Finally got my PS4 out of storage again last night. Going by my trophy logs, the last time I played it was December 2017.
The Switch really took everything over for me.

Felt the itch to play DriveClub once more. And despite being terrible at it now, it was still such a joy to play.
The weather effects and especially the rain on the windshield are still unmatched. RIP Evolution. 😭

Played some EDF 4.1 as well.
Can’t wait for EDF 6 in a month or two. 😬

Review for Push-Over on Super Nintendo from GamesMaster 1 - January 1993 (UK)

I have no idea how I picked this one up back in the day, but I'm so glad I did.
Had such a blast figuring out all the puzzles and completing this one.

Trying to find some articles to post with a winter/Christmas theme.

Surprisingly, this is a lot harder that I thought...

Besides the obvious picks like snowboard games, I can think of games like Diddy Kong Racing with it's incredible snow track, Christmas NiGHTS, Die Hard Trilogy, Gremlins and such, but not much else.

So if you can think of a good one, let me know and I'll try to hunt down the articles. 😉

@GamingNews
Free Radical Deserve so much better than the shitty management of Embracer.
The amount of damage that these assholes have brought on the industry is heartbreaking.

If there was ever a time for Microsoft to buy a developer and nurture them, it’s right now. 😭

Review for Push Over on Super Nintendo from Total! 13 - January 1993 (UK)

Personally, I feel like this score is a little on the low side, although I can understand it since it's a very slow paced game.
Still, I have a lot of fondness for it and played it all the way through back in the day.
I wish there was a sequel...

As I just started scanning issue 17 of Total! Magazine, this video came up on my Youtube feed:

The Story of JRPG's in the UK BEFORE FFVII: Super Play Magazine by Kim Justice

A great video focussing on the European JRPG scene, and the lack thereof at times, where she looks lovingly back on Super Play and their championing of the genre.

You can also find all 47 issues of Super Play, as well as the Gold issue here:

Oh wow.
I just got to the end of the video and had been wondering throughout the video wether the images used might be mine, or that perhaps she had taken pictures or scans from her own collection. As I was impressed with how vibrant and clean they were.

Then I saw this message pop up. 🥰

I love how my work can be part to help create content that I end up loving later on. 😊
