Atari 50 is maybe the best gaming collection Iâve ever played where I donât actively enjoy playing the majority of the games, haha.
Amazing as a documentary piece, though.
(Millipede, Tempest 2000, Warlords, Missile Command and Miner 2049er are all pretty good)

Super Xevious: GAMP no Nazo (Famicom)
Not to be confused with the arcade, GAMP-less âSuper Xevious,â according to Wikipedia, which also says:
- SX:GnN was a flop
- subtitle means âRiddle/Mystery of GAMPâ
- âGAMPâ is a supercomputer that took over after an ice age froze the world and its inhabitants âpâ
- GAMP = âGeneral Artificial Matrix Producerâ âoâ
There are âpuzzlesâ in each stage. Some clouds mysteriously teleported me in the first stage, maybe that was the âpuzzleâ? And enemies were hidden under them. ;PPP And the second stage looped until I managed to bomb every single ground target.
Never liked Xeviousâ shoot/bomb thing, the power-up system and puzzle thing added are baffling, the graphicsâother than that theyâre reasonably fast, and full-screenâarenât doing anyone any favors, and the 1-second-loop music and screechy SFX made me want to stop playing REAL fast.

JoJoâs Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (PC/Steam)
Having to get DIO to cooperate and hit my Jotaroâs attack with his correct attack to trigger Rush Mode for a secret mission completion was a bit of a pain. : PPP ; D

DROD: TCB day 25
I am out of hell.
My completion time for that mud/tar/gel floor was 6 hours 50 minutes 56 seconds which⊠is a lot. I looked at the secret room and it wasnât too unreasonable except for my inability to figure out how to either deal with or prevent enemies from spawning from the top section. I could have maybe figured it out with more time/effort but I only peaked at it after clearing the rest of the floor (which thankfully was out of nightmares although still had a few slogging grinds left in it) and was ready to be free of this place.
The next area introduces a very new mechanic/gimmick that I am⊠unsure about, but it is certainly less troublesome than what the prior area offered (so far, I am currently stuck on one room and have at least one more beyond it). Each room here has one or several NPC âbuildersâ that either build, remove or move parts of the room as you are working to clear it. They may throw up walls ahead or behind you, try to collapse bridges, switch one type of tile with another, basically the can change the room layout in a way no other enemy/NPC has been able to so far.
This is a neat concept but what makes me pause is how⊠letâs say opaque if not chaotic their pathfinding is. You can click on them to see what their next move will be but it doesnât really predict how theyâll act next. Sometimes it is fairly obvious, an example being a room where you have to eliminate enemies from three sub-chambers in a room but where once you enter one of them they will go to try and seal the door in behind you. There are several other rooms where they will go work on one part of the room then decide to go to another for a bit before heading back with no obvious rhyme or reason.
In fact one of the rooms here is apparently a bit infamous for how⊠well how much people donât like/understand it (when I checked a LP to get the room name of the episode was âI hate this roomâ with commenters immediately knowing which one it was beforehand). Basically you have to enter a central area where six or so builders will try to grab the falling tiles from the perimeter of the area to build stuff in the middle, but when they grab the last one the entire thing collapses. You need to prevent them doing so long enough for someone on a separate but attached lower section to build a fuse to a bomb to kill a single roach. I eventually cheesed the pathfinding by playing goalie and taking advantage of one builderâs odd behaviors, but I legit donât think this was the intended answer. That said checking afterwards there seems to be debate as to what the intention was, even the guy who made the room acknowledged that people didnât like it and he did a poor job of implementing the idea he was going for.
That said the room didnât take me too long as if I see a cheese strat I generally go to see if it works so I wonât pile on, while itâs clearly not well executed other rooms annoyed me much more.

Been replaying gothic
Only took 6 patches for it to work on a modern os. While the combat is really clunky (just as I remember) I honestly adore how the game allows the player to fuck around and find out, about just about everything. Wanna kill random npcs? Enjoy getting mugged if you fail or everyone hating you if you succeed. Makes me wish some of that freedom still existed in AAA titles. While Tears of the Kingdom and Elden Ring have significantly better open worlds and combat, neither of them allow you to become a weed dealer, so Iâd say score one for Gothic
