Another #OffTheBacklog #TheLegendOfZeldaLinkToThePast completed on the #SNESClassic - You may have noticed I'm working my way through the Zelda games and this is the one often described as the peak 2D Zelda game. I can sure see why, it's beautiful, controls wonderfully and has a soundtrack I'd say is exactly what people are thinking of when they say the SNES soundtracks stick in their mind even decades after last picking up an SNES gamepad. Is it my peak?

Another #OffTheBacklog #SuperMarioRPG #Switch I never played jRPGs as a child. Even without nostalgia I enjoyed the refreshingly short 20 hrs to max level my entire party & get to credits. This's a great introductory jRPG & deserving of its beloved status. There's a TON to do after the credits but I'll be moving on. You can toggle retro/updated soundtrack but don't expect anything like the orchestral #LinksAwakening remake I'm so bad at isometric platforming #gamer #gaymer #jrpg #rpg #backlog

It took a few decades but I finally beat the original #LegendOfZelda ! I used a guide & the save state feature of the #NESClassic which I don't regret at all. Every failed attempt in the past has been the same, I'd get to a point where I can't find anything to do next. Having beat it with a guide I can say I would have NEVER been able to beat it blind & honestly don't know how anyone does. #OffTheBacklog #retrogaming #gaymer #gamer #nintendo #NES

Dragon Quest aka Dragon Warrior. Played the iOS version on my iPad. #dragonquest #dragonwarrior #OffTheBacklog #Gaymer

A short and strangely satisfying game where you move a hole around in the ground to swallow things up. The more things that fall in the bigger the hole gets. Puzzle aspects are slowly added but never get all that hard. If you need something simple to 'wind down' with when you aren't feeling up to a game that requires more mental energy then this is great to have in your back pocket. #donutcounty #OffTheBacklog #Gaymer

Beat Halo Combat Evolved (campaign) as
part of the Master Chief Collection with my partner . I might have had my expectations too high. I’ve never played before so I didn’t have nostalgia and possibly the pvp local multiplayer was part of its success? #HaloCombatEvolved #OffTheBacklog #Gaymer
