Pretty busy week.
I have realised I have too many games going on right now. It was kinda simple with just PS5 and Switch, but by adding PC in the mix, and starting a game on all 3 is a bit too overwhelming for my busy schedule. It’s one thing to have a smaller game going on with a big one, but I ended up starting pretty long game on all of them. So, would have to do something about it.
Just played some Spider-man 2 and few matches of WWE 2K24.
Plan to continue with Spider-man 2 and finish the first, before switching to PC / Switch game. WWE 2K is just some fighting so may continue it for a while.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I’ve been playing the Retrorealms Halloween/Ash vs. Evil Dead games. Mostly Halloween. They’re pretty fun so far!
I got Atari 50: The Anniversary Cellebration Expanded Edition on Friday, and I’ve been really enjoying it. I love the format of interactive videogame documentary, it’s amazing and there’s so much interesting content. I’d love to get Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story too in this same format, but as of March 2024, physical was in planning stage with platforms to be determined. I haven’t found any news since then :(
Also looking forward to being able to get Tetris Forever, another an interactive documentary videogame, physical version apparently next year…
Oh cool, Atari anniversary was in my wishlist, but I am kinda 50/50 on it. Never even heard of Llamasoft game, will check it out.
I watched the video about Tetris Forever, they did some fun things with (local?) multiplayer. Well, at least it looked fun in the trailer, don’t know how fun it is when actually playing it.
Retrorealms game look pretty good. Hope they release more such games.
I didn’t grow up with Atari, I was born a bit later. So I don’t have any memories attached to it. But I really liked the format and I think you can really enjoy the games more in the context of the interactive documentary. And some of them are just timeless classics. Llamasoft is the story of Jeff Minter, one legendary game developer who’s developed so many games. It must be great to learn about his career and play the games in this doc format.
I hope Retrorealms is doing well, because the game hints at new games in the future. I can imagine Freddy Krueger being next…
I don’t have too many memories of Atari either, but I do recall playing some when I was very young, so could be interesting.
