THE GOONIES II KONAMI 1987 NES

RIP to the guy who played the Best(er) character on Babylon 5. He will be missed.

I played the demo at Spaceworld in August 1999. The most remarkable thing to me at the time was that it took another 8 months for the game to get released. They already had so much of what it would ultimately become in place at SW that it felt to me like it was ready for release then.

A feature was recently added to the GAMEYE app that shows how many other people have logged a particular game in their collection (the number by the + symbol). I’m now obsessed with finding the games with the lowest numbers in my collection since you just know it’s going to be the hottest of trash.

The man was an honest-to-god genius, a true vocal chameleon, an incredible talent, should have had decades ahead of him. An incredible tragedy.

:(

Anticipating a severe outbreak of the “didjahear”s in the chat for BBH’s Twitch streams over the next 48 hours.

Film #9 for the SeptOctober Gauntlet was Wildwood. If this had been a SNES RPG released in the 90s, everyone would speak of it in the same breath as Chrono Trigger and Lufia. A few minor missteps, but those do not a Kubo and the Two Strings make. A tremendous achievement in animation.

Other games sampled last night (some new to him, some old). I think I sold him on Huntdown in like 3 minutes. Even as a Smash Bros. player, The Outfoxies frustrated him a bit, but he may come around on it.

No one loves the sweet, sweet taste of boot more than Bill Maher.

Introduced my boy to this gem of a game tonight. He said the bonuses on the Results screen reminded him of the graphics you’d see on the monitors at a bowling alley.

…I don’t know what I’m even looking at here. Kind of a janky game. (Also, nothing like a boss encounter that tasks you with throwing cars at mech suit guys and gives you almost no cars to throw)

Reminder that AI dubbing will never outdo the GOAT.

“….I’d love to see (Namco) titles from more PARTICULAR eras.” Meaning when exactly? March-April 1987? Over 50 posts and replies and the only specific games I’ve seen this guy mention are the Namco Arrangement games. You can’t just go around saying “more obscure games” and not tell us which ones.

I feel like “Big D*n” should take a “big break” from replying in that Arcade Archives thread. Rarely have I seen someone carry on so much while both getting so much wrong and having so little of substance to add to the discussion.

Sobering thought: What if the titular hero of Captain Commando is *also* a baby in a mech suit (a slimmer suit with more obscured controls)?

Learning new and exciting things about the limitations of this system each and every day.

my hot take is that not only were they correct to make Blues Brothers 2000, they should have kept making them every year with an increasingly old Dan Aykroyd being paired with a revolving series of fat comedians

Oh wow, there’s a “collectibles” store supposedly opening near me that has had its sign up since June with no signs of actually being open yet, and the inventory on their web page is like 95% Funko Pops. Best of luck on that venture!

From the season finale of Slow Horses. LMAO.

FFC review: WILDWOOD, by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2026/10/wild...

Another day, another couple of guys on the pickleball for seniors Facebook group threatening to kill each other

Can someone please explain the Number 4 thing to me like I was…er…4? In this case, is this like President Scroob’s matched luggage combination or something?
