Retro Gaming

I know these rarely have any sway with our governments and there is more important things in the world atm, but it's getting close to the end now and it's worth a reminder.

Stumbled upon an old video clip (from 1983) showing a coin operated game called "Herpes", no joke.

Y'all know what shmups are, but just in case: a "shmup" is short for "shoot 'em up", a genre of video games where the player controls a character or vehicle, often in a two-dimensional setting, and fights a large number of enemies while dodging their attacks. The genre traces its roots back to the golden age of arcade gaming with pioneering games like "Space Invaders" and "Galaga". Shmups often demand quick reactions, precision, and strategic use of special abilities to survive against overwhelming odds. They often have various sub-genres like "bullet hell" featuring screen-filling attacks, "run 'n gun" with on-foot characters, or "cute 'em up" sporting a less serious, more whimsical aesthetic.

If you have an Anbernic or Miyoo this collection is the real deal. Any game imaginable is in there, it's perfect. I pulled it via torrent and copied it to my 128GB secondary microSD on my Anbernic RG35XX (running GarlicOS) and it works so, so well. Highly recommended.

Every week a new topic, last week was Capcom VS Marvel. The two hosts are pleasant to listen to, the podcast is usually a tight 60-90 minutes.

Got the Anbernic RG35XX? Throw that included SD card in the trash and follow this guide to get the most of it.
