I'd make the argument that Thundercade was one of Micronics' better efforts compared to 1942 and Athena. I'm sure the arcade version is good. I don't think it's on Arcade Archives.

Well it looks as if they did Atomic Robo-kid on Genesis? Up to this point I thought their only 16-bit game was Raiden Trad Super NES.

Oh man. I have floppies for the X68k version of G2 (let me tell you, the MIDI music is AMAZING), but you're making me want to fire up the Towns now!

Genocide!! There's one I haven't seen many people give a solid attempt at! I wish you the best, particularly with the super jank first title lol. The second one is still very much a Zoom game, but it's really fun at least!

That's indeed the last boss! It took me at least a dozen tries, and many were dependent on getting the Spread gun and holding onto it with dear life. It's almost entirely necessary at the first phase with the descending tentacles. After that, there's the bit with the spiked tongue that you have to push upward with bullets, and then the eyes themselves... and there's one more brief phase after that but I think you just have to shoot it a lot in a limited timeframe to win.

I really enjoyed the game. It's a blatant Super C ripoff but that's exactly what I wanted out of it.

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing all the best to fellow gamers.

Games I enjoyed the most in 2023 were:
- Atomic Heart (PC) - amazing atmosphere and music, solid gameplay. I really enjoyed this one. The first story DLC released later that year was not so interesing unfortunately.
- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PC) - short and fun Uncharted spin-off.
- Only Up! (PC). This is one of the scariest games I have ever played. Damn I had my hands shaking when I finally beat it. This is a masterpiece.
- Dead Space Remake (PC). Very competent remake which added a lot to the old DS formula.
- Die Hard (TurboGrafx-16). Top-down action game which is fun to play. The music is great too.
- Quake: Dimension of the Machine (PC). This year I replayed Quake 1 and all it's official addons and I had a blast. The Dimension of the Machine addon stands out for pushing the game's limits to the max with its level design.
- Resident Evil 3 (PC). This one's very different from the source material and it's quite short. It was fun.
- Spiritfarer (PC). A beautiful game about death, we really enjoyed this one in co-op.
- Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES). This one is easier than the first two DKC games and it plays really well.
- The Callisto Protocol (PC). This one was criticized a lot but I have a soft spot for games like this.
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PC). This game was criticized too back when it was released. And those who judged it rashly were wrong, obviously. Once I got into it it was fun and engaging experience, just like the prequel. I still need to play the DLCs.
- Super Cyborg (PC). This is *just* a Contra ripoff but it is very competent in its presentation and design. I'm currently stuck at the last boss which apparently has more than 5 forms...

The worst game I played in 2023 was Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code (PSP) - slow and boring piece of crap. And people praised it back in 2006, I can't believe that...

Hey Mario wonder coop ? Who did u okay it with?

Bland? Then I don't regret ditching my copy years back. A massive disappointment it must be overall, coming from Sakaguchi and music by Uematsu. I hear Pandora's Tower is equally not that great!

Thanks for the add. Hope you're all well!

Hello, fellow Domingo fan! Thanks for the add.

So, I finished all of the DLC this week as well. I did enjoy the ClapTrap DLC at the end as it was a nice wrap up for the game and all of the DLC beforehand. I found a way to cheese the final boss, so I was able to beat it by myself, so that was nice. I wish there were more ClapTraps to fight because I did not complete the ClapTrap parts side mission as I would have to grind on them for quite a while and it just wasn't worth it.

I then tried the Mad Moxxi one again and found out that it scaled to my level, so that didn't help. I'd have to go through all these waves slowly and methodically just so that I don't die and do them in three different areas. I also never went after the Ultimate Boss that I needed to be in the 60s to try. I would have needed to go through the entire game a second time to even come close to that level. And since I wasn't going for , I just decided to stop and just move on.

When I beat the original Borderlands, I really wanted to play more of it. I also wanted to be caught up in the story going into the second game. I can safely say that the DLC accomplished both goals as I am up to date going into Borderlands 2 and I do not have a desire to play more Borderlands for quite a while. I probably wait until like 2025 or something.

It had its good points and its bad points, but I think I enjoyed it overall though. Very interesting for my very first DLC. I am glad that we play through it at the same time!
