Monster Hunter fans would love this. It's a dark take on the genre, and one of the deepest, most creative games on the Vita. Glad to have it physically in my collection!28 Aug 2026 00:18 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu43lkhwi223https://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mtthjknqck2wNew podcast episode is live!

Battle Axe is beautiful, and brutally old-school. With gorgeous pixel art, an incredible soundtrack and fast-paced arcade action, this one hooked me with that classic “just one more run” feeling. https://theretrowildlands.com/blog/battle-axe15 Aug 2026 01:31 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt3jn3pc7c2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mt3h6nhprs2bMe: "Hey, boy.

I played Chasm, an indie metroidvania inspired by classics like Symphony of the Night. Beautiful pixel art, rewarding exploration, and a few interesting twists. Check out my thoughts!

I tried to take this cool photo of Link's Awakening on my Switch while standing by the water, which I thought would be neat given the game's opening, but lighting wasn't on my side. Anyway, awesome game so far!25 Jul 2026 01:34 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrgpzpbve22shttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mrfh4wog6s2iIt's hard to imagine a game like this getting made today. #retrogames #retrogaming #NARC #NES #Nintendo24 Jul 2026 13:23 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrfh4wog6s2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mrbkibhejc2hVacation: Day 4 - Weather continues to be meh here in Corolla, NC. But that's alright. I'm with family, and we're having a hell of a time. I'll post more "vacation-y" photos later (my wife is so much better at taking pictures). For now, it's more gamin' and bourbon for me.

If you're a fan of pixel art, or old-school hack-and-slash, this one might be worth adding to your backlog. theretrowildlands.com/blog/thy-sword https://theretrowildlands.com/blog/thy-sword22 Jul 2026 17:14 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrat56ipvs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mr6gkygfkc24Every gamer knew someone who had it memorized.

I usually do this once a year on vacation to clean up space, but it's fun to look back. I found this photo from when I was setting up my office into what it is now so it could accommodate my growing game collection. Sic Parvis Magna and all that. 😁20 Jul 2026 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr3rfxovs22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mqzw6oceas27Vacation: Day 1 - I've been playing Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure recently on my DS. Very fun game so far, and being on the roof of the house I'm renting with an ocean view and a beer off screen just makes this game that much more fun.19 Jul 2026 23:20 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqzw6oceas27https://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mqzeovkvlc2rDecided to snag The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales before leaving for vacation. I knew about this 2.5D adventure, but once someone compared it to A Link to the Past, that was it, had to have it. Anyone aware of, or playing this one?19 Jul 2026 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqzeovkvlc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mqnkmdhkts2dA huge thanks to everyone that voted! Across all of our socials, the majority of you said I need to play Link's Awakening on my upcoming family vacation! Paper Mario was only 5 votes behind. Looking forward to dive in between trips to the beach and impromptu naps. 😎15 Jul 2026 01:21 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqnkmdhkts2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mqkw2ypeqk2hNew podcast episode is live! This time in our Expedition Log, I chronicle my thoughts on Syphon Filter for the PS1. Was Syphon Filter really a PS1 classic? Or is nostalgia doing the heavy lifting? I replayed Gabe Logan's adventure to find out. https://theretrowildlands.com/episode/expedition-log-9-syphon-filter14 Jul 2026 00:08 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqkw2ypeqk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/retrowildlands.bsky.social/post/3mqhugdf4c22dTomorrow, I'm heading back to 1999 to find out if Syphon Filter still holds up.

It's spurred some interesting discussion as The Short Message is a free digital only download on the Playstation store. I liked the game for what it was, and wrote a review on it last year! https://theretrowildlands.com/blog/silent-hill-the-short-message10 Jul 2026 16:04 +0000at://did:plc:2v5jtocq6cfokcqb4ayfs26c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqcjlswvq22p
