Grandstand Munchman, Gakken Frogger, and Tomy Caveman. Pictures from Handheld Empire.
Oh man that brings back from old memories.......

First image of the case and the first gameplay image both have Bomberman in them...... I think im going to need to start a Bomberman counter for you.......

A Steam Deck with a Nintendo Switch loaned by a relative for this photo.
Not sure why..... But it looks like the Steam Deck has just given birth to the Switch.......

Dinky dock.
How are you finding the xbox controller???...... You have had that awhile now..... Holding up well???.....

Steam Deck as a laptop-replacement.
I really like how you edited that picture to shrink yourself down into the image to make the Steam Deck look much bigger than yourself.....

OK..... All stupid jokes aside..... Thats a really nice and well thought out review......

Mentions of Bomberman - 5
Images with Bomberman - 8 (Yes I included your Steam avatar...... Its a image of Bomberman......)

Also apparently I was wrong about what I said on the Steam chat....... Nuns do indeed work Sundays......... [External Link]

Quoting: PenglingI've got a few recommendations to share, too, if I may! :grin:

Ape Out [External Link] (Deck Verified, ProtonDB Platinum) £2.74 (75% off) - A rare modern maze-chase game where a gorilla violently escapes from various tough procedurally-generated scenarios, all set to a jazz soundtrack that responds to your actions!

Mega Man 11 [External Link] (Deck Verified, ProtonDB Gold) £8.24 (67% off) - The best-selling [External Link] game in Capcom's classic platform-shooter series, and a good jumping-on point for newcomers, with a charming, uncomplicated story and a raft of difficulty-settings and dub/sub options.

Mutant Mudds Deluxe [External Link] (Deck Playable, ProtonDB Platinum) £0.69 (90% off) - An HD version of an alien-busting 8/16-bit-style indie platformer originally released as an early downloadable title for the Nintendo 3DS, tweaked so that it's even better now than it was then. An absolute must for platformer fans.

Nippon Marathon [External Link] (Deck Playable, ProtonDB Mixed due to problems in older reports) £2.99 (75% off) - An utterly insane multiplayer on-foot racing game, inspired by the comedic Japanese game-show classic, Takeshi's Castle [External Link], where you must choose one of four incredibly weird characters and try to win the famous Nippon Marathon - whilst taking on the machinations of its shady champion!

The Disney Afternoon Collection [External Link] (Deck Verified, ProtonDB Gold) £3.99 (75% off) - A set of six Capcom-made Disney games from the heyday of the Nintendo Entertainment System - Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers 2, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, DuckTales 2, and TaleSpin (some of them rare and expensive on the secondary market, making this a welcome official re-release) - all perfectly suited to handheld play, plus new Boss Rush and Time Attack modes.

There's a lot of good stuff in this sale! :grin:

As an aside, Fanatical is running a Birthday Mystery Bundle, but since they don't provide lists of what you might get, there's not enough I can write about to submit an article, so I'll just leave the link here [External Link]. :wink:
A whole long post without mentioning Bomberman???......

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL PENGLING?!?!?!?!..........
