I'm happy to introduce my new NES homebrew game, Ranaga! It's an arcade-style vertically scrolling shooter featuring randomized waves of enemies. See how long you can survive! Programmed in assembly without any generative AI! You can download it and play it for free at arnpoly.itch.io/ranaga

If you’re looking for a new NES game to play this weekend, I’ve got you covered! Check out Ranaga! arnpoly.itch.io/ranaga

Finally beat Xevious for #210! I really had fun playing this one even though it got infuriating in some of the later stages. The final score is the best photo proof I have but I think it shows the skill enough.

I went to the dentist today and I got to hear all the tea about his wife being pregnant and how they are starting to tell people now including everyone at the dentist office. I was one of the first to know!

Last time I was at the store with my parents, we were looking at novelty socks and my mom picked these up and said quietly, "Undertale?"

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends

Nintendo Direct is scheduled for tomorrow (June 9th) at 7 AM PT

Pleased to say that I did the deed last night! 70+ hours and 562 attempts, whew! Heck of a gaming accomplishment! Now I can put my focus on Mina (and Faxanadu!)

I have been trying to get the true ending in Spelunky HD for a few months. I was hoping to finish before Mina the Hollower is out on Friday. I’ve been to the final level so any run could be the run!

I defeated the final boss and then died on the way to the exit door…

Finished Rock ‘n’ Ball last night! 208 games completed. The battle pinball boards are such a cool idea for two player, but they were pretty annoying against the CPU. Next up is Faxanadu. I’ve never played this! I’m pretty hyped about getting into it.

After struggling in Rock’n’ Ball for quite some time, I finally scored 1.1M and got first place! The other sub-games should be much easier, then I can make this one completed! Yay!

I’ve been bad at updating but I’ve also been good at clearing more NES games! - 204 Kickle Cubicle - 205 Goal! - 206 Super Pitfall - 207 Last Action Hero - 208 Rock ‘n Ball (in progress!)
