With today's Dune review marks a big improvement, the ability to play games that are not available anywhere for sale but are still part of the MS-DOS era are in.

Expect a big increase in them for a bit before things go back a more varied array of platforms, i gotta catch up.

With today's review of Red Earth it begins an era of me playing catch up with Arcade games.
Don't worry there will be also other games, just more arcade for a good while.

New little series that will come with the frequency of a new pope, maybe a little bit more often.
It's for series of games that spawn different platforms in a short amount of time.

Starting with the minuscule automotives.

I have decided to start reviewing games from the Turbograpx line of consoles.
It will have lesser known titles like this one and famous entries. Plus some ports that i just think are better on it than anywhere else.

I have acquired, back in March Taito Legends 2 for the PS2 and we will start seeing more arcade games reviews every once in a while here. I'm planning to get also some stuff from Capcom and SNK but that will take still some more time.

Since youtube had decided to put back in the feature to sort the videos by oldest in a channel, i decided to use the opportunity to change the playlists of the reviews so you see the newest on top.

This should help keep you updated better on what's the latest for that particular platform.

On the VOD channel, Plays It Retro, i'll keep it in the descending order since they are playthroughs and need to be this way.

If you don't see me anymore on Twitter it's because i have abandoned the account, i've left it up since it's a good resource for people who search me up. (they're gonna delete it soon on their own anyway since it's gonna go inactive)

But yeah, social media stress got to me, i know there are competitors but i'm playing a wait and see approach.

Don't like the direction the internet is going at the moment and i need a more chill experience.

Don't worry the videos are coming weekly as always, it's just Youtube and Twitch for me at the moment, i just can't take much more than this.

The Question mark review on the previous post's list was the introduction to Arcade games entering this channel.

They're not gonna be showing up much often, but they're gonna be here from time to time.
They might even ramp up in presence in a year, depending if is manage to acquire a couple things before december.

For now, we start the Capcom double feature: Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara!

So, 100 subs is not the achievement it once was back in 2010, but i thank you all anyway for allowing me to reach this little goal. It's 3 digits after all.

I wanted to reveal to you all the next set of 10 reviews that are coming up on the channel.

Well, aside from the very next one since it's, as always, revealed at the end of the latest video and that is Mean Streets on PC DOS so i wouldn't reveal anything you couldn't already know

Remember that these release once a week so here we go:

Shadowrun on Super Nintendo
Doom II on PC DOS
??? (the first review for a new device that enters the fray, i wonder why i couldn't type and instead it came up like that, mmhm)
Sword of Mana on GBA
Beholder on PC (it's not EoB, but a more modern game with time limits and stuff, something i wanted to do out of my comfort zone)
Ultima Underworld on PC DOS
Altered Beast on Mega Drive
Knight of the Round on Super Nintendo
Brandish The Dark Revenant the PSP remake, because the original on SNES hurts my hands when turning the camera LOL
SkulJagger on Super Nintendo

So this is the plan for now.

But there is more that i have already played on Twitch on AraknieRetro that will come in the future. I stream all the games that i review and even something extra just for fun, if you want to keep in touch, that's the place to be.

Cia-Ciao!

For all the new people that have been joining recently, first of all, thank you.

You will basically see all genres here, some more than others, but i will be constantly try to get out of my comfort zone.

I also want to explain what platforms am i rotating between, in no particular order:

Super Nintendo
Super Famicom
Mega Drive
MSDOS

Also Game Boy an Game Boy Color, but much more infriquent.

After i finish up with regular Mega Drive i will do even some Sega CD and 32X games.

You might see some more recent games every once in a while, like what happened with Everspace.

Also i might take upon remakes instead of the original title, especially for RPGs, if they change and/or add enough to be really considered the definitive edition.

But i might still play the OG game in case anything extra feels useless or a detriment.

Thank you for being here, as you can see, i'm in for the long haul.
