A little while back, I decided to make some shorts that show parts of a cover, backside and the game and see if you can guess what it is before the reveal at the end. I never thought I would ever do 100 of them. I finally posted the 100th video (see below). It has…
“It’s a Game Boy Color with a less-than-optimal playing experience”. Remember Chris “LeggoMyFroggo” Hackmann? He’s famous for creating the Frog Boy Color and Tad Boy Color, but his next project is perhaps the most ambitious (and unhinged) yet – he’s created a Game Boy Color you can wear on your wrist.

The range includes T-shirts and hoodies, but what caught my eye was a rug shaped like Utan, the machine-gun-toting monkey from the…
“Coordinated execution is the key to victory”. I certainly didn’t have this on my 2026 bingo card, but Sunsoft is reviving its 1998 PS1 action adventure title Hard Edge (also known as T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group – Mission of Mercy) as a tactical card battler.

‘Sega Universe’ project teases new developments. Sega has just announced the ‘Sega Universe’ initiative in Japan, which appears to be based around reviving IP like OutRun, NiGHTS, Sakura Wars, Segagaga and Guardian Heroes.

I pulled something off the shelf the other day that I haven’t looked at in a while. It’s an old cartridge from the Atari 2600. The game: Adventure. You don’t need to be into games to follow this; it’s more about the connection than anything else. I was about ten when the Atari 2600 came…
