Retro SEGA Games on Steam

Monday, March 16th, 2015

Retro games from SEGA that you may have memories from in your childhood – or if you don’t, then here’s your chance to make new ones~

As usual, I recommend getting Steam games through G2A, where you can buy Steam keys for much cheaper!

Sonic Adventure DX

Sonic Adventure DX

Some of the most way-past-cool Sonic cheesiness comes from this game,
which is when Sonic at his best.  A classic.
I already have the Station Square music repeating in my head just thinking about it.

Landstalker

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole

This one, a lot of folks probably missed, but it’s one of the cool RPG memories of mine.
Nigel is cool enough that he got to be included in the cast of a later RPG of Sega’s on the Dreamcast,
called Time Stalkers, which is a terrible game, but it’s one of my most favorite terrible games.
I have a lot of favorite terrible games.

Jet Set Radio

Jet Set Radio

This is hip and funky and way too cool for me –
I’m just not cool enough to promote something this funky fresh.
It’s awesome – check it out if you like music, and graffiti, and roller skating.

Shining Force

Shining Force

Another important RPG I have strong memories of.
Shining Force is like Fire Emblem’s goofy younger brother that you were friends with at school
while his cool older brother went to a different school.
And years later, you’re like, “Dude wtf I didn’t know you had an older brother!”

I do still love the characters in this one, though.
I did lots of drawings and doodles of them in the margins of note paper
while I was a young schoolgoing lass.

NiGHTS Into Dreams

NiGHTS Into Dreams

This game is just beautiful.
It’s filled with so much imagination and wonder. :3

Cute Anime Games on Steam

Tuesday, March 10th, 2015

Hey you!  Are you friends with me on Steam? ^w^

Here is a small handful of cute anime games I like~  I will definitely be making more posts on this subject, too!

I recommend buying Steam games through G2A, where you can buy keys for MUUUCH cheaper than their listing on Steam’s store!  Much easier on the wallet and takes the stress out of building up a cute games library for yourself! n_n  (If any of the pages linked here are sold out of keys, bookmark them and check back! :O)

Nameless the one thing you must recall

Nameless ~the one thing you must recall~

Just LOOK at how beautiful this game is!!
Cheritz is also responsible for the equally beautiful game, Dandelion,
and this new story from them is even more emotional
(but with plenty of fun parts, too~).
It is fully voiced with Korean voice acting, too!

Hatoful Boyfriend

Hatoful Boyfriend

Okay, I have written about this game OVER AND OVER.
But that’s because it is seriously one of my favorite games ever,
and in the time it’s been since I last wrote about it, it got an updated HD release on Steam!
Now it’s accessible to even more players, and the pigeons are sparklier than ever.
Here’s a link to the Collector’s Edition, which includes bonus manga and yearbook extras~

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale

Okay, this is probably a game you’ve already heard of.
But it’s so cute, and I like it so much!  I especially appreciate the intro
where a small homage to Dragon Quest III (one of my favorites ever) plays out.
I love the fusion of shop simulation combined with action RPG dungeon exploring!
The NPCs you can pair up with are all so cool!

X-Note

X-Note

A game from our friend Zeiva!  Her art is always so beautiful.
This one is about the heroine Essi and her mysterious travels through time~
There are MAAAANY cute boy characters in this one. ; 3;

This is also one of the instances were you REALLY see the advantage of G2A
over buying these regularly.  As of the time of me posting this,
you can get this $20 game for 60 cents!! *O*

Forward to the Sky

Forward to the Sky

Looook at how cute and pretty this is!  I actually just discovered this game while I was compiling this list.
It looks to be a very cute little action RPG game, with this precious sword-wielding heroine~

Long Live the Queen

Long Live the Queen

This game is eeeeveryone’s favorite!  It’s similar to the old Princess Maker raising sims,
with the added twist that the humor hits hard and dark in this one –
you will die over and over!  A lot of people have fun getting through this one,
because it’s so hard to reach a successful end, but it’s so awesome
watching your fledgling queen grow and conquer her foes LOL!
