Title: Holiday Marathon!!! TG16 & PCE
Post by: retro junkie on December 23, 2025, 02:35:35 PM
I did a mini gaming marathon this morning. Using the Turbo Grafx 16 mini and the Retron GX. Started with Lords of Thunder. The rule for the marathon is....don't let them see you cry...

it has been a day of humiliation. But it has been a while so I did deserve everything I got. It was still fun. I did play Victory Run in there somewhere too. But I have realized that I am going to need to get back into some of these Shmups before a marathon feels more like a victory. It is interesting that the day I was testing games on the Retron GX that I really had my game on. Everything was hitting just right and I didn't want to stop and go to the next game.
