The holiday season is rerun season. Mostly because productions go into hiatus, but there's certainly a warm familiar feeling in rewatching the likes of Die Hard, or Home Alone, isn't there?
Also, as the new year approaches, #yearinreview posts abound. Many of which are likely more about invoking warm familiar feelings in their authors than anything else.
So, over the next few days, I'll be boosting a number of my own #retrogaming posts from 2025. 😅 🔁

💾 NEW PODCAST💾 DOS Game Club co-host @rnlf has been trying to get us to play Sam & Max Hit the Road (LucasArts, 1993) for years, so we finally caved and put it on the roster.
Not that we were reluctant, because this comedy point & click adventure game has a great reputation as a funny game that holds up well today.
So let's check it out and see if that's warranted!

1992's Super Mario Kart for the SNES is the first game in the Mario Kart series. Selling 8.76 million copies worldwide, the game went on to become the fourth best-selling SNES game of all time. 📈
The game was praised for its innovation and use of Mode 7 graphics. It is seen as having been key to expanding the Mario series into non-platforming games. 🏁
Super Mario Kart began as a multiplayer prototype of the 1990 SNES game F-Zero...

💾 NEW PODCAST 💾 In November we looked at Toonstruck, the FMV point & click adventure game from 1996 featuring none other than Christopher Lloyd (that's "Doc Brown" from Back to the Future!)
This was a huge production at the time, with apparently a budget of around 8 million dollar!
Sadly the game seems a bit forgotten now, but that's all the more reason for us to take a look at it.
A(nimal Cros)SCII: mapping the character encoding for Animal Crossing GC town, player, and passwords to Unicode characters.
How is the DOS PC game 'Discworld' 30 years old! 🤯
I wrote about this fantastic, yet very difficult point and click adventure in 2010 and also enhanced the original MIDI music for use within @scummvm
