What retro game would you make easier by starting the player with additional power-ups? Which power-ups?

[kube00 @kube00]

@TheRetroLeague listening to the latest episode and with the mention of High Octane and Wipeout we need more car combat games! Modern or neo-retro! #carcombat #twistedmetal Combines the love of racing and thrilling sound of explosions

[The CART Documentary @CartDocumentary]

@TheRetroLeague (Stanley) Just finished listening to the most recent episode and heard Hugues mention using laserdiscs as wall art....get out of my brain! :)

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

Very disappointing to hear this. It looks similar to the old model that had Galaga, Xevious, Mappy, and Pole Position included. Stay away from this variation.

[Jim Fullerton @yinxy]

@TheRetroLeague The Ms. Pac-Man plug and play from Dollar General is not like the old one Hugh mentioned. Now they come with only one game. Not like the 6 or so they used to have on them.

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

If you could switch the sounds & music from any two retro games which would you switch?

[The No Swear Gamer @thenosweargamer]

Time to ring the bell for a new episode!

Which LCD games are you planning to play on the long family road trip to Grandma's house today?

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

Alright, who else figured this one out in 1987?

[Nintendo of America @NintendoAmerica]

Use this handy trick to get the powerful Varia Suit upgrade early (no High Jump Boots required). Just make sure to bring at least 5 missiles to break open the item room door! Try it out for yourself with a #NintendoSwitchOnline membership. #NES

What 1990's video game developers do you miss because they're no longer around?

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

@thenosweargamer I was always a fan of the cartoon version of The Tick, but he was a great character no matter which version

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

Let's go with Ninja Gaiden II and Shadowgate.

[The No Swear Gamer @thenosweargamer]

Here are my thoughts on the Arcade1Up games displayed at my Walmart.
Good: SF2 sounded and played great
Bad: Only 2 volume settings, short cabinets, price
Ugly: Trakball not smooth enough, feel cheaply made, paint rubbing off panels and broken 2P joystick on SF2. @TheRetroLeague

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

What game/computer hardware are you keeping even though you know you should probably just through them away?

[The No Swear Gamer @thenosweargamer]

For this #FollowFriday, I'm focusing on podcasts that I appeared on in one way or another (If I missed someone, please let me know):

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

What's your favorite games that's exclusive to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive?

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

@thenosweargamer @2600GameByGame @ArcadeUSA @Brians_Man_Cave They're pretty bad in the Ninja Gaiden games. They are like a turbo speed version of the medusa heads in Castlevania.

[The Retro League @TheRetroLeague]

The ice bats in Ocarina of Time.

[The No Swear Gamer @thenosweargamer]

We all know video game bats are the worst, but in what retro game are they the worstest? @2600GameByGame @TheRetroLeague @ArcadeUSA @Brians_Man_Cave
