If unfamiliar with the game, it's a platformer where you navigate using a bionic arm and swinging mechanic. It was a lot of fun, though the final stage was a doozy so be prepared if you give it a try. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #Twitch #Remake #ModernRetro #BionicCommando #Steam #PC #Shinkiro

I recently played through Bionic Commando Rearmed, which was a remake of the classic NES game. The updated graphics and music were great, and the controls felt pretty good. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #Twitch #Remake #ModernRetro #TwitchStreamer #BionicCommando #Steam #PC #Xbox360 #PS3 #Shinkiro

The humor was a bit on the adult side, with references to the characters having hazy smoke filled birthdays, so keep that in mind if you give it a try. The game is free on Steam, so definitely check it out. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Indie #IndieGame #SteamGame #FreeGame #ClayGame

I recently played a really interesting #IndieGame called #ClayGame by Andy Schmitt and #EverythingLab. The game was a fun puzzle adventure with voice acted cutscenes, and it's full of really impressive hand modeled clay characters, backgrounds, and even fonts. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Indie

That's where the game shines to me. The difficulty level of #retro #ContraGames are pretty steep for me, so I won't judge it based on my skill level, but I will say that I actually enjoyed the #GameBoy version a lot more overall. If you love #RunAndGun games, give this a shot. | twitch.tv/grescokit

I recently played through #Contra III The Alien Wars for #SuperNintendo ( #ContraSpirits in Japan). I played the #GameBoy version a while back, a really fun port, so I decided to check it out on #SNES. This version had impressive #PixelArt and backgrounds, and great music. | twitch.tv/grescokit

It worked surprisingly well, and it even had some really cool motorcycle stages that played a lot like the Road Rash games, but on a #GBA. Really impressive, and worth a try for sure. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #Marvel #MarvelMay #GhostRider #GameBoyAdvance #JohnnyBlaze

I'm celebrating #MarvelMay this month, testing out some random #Marvel games. I recently played #GhostRider for #GameBoyAdvance. The PS2 version of this game played like classic God of War, and the #GBA version was like a scaled back 2d version of that. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming

It was a really fun beat em up with lightsabers and force abilities, and I really loved the art style. I played the Obi-Wan path this time, so I'll have to try it again as Anakin some day. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #GBA #StarWars #RevengeOfTheSith #ObiWan #Anakin #BeatEmUp

May the 4th be with you? Nah, it's Revenge of the 5th! Tonight I played through Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith for GBA, which was made by Ubisoft, and also available for Nintendo DS. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #GBA #StarWars #RevengeOfTheSith #ObiWan #Anakin #BeatEmUp

The main game was a really great time, but there's also a boss rush, and a challenge mode for additional fun. Definitely check this one out, available on #Steam and #Itchio. @sinclairstrange.bsky.social @scarletmoon.bsky.social | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #Indie #IndieGame #Platformer

Tonight I played through a really cute indie game called #SirNoggin by @sinclairstrange.bsky.social and @scarletmoon.bsky.social. It was a retro style #platformer with classic #Sega vibes, beautiful artwork, and the ost was nostalgic fire. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #Indie #IndieGame

With beautiful artwork, tight controls, and fun boss battles, this was an absolute blast to play. If you're a fan of #Metroidvanias, both games in the series are a must play, in my opinion. @eldenpixels.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with this one! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #IndieGame

I recently played through Alwa's Legacy by @eldenpixels.bsky.social. The sequel to Alwa's Awakening, this #IndieGame took its #retro style from 8 to 16-bit style. The weapon and magic system was great, and the warp mechanic made the map easily navigable. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #EldenPixels

This game was inspired by games like #AlienSoldier and #GunstarHeroes, and featured 30 boss fights in what was essentially a boss rush from start to finish. It was a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend giving it a try. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #RunAndGun #IndieGame #PCGame #SteamGame #Twitch

On tonight's stream I played an indie run and gun game called #DisasterArms - Impact Project B.A.H.N. by @pd-cgt.bsky.social. The hand drawn art style was really nice, adding a smooth animated vibe to a hectic bullet hell. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RunAndGun #IndieGame #PCGame #SteamGame

This Saturday, 11 April, I'm playing an #IndieGame called Disaster Arms - Impact Project B.A.H.N. by @pd-cgt.bsky.social. It's a run and gun reminiscent of Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier with a fun art style. Stream starts at 6pm Pacific, so stop by and check it out! | twitch.tv/grescokit

There's even a multiplayer mode that lets you defend the galaxy with your friends. This game was a lot of fun, so head on over to Steam and check it out! | store.steampowered.com/app/4209410/... | #Twitch #TwitchStreamer #Retro #ModernRetro #IndieGame #Steam #MoonlightWorkshop #Asteroid69 #PCGame

Tonight I played a really neat #IndieGame by @mlworkshopllc.bsky.social called #Asteroid69. More than a mere remake of the Atari arcade classic, it also has an enhanced mode with updated graphics, and unlockable weapons and ship upgrades. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #ModernRetro #Steam

It had a bunch of different unlockable color themes, which you could change on the fly, and it made the cute minimalistic art shine. Check this one out if you're into Metroidvanias! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #ModernRetro #IndieGame #Indie #Metroidvania #GatoRoboto #CatGame #CuteCat #Metroid

I recently played an indie game called Gato Roboto. This was a Metroidvania style platformer in which you play as a cute little kitty in a robo suit, like Samus in Metroid. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #ModernRetro #IndieGame #Indie #Metroidvania #GatoRoboto #CatGame #CuteCat #Metroid

This Saturday April 4th I'll be playing an #IndieGame called #Asteroid69 by dev @mlworkshopllc.bsky.social. A modern take on #arcade classic #Asteroids with upgraded mechanics and co-op play. Stop by Saturday night to see it in action. Available now on #Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4209410/...

The graphics were great, a definite high point, and done in that classic #LucasArts style. I don't think I'd recommend this one, but if you like a bit of retro torture, give it a shot! 😂 | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #MechaMarch #Mecha #MechaGame #SNES #SuperNintendo

I recently played through #MetalWarriors for #SNES. This was a #mecha game made by #LucasArts and published by #Konami. I found it to be extremely difficult, but if you can make your way through it, it was a pretty interesting game. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #MechaMarch

While it was a bit short at only 5 stages, the difficulty made up for it in the later stages. It was a shmup that even had a couple platforming stages. Happy Mecha March! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #RetroGames #BattleUnitZeoth #MechaMarch #MechGame #Mech #SHMUP #GameBoy #Jaleco

I recently participated in Mecha March, an event celebrating mech games. I played Battle Unit Zeoth for Game Boy. A pretty unique and fun game worth a play through.| twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #RetroGames #BattleUnitZeoth #MechaMarch #MechGame #Mech #SHMUP #GameBoy #Jaleco

It felt similar, but also like an entirely different game, with a really cool final boss. If you enjoyed the NES game, this one is definitely worth playing. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #Nintendo #GameBoy #KidIcarus #Platformer #PlatformingGame

Tonight I played through Kid Icarus Of Myths And Monsters for Game Boy. It was essentially the same story as the NES game, but with different bosses and dungeon layouts. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #Nintendo #GameBoy #KidIcarus #Platformer #PlatformingGame

I even did a second loop to get the best ending where Pit gets a little smooch from the goddess #Palutena. Give this one a try if you like tough #platformers, but don't be afraid to use a map for the fortress stages, they get long and mazey. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #NES #KidIcarus

Tonight I finished up Kid Icarus for NES. I've always wanted to play this one since I was a kid, and overall it was a lot of fun. It definitely had a learning curve, but got easier as you leveled up. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #NES #Platformer #PlatformingGame #KidIcarus
