[Let's play] The X-Files Game - Walkthrough

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been collecting retro games and computer hardware for many years. About 2.5 years ago, I decided to start playing all the games I have and thought having a YouTube channel would be a motivation (or an excuse) for me to keep going. Since then, I've been trying to upload a couple of videos every week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I play all the games on original hardware. I often build a retro PC, then pick a few games suitable for that specific hardware. I have roughly 130 CPUs, 50 motherboards, 100 VGA cards and 30 sound cards. This gives me a lot of flexibility, and I can often build an average computer that a person might have had at the time of the game's release. This is why you won't always see me cranking the settings up to the maximum. I also use a 4:3 CRT monitor and record the gameplay videos in that aspect ratio.

The videos are generally unedited. There are no intros, extra music or overlays. Just pure gameplay with no commentary. I often describe this as a gameplay museum.

Finally, there is no pressure to like, comment or subscribe. There are no memberships, Patreon, donations or anything similar either. I'm doing this for my own entertainment, but also for people who want to see and experience these games in their original state.

Enjoy!

[Documentary] How a broken 1991 partnership and a massive hardware gamble gave birth to the PlayStation era.

1 Upvotes

For anyone who grew up in the 16-bit era, the shift from expensive cartridges to high-capacity compact discs changed everything. But the corporate drama behind that transition is wild.

In 1990, Sony engineer Ken Kutaragi and Nintendo were working on a joint console that could play both SNES cartridges and CDs. Everything collapsed in 1991 when Nintendo abruptly broke the deal behind closed doors and humiliated Sony publicly.

Left with a bruised ego and a dead project, Sony's leadership had to decide whether to abandon gaming entirely or risk building a direct competitor from scratch with zero experience in the market. Their secret weapon wasn't just the hardware, it was a completely different business model that terrified third-party publishers less than Nintendo's strict cartridge rules.

Amazingly, a prototype of that original Nintendo-Sony hybrid even survived and sold for a fortune years later. I made a video deep-diving into this exact piece of retro history: Nintendo Invited Sony to Build the Future. Then Changed Its Mind.

What are your memories of transitioning from SNES/Genesis cartridges to CD-based consoles in the mid-90s?

Check out this GRAPHICS SHOWCASE of the Sega/Mega CDs best 2.5D games! I love how that specialized sprite scaling and rotation ASIC gave the Genesis a boost and took these classic games into the next dimension. Batman Returns, Sonic CD, Soul Star, AH-3 Thunderstrike and more!

Who need polygons when this system pushes the pixels so damn well? These games still look (and play) great today. See for yourself 😍

[Playthrough] [WIP] Traducción al español GRANDIA II (Dreamcast) | Primer vistazo

Muy buenas a todos.

Os traigo un primer vistazo de la traducción al español de Grandia II para Dreamcast (versión PAL) en la que llevo trabajando. Ya tengo traducida toda la historia, de principio a fin, junto con carteles de zona, menús de elección, tiendas y créditos.

Os dejo un pequeño gameplay:

Objetos, magias y combate los dejo en inglés a propósito, y la fuente del juego no tiene acentos ni eñes, así que el texto va sin ellos.

Me encantaría saber vuestra opinión, y si veis cualquier fallo o frase rara, decídmelo.

Un saludo.

Before Facebook, Reddit, forums, and social media... there was CBBS.

Created in 1978 during the Great Blizzard of Chicago, Ward Christensen and Randy Suess built the world's first Computerized Bulletin Board System, allowing people to connect, share messages, and build online communities using nothing more than a computer, a modem, and a phone line.

It may seem simple today, but CBBS helped prove that computers could be more than machines for calculations. They could bring people together.

Over its lifetime, CBBS handled more than 253,000 calls and paved the way for the online communities we know today.

[Let's play] Infected Enemy | Emperor: Battle For Dune | Atreides

In this episode of Emperor: Battle for Dune, we launch an assault on another Ordos-controlled region. Our spies have uncovered valuable intelligence revealing that the Ordos troops stationed in the area have been infected by a mysterious virus, leaving their forces weakened and vulnerable. However, we must act quickly, as reports indicate that a medical transport carrying a shipment of vaccines is on its way to the region.

After establishing our base and beginning to build up our defences, we dispatch several Trikes to scout the surrounding territory. Their reconnaissance proves successful, leading us to discover a group of Ix allies who could prove invaluable in the battle ahead. Shortly afterwards, we receive confirmation that the medical transport has arrived. Unfortunately for the us, the convoy is escorted by formidable Sardaukar troops, making it a dangerous target. Nevertheless, with the assistance of our Ix allies and a handful of infiltrators, we launch our attack and successfully destroy the medical transport, denying the infected Ordos forces access to the vaccines they desperately need.

With the enemy weakened and their medical supplies eliminated, we begin assembling our forces for a decisive assault on the Ordos base. Time is running out, however, as reports arrive that the enemy troops are preparing to retreat from the region. We must strike before they can escape! Committing the forces we have accumulated, we advance on the Ordos installation with the aim of eliminating as many retreating troops as possible and destroying their base completely. We cannot allow the enemy to regroup and use the surviving installation as a launching point for a counterattack.

[Let's play] NEW Black Tiger Mega Drive Port (2026) | Capcom Arcade Gameplay & Commen...

Black Tiger MD is an unofficial, native port of Capcom’s arcade action platformer, made by rester159 for the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis using SGDK. It was published on itch.io on 21 September 2026 and is free to download.

The page says it runs native Mega Drive code and does not run an arcade emulator. All eight original stage maps are included. The graphics have been converted to the Mega Drive’s tiles, sprites and reduced palettes, and the music plays through a native FM sound engine.

There are two ways to play.

Arcade mode keeps the coin and credit structure and the original game intro, with settings in a DIP switch menu.

Home mode starts a game straight away and adds an options menu, a Boss Rush mode that puts all eight bosses into one palace arena, and an unlockable debug menu.

I made a video about "New" Game Genie codes that can "fix" some old NES games without a patch or hack. Just Game Genie codes. Some games include Strider, Castlevania 2 and TMNT.

Quick note: I am using AI Voice because my spoken English is still a bit rusty. But everything else is 100% original.

I visited Games & Vintage Days in Wrocław, Poland, where retro gaming fans could discover a huge selection of consoles and games, from classic Game Boys and Sega Game Gear to Atari Lynx and many more.

The event also featured the Japanese NiuCon fair, so there was plenty to explore beyond gaming. I picked up a couple of games, tried some multiplayer classics, and discovered an amazing gaming zone packed with retro consoles and computers.
