  1. What Have I Been Playing Since July 25th?

    Today's post will be the second post in the "What Have I Been Playing Since ___?" Series! For newcomers to the blog, three things; hello, and thank you for reading my blog. Third, this series is basically a less formal and shorter version of my video game reviews, which I stopped writing on June 10th, 2026. That review was for a mod of Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994: MS-DOS) called Batman Doom (1999: Windows). Over the last almost three months, I have played more games than I have expected, but […]

  6. The motherfucker who invented the cheat menu control combination on #StarWars Shadows of the Empire...

    ...I applaud you. The most inventive way I ever experience for unlocking cheats. Very frustrating too.

  7. Salut la compagnie ! Est- ce que par hasard, il y aurait un·e gamer·euse sur #Rennes qui aurait un jeu de Nintendo 64 à me prêter quelques jours (style de jeu pas important, sauf peut être : pas un jeu de foot) pour tester ma N64 fraîchement sortie du grenier ? D'avance merci !

    (PS : oui c'est pour une revente donc si quelqu'un·e est intéressé·e par une N64 bleu transparent avec une manette supplémentaire, on peut skipper le test 😀 )

  8. New blog post time!

    Nintendo 64 Month ends with Automobili Lamborghini, a racing game brought to you by Titus, the name everybody loves to see on N64 games. It also got a Japan-only re-release with a new name and Taito's help, and that's just so odd I couldn't resist taking a look:

    The Philistines are building their champion across the valley. You have a pouch of stones that doubles as health: loose shots chip boulders, a full wind spends a stone. Every one you take is one their bearers don't get for his armor.

  12. Paper Mario: Star Nova Impressions

    About two weeks ago, I completed a mod for Paper Mario (2001: Nintendo 64) called Paper Mario: Star Nova (2026: Nintendo 64). Unlike the more well-known Paper Mario mods like Paper Mario TTYD64 (2023: Nintendo 64) or Paper Mario: Master Quest (2019: Nintendo 64), Star Nova's story is completely original and takes place in a kingdom called Stellaria. Ironically, this kingdom is located near the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario does not know that until much later in the story. But besides that, Star […]

  13. New blog post time!

    This week's game is 64 de Hakken!! Tamagotchi: Minna de Tamagotchi World, a pre-Mario Party board game about raising Tamagotchis and playing minigames. It's slim on features, but rich in visual delights and has a soundtrack by ACE long before they did Xenoblade!

  14. 🎮 In 2026, some genius decided that making a Nintendo 64 game was a brilliant use of their time—because we all know there’s a massive market for obsolete tech. 🙄 Fast forward, and we've got a "new" Wolfenstein 3D clone on a cartridge—because who needs modern gaming advances when you can revel in 90s nostalgia? 😂

  15. New blog post time!

    This week's game is Knife Edge: Nose Gunner, an often overlooked N64 rail shooter that looks bland at first glance, but is actually very distinct within the console's library. It's atmospherically compelling, mechanically competent, and it even has 4-player co-op!

  16. Star Fox (N64) – Back in the Arwing

    Star Fox 64 remains one of Nintendo’s finest arcade shooters, combining memorable characters, branching missions, and an endlessly satisfying gameplay loop.

  17. Well, it finally happened. I bought a genuine Nintendo 64 from Japan. I have no desire to collect every console in the world, but the Nintendo 64 has always interested me, if only because of its uniqueness in this region. No one in Ukraine ever saw this console in the ’90s, because everyone played on the PlayStation and on PCs

  18. A Look Back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996)

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A.

    Welcome back science fiction enthusiasts, 20th century pop culture enthusiasts, Star Wars fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1996 to examine the 3rd chapter of a very notable Star Wars storyline that took place between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the JediShadows of the Empire!  

    With the first two issues of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire released (click here and here), the overall concept of the storyline has firmly been set and with sub-plots moving. This includes characters and developments that were not reflected nor referenced at in Return of the Jedi. At this stage, there is both excitement and suspense to look forward to.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3, published in 1996 by Dark Horse Comics with a story written by John Wagner and drawn by Kilian Plunkett. This is the 3rd chapter of the 6-issue mini-series.  

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins with the gang of Gizman – including the newcomer Jix – who visit Jabba The Hutt in his palace for an important meeting. After expressing doubt about Jix, Jabba tells the gang that he is aware of Luke Skywalker’s presence in Tatooine and he has been signed near the former dwelling of Ben Kenobi. Jabba finds Skywalker more valuable to him dead. A short time later, Jix asked why does Jabba want Skywalker dead when Darth Vader will on pay for him to be living. This causes a bit of tension within the gang.

    With R2D2 present with him at Obi-Wan’s old place, Luke Skywalker completed his brand-new lightsaber. Suddenly a laser blast almost hits them both and Luke realizes that the gang (which just met Jabba) is fast approaching them. The laser blast came from Jix who was told to hold his fire. Moments later, Luke takes down the first gang member who arrived using his new lightsaber…

    Quality

    Having the frozen Han Solo makes Boba Fett a target of those who want the prize.

    Like issue #2, the intrigue and twists kept on happening as the pay-offs to the previous issue’s build-up got executed. Indeed, the story here moved Shadows of the Empire’s concept forward gradually and what was shown is both entertaining and engaging.

    You will see here Luke Skywalker’s first-ever use of his then new green-colored lightsaber (the same one in Return of the Jedi) as he becomes a target of Jabba The Hutt who has a violent gang targeting him. Dash Rendar, arguably a creative stand-in for Han Solo in this storyline and also the playable protagonist in the Nintendo 64 video game, becomes even more important as he took the risk of involving himself with Luke as the gang attacked. The interaction between Dash and Luke here is believable to follow and makes a lot of sense within the context of this storyline.

    What I found captivating here was the scene in which Darth Vader actually (and bravely) objected to Emperor Palpatine’s plan. The scene was pretty short but it was a powerful display of tension and even division between them. Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.

    Conclusion

    Luke Skywalker, Dash Rendar and R2D2.

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.

    Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.
