for this game. A fantastic platformer that I think holds up really well! 💙 Check out this excellent video from Dan of the @SEGAGuys comparing the various versions of this 8-bit exclusive👇

The Saturn’s 3D Control Pad is a ‘must have’ for every Saturn owner! Designed in tandem with NiGHTS Into Dreams, its smooth analogue control elevates the game to a whole new level! In total the controller supports over 70 games, including many of the console’s very best titles!

This one hurts 😢 At their best BioWare didn’t just make games. They created worlds, universes, & mythologies that you visited & experienced every time you played 🪐 A special studio, & their closure is a sad indictment of where the industry is today 💔 #Bioware #MassEffect

We’ve got Street Fighter movie mania! It’s so nostalgic to be wondering whether the latest movie adaptation will be a huge garbled mess. Really takes you back! Take a trip down memory lane with our look back at the Saturn game of the movie of the game! tinyurl.com/GFA-SFTM

Game completed: Deep Fear (Saturn) Sega’s answer to Resident Evil is a claustrophobic underwater thriller that I really enjoy, terrible 90s voice acting and all! As the last PAL Saturn game and having never released in the US, it’s shame it’s not more widely known. Love it! 💙

Started Gears E-Day with a friend 🎮 WOW - the visuals are absolutely stunning! Maybe the best looking game I’ve ever played 🤩 Gameplay is pure Gears, sound design is fantastic, characters/writing are excellent - can’t wait for our next session! 👍 #GearsOfWarEday #XBOX

New pick up: Spider-Man on Game Gear! Got a complete US copy of this fun action-platformer! Great condition, and I love the box art! I wonder if this made it to the UK via a mail-order company, as I ordered Sonic through one back then and it turned up as a US copy 🤷‍♂️

If it was 4K I’d be buying that Mega Sg+. I just don’t think in 2026 you can get away with 1080p for a premium device playing games that ultimately require very little horsepower. Shame! Fingers crossed for the next iteration!

Game completed: Asterix (Master System) Childhood favourite that I’ve not played through in a long time! This platformer has some fantastic level design and presentation that really captures the charm of the series. For me one of the best games on the system!

We will never see this level up in graphical advancement again. The ps1 - ps2 was insane for games. Literally 3 years apart.

New pick up - Star Wars: Galactic Racer! An impulse purchase after seeing all the fantastic reviews and commentary on the game - sounds right up my street and looks gorgeous! And check it out @PlayStation - still buying physical 🖕

I can't see how someone who has played both consoles extensively can find 20 N64 games better than: Sega Rally Virtua Fighter 2 Panzer Dragoon Saga Virtua Cop 1/2 Shining Force 3 NiGHTS into Dreams Dragon Force Guardian Heroes Fighters Megamix And so many more...
After thinking about it if you were to put together a list of the 50 best games across N64, PS1 and Saturn you’d struggle to fit more than 3 or 4 Saturn games on that list. But the PS1 and N64 would be almost perfectly split. And I may be being generous here.

I could not disagree harder with this statement 👇😂 That is insanely generous to the N64. While you can’t deny the stone cold classics on that system, it also objectively has the smallest and least diverse library of that generation 🤷‍♂️
