Following the previous post here is Astrolancer game full playthrough/walkthrough on Normal difficulty. With commentary, with good voice audibility.
The game has nice 8-bit stylization. The music is good. As does The Guardian Legend this game has nice variety of interesting sub-weapons. The game progress is linear. The gameplay is shifted a bit more towards bullet hells. You’ll find a lot of referencing from The Guardian Legend in this game.
Astrolancer – game highly inspired by The Guardian Legend. It’s been released on Steam.
The game takes a lot from the original. It shifted a bit towards bullet hells. The game progress is linear, level by level. There is nice variety of cool subweapons.
It is not a metroidvania. It has linear progression between levels. Means you walk through a level, reach SHMUP level and then a next walking level. The game has difficulty levels(I guess easy, normal, hard).

The game Myst from 1993 is 30 years now! Best selling game of that time. Innovative first person adventure puzzle that has big fan base following. There even were books written based on the game’s universe.
We celebrate it with a cool medley of the game’s awesome music.
The Scramble Vice – a game in developement with classic looking anime mechas from 80’s-90’s. Yeah they look cool. But what’s cooler than cool is the music in this trailer. It matches so much with that old school vibe, like wow. Makes everything looks 10 times better 😁
Judging by the trailer you can navigate a mecha but also walk out of it, and run around as a human. Which is more dangerous. But as those are police units, you’ll have to go inside buildings to catch criminals.
Watch only with sound ON! Music is the main reason I shared this 🙂

In recent episode AVGN showed The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles NES, and called it the worst of all Indiana Jones games. Which is not even close to the truth.
In reality the game is pretty good and fun. I don’t remember much of the game as we played it in 90’s just few times through. The cartridges we had usually were multigames 3-8 games on one cart. And we actively exchanged them between each other.
I remember that the game was fun enough. I think I wanted it to have more motobike ride levels.
AVGN showing the game and complaining it to be insanely hard and bad. I am not sure if he playing intentionally super bad, or was he drunk or something.
He didn’t pick up bonuses which are laying around in the boxes and contain weapons and 1 hit damage protection. He didn’t push rocks which will kill several enemies on the way. How much NES games you saw where you can push a huge boulder to smash enemies? It’s really cool!
The game is not easy, but so are many games on NES. Would you call Megaman, Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden and many others a worthless garbage just because they are hard right from the beginning? I would not.
AVGN’s video is hereif you really want to. The game trashing starts from around 22:38

OVER OBJ by Little Sound Homebrew SHMUP game that tries to deliver huge amount of objects on screen at the same time.
With the compromise of background removal.
The game looks kinda generic, repetitive and very challenging. It’s a bullet hell game that will be tense all the way through. The music choice is horrible in my opinion. It does not match the cosmic atmosphere at all.
It doesn’t have any collectibles and powerups. Player has few smart bombs which also gives shield for a short time.
The game is really interesting as an experiment for pushing the limits of the NES/Famicom console. It can be a good choice for hardcore SHMUP players who looking for big challenge.

Valtteri Bottas got helmet designed by his friend Tiffany Cromwell. It’s called Bot-Man and obviously inspired by Pac-Man game. You can see a video in his twitter if you want:
Big database of pirate consoles/clones launched. Someone is trying to organize the info that hangs around the web. In some countries only the pirate consoles were available. The number of those clones are huge.
If you looking for some clone, now the info might be found there.
Clones were quite different, some were as good quality as originals, some had issues.
The shapes of Famiclones(NES-clones) were in all of the kinds. Many mimic higher generations. You can find a famiclone as Sega, SNES, Playstation, Wii and so on.
Below some examples of famiclones:
