I've got a couple of emulated picks this week, and they are;


McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Mega Drive), which I somehow never heard of back in the day, and which my other half recommended to me recently. It's a platformer starring Ronald McDonald as he pieces together a treasure-map, from a time when we were still allowed to have fun mascots promoting fun treats. From what little I've played so far, it's a very charming and well-presented game that's easy to pick up and handles nicely, and I'm really glad that I tried it out.

And...


Biker Mice From Mars (SNES), which I first played last year and wanted to revisit this week. This one is an isometric racing-game with RC-car-style controls. I'll be playing as the masked rebel rodent Vinnie, since he was always my favourite of the Biker Mice.

[+..••] Other stuff that I played this week;


Stardew Valley (Native Linux)


Stumble Guys (Proton)


Super Bomberman 2 (SNES)

I saw this one and I immediately thought of He-Man! "I HAVE THE POOOWERRRRRR!!".

Friday night had a good time at this bar/club that has two machines devoted to SNK games. Played some Metal Slug 2 and Samurai Shodown 3.

Tonight got some ppl coming over and we are going to play Dolphin Blue on Dreamcast and attempt to end X-Men 2 Clone Wars on Sega Genesis just to gush about the new X-Men show.

Tomorrow my wife and her sisters are coming over for mother's day and she wants to play MK2 with them so I will be playing some of that as well.

I have heard of this before but I have never played it..... Funnily enough I have heard that it is actually a good game..... At they very least ive heard its much better than M.C. Kids......

Awesome choices, all of them! And that reminds me, I need to play the original Metal Slug at some point - it's one of those games I started on ages ago, but then never finished.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderHow is that different from normal????.......
Well, I'm pretty sure that I've been playing more emulated stuff this year than I did at the same time for the last couple of years, which was when I started keeping track of it.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderI have heard of this before but I have never played it..... Funnily enough I have heard that it is actually a good game..... At they very least ive heard its much better than M.C. Kids......
It is a good game! It's a bit short, but it's lovely throughout.

M.C. Kids itself (which was titled "McDonaldland" here in the UK) is supposed to be alright, too, if memory serves, though I've never played it so I don't know that first-hand. I grew up with the Game Gear version of Mick & Mack: Global Gladiators, which featured the same characters; I liked it at the time, but it definitely hasn't aged well and commits a number of game-design crimes (having tried the Mega Drive version too, I'd say I found that one even worse, unfortunately). McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is definitely better than that one!

Hahahaha! I guess that the Aussie equivalent would've been "Koala Bikies From Pluto"?

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderOoooooooo...... A strange capsule...... That is a VERY rare event......
YEAH! I looked it up after it happened and was surprised that it had!

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderIm guessing you are the robot???....... Why arnt you playing as the Penguin???.......
Because I got a robot!

Now that's going to be stuck in my head all day. Thanks for that...
