PrimeDidact’s Games Blog

I love gaming. I love discussing what Im currently playing and discussing how games from my past have affected me.

Finished Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. Having beaten NG1 just prior I can confirm that not only is 2 a very good game, the two games despite their differences in age hold up very well.

A particularly cool scene from Ninja Gaiden 2 Black.

The clarity of the screen on the PlayStation Portal is unreal. 8 inch LCD 1080p and 60fps. Games that run at 4K downscale for the screen’s capabilities to make for one crisp clean image. One week in and so far I’m impressed.

So much loss, grief, the “need for revenge”, letting go, and then the need to move forward. Idk that the story should have a 3rd game. I like the way it ended. It ended in such a poetic way.

Just got Elden Pixel’s Alwa’s Collection for the Playstation in the mail today. I got Alwa’s Awakening for my Evercade EXP just last week but I knew I needed both games! Now I can play the series, and still have one of them for my handheld!

I recently returned to video game collecting. I officially stopped in the early aughts due to my wife and I starting a family. My kids are all grown and either I’m the middle of college or in their adult careers. So I’ve decided to get it back going. Before I do, I thought I’d give a bit of history on myself.

The earliest game I remember playing is Pac Man for the Atari 2600. I honestly don’t remember if it was the first game I played. I was around 5 years old.

I haven’t stopped playing video games since. I’ve played hundreds upon hundreds and owned every major console or handheld, and some not so major consoles and handhelds (NGage anyone?).

I’ve recently started using my Tumblr again to blog my gaming efforts. it’s been pretty cleansing and therapeutic to do all of this. it’s made me feel more positive and constructive.

I hope you’ll join me and follow me on my journey back into gaming. I’ll be documenting my collecting of anything and everything that catches my eye.

If you’re interested, join me in my Discord and let’s talk about our games and what not!

Toaplan Arcade 1 compilation released today for the Evercade Platform. The Evercade EXP released today, but I have to wait for mine to get here all the way from the UK! Who knows if I’ll even be alive by then!

Earthbound Begginings on the NES.

Gonna pull the trigger on this after Christmas!

Picked up an unsealed copy of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. If you’re a retro gamer, a collector, a historian of any level then this is the game for you. This title has set a new standard for how a celebration style compilation should be done. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up and see for yourself.

Combat on the Atari 2600 is the earliest memory I have of gaming on a home console. My parents bought the Wood Grain system along with Pac Man. Over the years we’d get a number of games for the system. While most of the games just aren’t playable anymore due to age and progression of gameplay and technology. I’ll always have some wonderful memories of this game and system.

Bought Need For Speed Unbound today and so far so good! I made it through the initial training race, did a little character customization, and a couple real races. I like what I’ve played so far! Also the soundtrack has been fire!

Picked up this gem the other day. I’ve never beat any of the Grand Theft Auto games. So, I’ve decided to make beating them some what of a side project. I’ve started with GTAIII. We’ll see how it goes!

Skies of Arcadia for the Sega Dreamcast. I’m glad I’ve finally got a hold of this gem! I’m really enjoying getting back into retro gaming and collecting again.

[primedidact]

Two pick ups for my newly created Dreamcast collection! Skies of Arcadia and a VMU.

Built the arms and shoulder armor. Attached said arms and the head. The head was not easy. I ended up having to take it apart and pull the neck out to attach it and then reattach it to the body. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVf5IaIL4Rp/?utm_medium=tumblr
