Streets of Rage. I can hear the synthwave blasting from back in 1993.

6 more...

Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of

  1. columns (Tetris wannabe, I loved it )
  2. Golden axe
  3. ? (I can't remember, maybe Tactical Enforcer?)
  4. Streets of Rage (My single favorite game from 2nd grade until Virtual Cop came out a few years later. I believe Street of Rage is the game currently on this amazing posters Wombo style television screen.)

But Sewer Shark was my first real game for Sega CD and my 2nd grade mind was not prepared. Young me thought I was dumb and couldn't do it because I was little.....nah that game is just rough.

That right there, is a jam.

Solid Sega Genesis game right there.

I've been really enjoying Frontier Ruckus's new album On The Northline.

I discovered this album while working for a hospice equipment rental company. It helped me understand the emotions of people going through such intense loss. It's beautiful and ugly at the same time. It somehow manages to capture the full spectrum of emotions of that experience. This is one of the great albums of this millennium. I don't know how the artist captured it so well, but I hope he found some relief from his hospice experience by creating that album. 10/10.

Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. It's a real time strategy game with a larger regional map where you control simple supply lines and troop movement between battlefields. My two brothers and I would sit and watch each other play for hours because we just had the one computer back in the late 90's/early 2000's. We made a stupid rule that you had to be present to get your turn so we would often wait nearby for several hours for our chance at glory/survival.

Frontier Ruckus is a band that I grew up alongside. I shamelessly plug them whenever I get a chance. They make music about the places I grew up and sing about it in a way that makes me feel so close to it. Their new album just came out, but their first 2 albums are their standout. The Orion Songbook and Deadmalls and Nightfalls.
