Love old games? Me too!
As many of you might know, I put my heart and soul into indie games for multiple years here and on YouTube. They are my foundation as a content creator and serious gamer. They are why I started this blog,…
Back for another convention, yes I have returned to the Midwest Gaming Classic for 2025 and have wonderful things to say. This post is a bit late, since the convention was, and typically is, in April, but it's been a…

This April, I grabbed an Amtrak train from a small Illinois town and headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The reason? To visit the 2024 Midwest Gaming Classic at the Baird Center in Downtown Milwaukee. It's an annual trade show that celebrates…
Today, I'm taking a look at the soon-to-be-released, arcade-style title Galacticon from developer Radin Games. It's similar in style to 1980s arcade games like Defender, Joust, and Jetpac. You might be familiar with some of these from the book Ready Player One; and maybe the film, but I can't remember, although I know Joust featured prominently in the book. I sat down with the space-themed preview they provided and honestly got really into it. Initially, I wondered how much there'd be to say, but the game has many objectives. There's also an online leaderboard to compete with, so it is full of incentives to play. I'll give you a rundown of some features as well. And as usual, I've included my gameplay, as usual, with the YouTube video at the top. Let's get started.
I wanted to call this "NES Games That Influenced Me" or something like that. Honestly though, I can't totally remember WHY I remember these games, only that they evoke some mood or emotion when I play them. I guess you could call it nostalgia. Yeah, that's probably it. The main reason for this is I wanted to try writing about something I haven't tried.
