THIS right here is the peak of video games. No structure, no consistency, no playtesting, just you and 100 goofy-looking guys on a parallax background

It had potential, only feels like SEGA scrapped it cause it would compete with their own SOR1.

Blazing Lazers
Blazing Lazers
After so many countless accolades from PC-E-heads (including Kanye???), I was blown away that this was identical to every other Compile game but maybe a little worse.
Dogyuun
Dogyuun
This and Zero Wing continue proving that whenever Toaplan tries to do art direction, horrible game design isn't far beyond the corner
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Fantastic sequel in about every respect and peak of the series
Hotdog Storm
Hotdog Storm
Mid iirc but the music was good

PC-Engine shmups are dime a dozen but the ones with name-brand recognition really are something special, great game

Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman 3: Ikai no Princess
Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman 3: Ikai no Princess
Behind every cool/cute PC-E anime character is... a suite of nice cutscenes with no gameplay???
Samurai-Ghost
Samurai-Ghost
It was mid when I played it but I know it's the kind of brainmulch I would rot myself on if I had hardware to play it on
Lords of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
I didn't like how this played especially, but it's Lords of Thunder, it's metal, that's all that matters y'know?

Very good handheld port, probably one of the best GG games (not a high bar)
Darius Plus
Darius Plus
Good Darius 1 port, but not as good as MD Extra Version
Team Sonic Racing
Team Sonic Racing
This was really solid when in the spots where it wasn't obviously unfinished. I really wish I didn't have to say that about every new Sonic game.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
This is great for like the first 2 cups and then it keeps going and going. Good roster tho
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Abominable, downright rancid balancing, thoroughly miserable, weakest of the Advance games, but still had some cool moments

Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou
Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou
Gradius is kinda like a bad sexual partner. Keeps pumping and pumping, and then once he blows his load, totally useless
Start Again: A Prologue
Start Again: A Prologue
A very tender and well-considered introspection into the vicious cycle of loneliness and intrusive thinking and how it takes us away from people who need help just as much as we do

But the gameplay sucks lmao
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Easy argument for the best kart-style racer if it didn't have such overbearing CPU difficulty
Mickey's Speedway USA
Mickey's Speedway USA
Rareware fans are the only acceptable developer fans to mock. Actually that's not true, there's many others. But it's fun excluding rareware fans. Fuck rareware.

THEY MASSACRED MY BOY
Psychic World
Psychic World
Very unique structure and vibes, definitely recommended for MS/GG-heads

Mid, arguably dogshit, but it has Pastel and the Moai
Kenseiden
Kenseiden
Mid. Did you know someone's making a fan sequel to this for MD with ripped sprites from other games? Very cool.
Power Strike
Power Strike
The better half of the MS library is unfortunately still mid. Heard this is better on MSX?
Tempo
Tempo
This was awful, I was way too generous to this just on merit of novelty
Tempo Jr.
Tempo Jr.
This was also bad but more in a 'baby game with no meat on its bones' kind of way
Power Strike II
Power Strike II
We need more steampunkish halcyon shmups... made by anyone but the british
Gunstar Heroes
Gunstar Heroes
Why did they port this to GG? Just to flex I guess
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
A good, different direction for the series to end on, but it's poorly balanced in the exact opposite way every other AW game is. Very odd.
In the Groove
In the Groove
Mid but it gave us Stepmania so I'm still winning
Arch Rivals
Arch Rivals
It's just bad NBA Jam!
Barkley: Shut Up and Jam!
Barkley: Shut Up and Jam!
It's just bad NBA Jam!

Mario Kart DS
When I played this at 6 years old it rocked my world, 3D on handheld that went above and beyond its console sibling titles blew my mind. And it's still great today!

Tetris for indie devs?
Sonic Riders
Sonic Riders
Honestly? This is the best Sonic game to come out of the post-DC era until Mania
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
This is one of the worst sequels I've played in my life

A big mixed bag but worth a look if you like MKDS

Ridiculous and very cool
Cycle Chaser H-5
Cycle Chaser H-5
My first self-published game, I look back on it with a lot of bitterness, but doesn't everyone do that to their first big project? Learned a lot from the mistakes I made here as I look ahead to my next game
The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog
The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog
Incredibly based for confirming that Amy is, in fact, a white woman
