Finally finished God of War (2018)!

Yes, I know… where have I been?! 😅

What a fantastic game. Really enjoyed it, and those revelations at the end… 🤯

Celebrating 20 years of God of War 🎉

Recently started #GodOfWar (2018) after sitting in my backlog forever and absolutely love it! Hoping to complete this weekend 🙌

I also recently picked up God of War Collection Volume II which is now the rarest #PS3 game in my collection!

🔵 Childhood Unlocked 🔵

Recently picked up the first 3 issues of #Sonic the Comic - something I remember collecting as a kid!

Launched in 1993, it ran until 2002 with over 200 issues.

Thanks to @ExtraLifeGaming for the gift voucher to be able to add these to my collection 🫶

Welcoming the newest edition to the Two Point family: #TwoPointMusem

I've been a huge fan of @TwoPointStudios for years, all the way back to their Bullfrog days.

Can’t wait to get cracking with this one. Here's to many hours of quirky, fun and creative gameplay!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is very, very good 👌

Of course it helps when you finish 1st online 😏🏆

I hit the landmark of 50 platinum trophies thanks to the excellent Astro Bot.

With near flawless level design & a captivating world full of colourful puzzles and enchanting bots - Astro Bot is an endearing love letter to those who grew up with #PlayStation & platformers

Happy 30th Anniversary #PlayStation 🎉⁠
⁠
Released on the 3rd Dec ‘94 in Japan, it quickly stormed to popularity due to its extensive game library, low retail price and popular franchises.

Here is a selection of some of my favourite titles 😁

What’s your fave #PS1 memories?

And while I don’t usually pick up Pokémon cards on my trip to Doncaster, I couldn’t resist the (no longer in stock anywhere) Alakazam Ex collection to add to my 151 set.

Pulled Mew Ex from one of the boosters too!

A great day out at today’s Doncaster Gaming Market.

I picked up We Love Katamari but it was actually Final Fight: Streetwise that initially caught my eye.

Released in 2006, it’s the only game in the series not to have been released in Japan (it was also critically panned!)

[8-Bit of Retro @8BitofRetro1]

@Doctor__Virtual Crazy how it’s shot up in price recently! £80 is slightly more reasonable than recent eBay prices

[8-Bit of Retro @8BitofRetro1]

Just been having a look through my #Dreamcast collection and checking the value of some games…

…since when did Sonic Adventure 2 start selling for over £100?!

🤯🤯🤯

[8-Bit of Retro @8BitofRetro1]

So I succumbed to FC25. A staunch FIFA player since the mid 2000’s, I’ve got to the point now that I say every year I won’t buy the next one…

…yet every year I do 😅

Bonus point if anyone can guess the team’s shirt in the background 🔴⚪️

@Adamtheblade88 More than doubled its value

[8-Bit of Retro @8BitofRetro1]

@Adamtheblade88 Must be the recent release of Sonic X Shadow Generations and upcoming Sonic 3 movie that’s bumped up demand for it

[8-Bit of Retro @8BitofRetro1]

Very excited to play #SonicXShadowGenerations 🙌

The original was up there as one of the best 3D/modern era #Sonic games and one I thoroughly enjoyed playing.

Looking forward to Shadow’s campaign too - I’m probably one of the few who actually liked his 2005 solo game 😅

This is so incredibly sad, her voice was a staple of so many characters from my childhood.

46 is too young.

Blast off at the speed of light one last time Rachel and rest in peace.

Rachel Lillis, the voice actress for Pokémon's Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff has sadly passed away at the age of 46 following battle with cancer.

Plus there’s Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding for the #Dreamcast (no case unfortunately)

An all time great 🛹

Just popped a couple of things up for sale on #ebay including Hogs Of War for the #PlayStation.

A true #Sheffield classic!
