At long last... after all the ups and downs, delays and even a pandemic, my Deluxe Bundle has finally arrived! I can't wait to start attaching the modules and loading this up with pure nostalgia and trying out systems like the Saturn and PCengine that I've never tried before.

This is a great day 🥳

Well done Polymega you did good. I hope for a brighter future ❤️

Fallen a bit behind with updates on here so here's a few of my 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘂𝗽𝘀! 🎮 🕹 !

Yoshi's Island has been one of those games I've waited to play on real hardware, so it's purposely evaded me until now.

Theme Park I got free as part of a bundle.

Very happy to get these two and to finally be abke to play Yoshi's Island after all these years.

I've never owned/played a Saturn before, and as I'm due delivery (eventually) of a , I can finally delve into this whole new system to me head on. I have picked out some of the best the system has to offer as well as some just for my personal taste.

As an addition, I picked up Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine SuperCD, a system I have no familiarty with at all, so looking forward to breaking new ground with this one.

I've been meaning to cross off some heavy hitters and 2 of them arrived at once ❤️

Always wanted to play Metal Gear on original NES hardware!

New Ghostbusters 2 I've wanted to try for years, huge fan of the GameBoy version growing up, so can't wait to try it out!

Happy to one of the true 16-BIT greats and one of the best arcade games of any era,

It still stands as one of the most iconic racers ever made along with one of the best soundtracks that you could ever hope to drive to.

So many fond memories of playing the arcade cabinet version of this, just seeing the title screen puts a smell and place in my head from my childhood trips to the FunFair where this cabinet would be.

at its best!

Congrats to and Warriner for this amazing book and successful . So happy to finally have this in my hands ❤️

On a personal note, Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment you've brought into my life. 🎮❤️

ESWAT was one of my very first 16-BIT experiences and it still holds a big place in my heart today. I always thought the design of the game, the levels, enemies, boss fights, and the cutscenes looked great (even now) with a good level of detail, use of colour and exection of tone in each stage. Hell, even the music is iconic of the time making brilliant use of the MegaDrives limited capabilites, it in some ways outdid a lot of games that came after in that regard.

For an early era MegaDrive game they really were pushing the new tech with this to see what it was capable of. It could have been just a simple port of the arcade original but they put together a game that I think stands higher than the coin-op iteration and that puts ESWAT in very rare company indeed.

It's a bit simple by today's standards, although the difficult does ramp up very quickly, but if you have a game genie and a spare hour I highly recommend what I think is an underrated gem.

(Also, the Box/Cartridge Art is one of my personal favourites. It screams of late 80s/early 90s and I love it.)
