![]() ![]() Beat Hazard stands alone, but I've been poking at finishing off Beat Hazard 2 here and there for years, so when I inevitably manage that I'll put it there.īehold the Kickmen bills itself, facetiously, as a completely accurate football game. Two, that all of them except one are franchise games that I'll bring up another entry in later, so I'll just roll them in there. One, that I last played any of them on the brighter half of COVID, which may as well have been about 35 years ago at this point. We're going to start here, ahead of the six listed in the OP, for two reasons. Says enough that the introduction story was longer than the recap.īEHOLD THE KICKMEN (SIZE FIVE GAMES, 2017) It's a simple loop with a lot of depth under it to keep you playing, and it mostly worked for me. Being an arcade game, there's not much to talk about. Some were nasty, some I aced on the first try. Getting the top scores in 10-minute mode was trivial, so most of the actual game was the Crazy Box - a series of 12 short challenges. Kind of a quiet one to start this project with. She still whips my ass at racing games to this day, and I blame that machine.Ģ2 years later, time to dredge it back up. ![]() Problem is, there were two of us and it was pricier than the other singleplayer games, so we played a shitload of Gauntlet Legends mostly. ![]() My sister and I would go into the arcade on base and want to play this fancy arcade machine: Crazy Taxi. A pretty bad year for me overall - rung in the millennium playing Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, a game I'm pretty sure is really terrible I was hospitalized for a week in September for a hip issue that bugs me to this day and worst of all I turned nine. Spyro the Dragon / Ripto's Rage / Year of the Dragonįinished: 20/10/22. There's no schedule, not really, and I don't typically dedicate myself wholly to a game until it's done unless I really like it (Yakuza 6) or a weird bug bites me and I binge it in a weekend (Elderborn). Since I'm at 81 now (and growing!), I'm gonna work through the backlog in chronological order, while also dumping a post about any new game I polish off and put on the shelf as I go. I'm only doing these in retrospective, I won't post about a game before it's done.Ĭaptive audience, but you're also free to debate me in real life (or here) if you think I'm spewing shit, or share your own stories about whatever games I'm postin' about. How was the game, how were the achievements, did I play it on KB+M or which controller, shit like that.

Since March of 2020 I've added 76 more games to that list. Starting at my sixth plat game (Beat Hazard) in 2017, there's a long break, and then lockdown started and I got sent to WFH and had a lot of free time not commuting, being in meetings where nobody could see me, waiting for simulations to run and not going to bother coworkers, suchlike. In 2014 I platted Orcs Must Die! 2 and then Dark Souls in 2015 I added Risk of Rain, Dark Souls 2, and Cook! Serve! Delicious! to that list. I like how the PS calls it platinum, so I'll probably use that as the term for the rest of this thread. When the pandemic started, I had six games at 100% Steam achievements, on an account in constant use since 2005 - or, more relevantly, whenever the hell Steam added achievements. As the title says, I've been playing a lotta Steam games. ![]()
