Killer Instinct Video Gaming Memories by Imraan Nazir đš️ #Retrogaming
The game was not as fast paced as street fighter but there was a cheat where you could make the gameplay faster. At the Versus screen you needed to press certain buttons to make it faster. I never knew what the cheat was so <Hold RIGHT and all 3 punch buttons. - Ed> I kept on pressing random buttons and the cheat some how worked. I only knew that it had worked as I would hear a sound to confirm the cheat was successful.
There was a huge difference between the arcade version and the SNES version. First thing you could notice was the graphics. The graphics on the arcade was I think 64 bit graphics and I think was originally meant to come out on Nintendo 64. The game ended up coming out on the SNES which was a 16 bit console.
I never did play or see the arcade version out in the wild until recently and as expected there is a huge difference in terms of graphics and animation. The sound track on the SNES version was decent and they kept the arcade announcer which was good.
Another thing about Killer Instinct which was odd was that you could not select the stage you want to fight in on 2 player mode. You could do stage select in Street Fighter but thinking bnack I don't think mortal Kombat had that option.
I found the last boss Eyedol very difficult to defeat. When it came to the second round Eyedol had the
ability to put his own energy bar back up which I found so annoying. It took me multiple times to defeat
Eyedol but I got there in the end!
Overall I have always enjoyed this game and I still play it till this day.
Thanks for reading đ

My First SNES Game | Video Gaming Memories by Imraan Nazir đŽđ¤đĨđ¤ #RetroGaming #SuperNintendo
My local chicken shop had the street fighter 2 arcade machine and used to play it with my older brother. I could never do the moves and I would always lose. I was always player 2 for some reason. Till this day never knew why that was.
In 1992 Street Fighter 2 came out on the Super Nintendo. This put Nintendo on the map. Street Fighter 2 was only available for Super Nintendo. This meant that anyone with a Sega Mega Drive had to buy a Super Nintendo to play the game.
There was a poster that came out saying 'Street Fighter 2...Sega owners dream on'.

Jon Hare Talks To Rich About Sociable Soccer 25, Banana Shots and Beef & Horseradish Sandwiches ⚽đĨĒđ @Sociable_Soccer @jonhare
Jon Hare has been a video game design hero for me since the days of Microprose Soccer, Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder and SWOS to just name a few great games that Jon had a hand in making.
Jon is now fully committed to delivering a new and fun footy experience across PC and consoles in the form of Sociable Soccer and it's iterations since 2017.
When I was given the opportunity to ask Jon a few questions I obviously leapt at the chance and then thought what the hell do I ask the guy who created one of the finest football video games to ever be created...
So I regressed to 12 year old me and all was good...

15 Arnold Schwarzenegger Related Video Games (just because I was feeling nostalgic for Arnie Movie Tie Ins) đĨđ #RetroGaming
Like most kids of the 80s and 90s I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and then playing the associated video game tie in. Common knowledge is that these movie tie ins were of varying degrees of good and often were awful. But as a kid who was often in a video games shop with a five pound note to spend all I had to go on was the box art and the name of the game. In my head this meant if it was Arnie film tie in then it had a good chance that it might be good.....right?
Any way recently I started digging up some old Arnie related video games using Moby Games and a list from Wikipedia of all of Arnie's films and I started to begin pulling together a nice list of all the Arnie films and the associated video game tie ins.
So sit back and 'let off some steam (Bennett)' as I take you through some of the Arnie gems and rotten apples that I found on my Arnie nostalgia trip.

Soccer Supremos Play By Mail "I was Manager Of Norwich City In 1993" ⚽️ @SoccerSupremos
Back in my school days, there was a golden period of time in secondary school in the early 90s when I was manager of Norwich City and my star player was Kenny Irons.
Norwich was a struggling club that didn’t have many good players in their ranks but one player that would consistently score for the Canaries in my tenure was Kenny.
This led to me being phoned on a daily basis to be asked whether I would part with Kenny Irons as other managers (such as the Blackburn manager) were very keen to harness Kenny’s goal-scoring talent in a more suitable team.
I never gave in to the bids and I think my experience as a manager was better for it as I built my journeyman team around King Kenny and led them to mid-table mediocrity!

Life on Mars: Genesis Kai Magazine Software SEGA Mega Drive Review 8.5/10 "There’s life in the Mega Drive, as well!" đ #SEGA #SegaGenesis #IndieGames #GameDev
When Life on Mars: Genesis was announced, I was excited due to the fact that there were so few (if any) Metroidvania titles on the Mega Drive. I’m a fan of the genre, especially the shorter, snappier releases such as Shadow Complex.
