This blog is my weird little hobby / obsession. I love playing and sharing strange, unknown games, and I love connecting with people who enjoy them too. ]

quote [ The health meter in video games wasn?t always so commonplace. It took time, iterations, and various incarnations before it converged to what we know now. ]

quote [ From board games to stunted game systems, the many attempts to turn VHS into a platform for games ran into a big problem: There was only one way forward. ]
