Breakdancing Penguin is my current favorite Solstice season cup!

Hot take on a 30-year old game: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is a really great game that is rendered almost unplayable by a modern audience due to the adventure mechanics of the time. I would've dropped it a long time ago if I wasn't going to do a video on it.

One of the BIG real time strategy city builder series that come from that period of gaming history, is Settlers. And despite city building games being one of my favorite genres, as well as a focus for my channel, I never got around to playing any of the titles till relatively recently and the title that was suggested to start with was Settlers 2. I did not have the OG version on hand though, so I played the 3D engine remake of the 10th Anniversary Edition.

Not simply one of the best adventure games ever but a really one of the best video games EVER. The Longest Journey is rarely brought up in conversations about the best games of the genre, at least at first. I was super happy to find it in physical form this past year :)

It has been quite the trip, going through every major Impressions city builder which started quite unexpectedly back in 2017 when I simply wanted to replay Caesar 3 because I had just gotten back into city builders thanks to Banished. It took 5 years but here we are, having reviewed Caesar 3, Pharaoh, Children of The Nile, Zeus and now, here’s my video about Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.

Can I make it to 3500 by the end of the year?

Probably not, but maybe.

It’s impossible to estimate the sheer weight of the hours upon hours of time I spent with this game. Civilization 2 is one of the BIG video games in my gaming history. It was the first ever video game I got that occupied AN ENTIRE CD - pirated, of course 😉 I dream of finding a proper big box version of it eventually - that I can afford - but I am more than satisfied with getting as many newer versions of it as I can till that point in time.

Here's a sneak peek at my new haircut, as well as the next video😄 (as well as an even sneakier Retro Gamer in the lower left)

I'm glad to see the new rounded YT visuals look pretty well with my thumbnail template :D

What do you do when you have less than 2 days to prep a tabletop RPG sesh for a party of complete newbies with your own incomplete narrative-focused system? Steal, you steal quest ideas from cRPGs :))
