While I was scrolling BlueSky, I came across a trend that mentioned posting a game you feel as if you’re the only person who played it.
Danger Girl came to mind. I asked my mother to buy it for me because I liked the box art. It wasn’t my cup of tea, at the time, nor did I know it was based on comics, but older me wants to revisit it now.

So, Kingsley's Adventure for #PS1 is a good example of picking a game to play on a whim. I saw the thumbnail, title screen, and a screenshot and I knew I had to play it.
It has a fox with a sword! How could I say no?!
Playing as Kingsley the fox, we are saving the fruit kingdom from Bad Custard, who has stolen the book of magic from the castle.
The game has a lot of charm. From the character models to the environment design, the music. All these things set you up for a good time... Until you start wrestling with the controls. Tanky control in a platformer is a choice I don't agree with. The jumping at times will be your biggest hurdle as it can be difficult to gauge distances.
If the controls don't turn you off, the game itself is a decent little jaunt. It's under baked in places, combat is basic, villages are populated by devoid of additional content besides finding the right person to talk to.
It wasn't a bad way to spend my Sunday.
What kind of #PS1 Morrowind Dagoth Ur Facility nonsense is this?!
If anyone recognises this location from a 1999 PlayStation game, I will be very impressed!

Today is also the 26th anniversary of the first 'Silent Hill' game, released back in 1999, developed by Konami's Team Silent. It may have yet to receive the remake treatment that Silent Hill 2 has, but it is definitely remains a masterpiece in its own right that kickstarted the series that shaped and defined the survival horror genre.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the first 'Fear Effect', originally intended to be named 'Fear Factor'. The game stood out for its action and horror elements inspired by Chinese mythology, its mind-bending puzzles, and its characteristic cel-shaded graphics. Whether you agree or not that it was "better than the Matrix", like the PlayStation Plus magazine claimed, it's a shame that the series didn't get the proper revival it deserved because it definitely has its devoted fans.

...3D polygon graphics.
The developers chose this technique because having full 3D graphics would not allow them to create graphically rich and detailed environments.
#RetroTrivia about the game consoles of our childhood
...The shown Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes debuted in arcades in 1998.
Ports to the Dreamcast and PlayStation soon followed in 1999.
Rather than strictly using Street Fighter characters, the game included characters from other Capcom video game franchises, such as Mega Man, Morrigan, and Strider Hiryu.
Think back 30 years: It's Christmas 1994
Which of these late '94 release titles would you like to find under the Christmas tree?

Grown-up kids, welcome!
While there were multiple consoles plugged into CRT television sets to try-out, I was fascinated mainly with game and hardware collections - clear case XBOX developer kit was on display, along with vast collection of Sony PlayStation consoles followed by game series
Had a super interesting chat with exhibitor - gaming enthusiast and hobbyist collector Gediminas Bartkus, who told more about last version of PS2 fat and first revision of PS2 slim on display, series of Resident Evil and my personal favourite - Need for Speed franchise. That is the 1st time I've seen that many old NFS discs in one place!
Also Mr. Bartkus endorsed Konami's Kaido Racer 2 for 2 as one of the greatest drifting games (predating and inspiring NFS Underground) where the right balance of certain car parts affected impressively lot - it was much more complicated than buying top performance packs
Day 1 of #PRGE complete and picked up this PaRappa the Rapper canvas print! I love this series so much! I'm going to probably get a TMNT The Arcade Game one tomorrow

As I've seen many people here celebrating the recent release of the 4K Reforged Edition of the genre defining #BrokenSword 1, today's #RetroTrivia will be about the PS1 port from 1996:
Whereas the original PC version runs at 640x480 pixels, the PS1 halves the vertical resolution to 320x240 due to the consoles technical limitations. This leads to...

I never owned a #PS1 either. There's plenty of racing, and fighting games there, but not a whole lot of co-op games.
A hidden gem I've found is "Bugs Bunny & Taz Timebusters"; a 3D collect-em-up. It controls pretty well for an early 3D platformer.
