Aegis Reflector is the coolest super move in fighting game history that isn't a grapple of some kind.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Still genuinely in awe that it exists and that it rules. I appreciate it that much.

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
Genesis version.

Decent port all things considered, but the sound is so terrible compared to Special Championship Edition. It's astounding how badly they fucked up.
Monster Train

Did a run while listening to a Monolord album, quite a good use for this one tbh.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
Been playing this off and on the last month or so (December 2022 [Future proofing]), may as well add it here since it crossed into the new year.
Wreckfest

Sometimes you gotta drive your little polly pocket car against a mob of semi trucks once in a while.
Mario's Super Picross

Look Picross.....I'm just looking for something else to play...please! No! Put that mallet away!

AAAAAAAAH!!
Rocket Knight Adventures
Rocket Knight Adventures
I'm a zoom zoomin'
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden
NES version, ofc.

I still think it's hilarious that this game is permanently screwed up on here, thanks to them defaulting to the arcade game for the original page.
Galaxian
Galaxian
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Played with CurtainFire.

Reminded me of The Punisher in terms of combining guns with beat'em up. I gave a two-headed tyrannosaurus a vertical suplex.

Went in expecting to lose at the seventh race, ended up only losing at the seventeenth race. Maybe I'm just that damn good at the game.

Skill issue.

Helmet is in this, so a weird conundrum we got here. Hopefully I remember to keep this right above Helmet throughout the year...
The Death and Return of Superman
The Death and Return of Superman
Insanely dull, by the time I was hit by the 73rd wave of Rancids from Time Killers that were assisting Doomsday I was ready to have more fun epilating.
Super R-Type
Super R-Type
Playthrough number 7 million.

No slowdown patch, so blue laser is horrifically op.

Beautiful.

Gimme a Yakopoo plush!
All Elite Wrestling: Fight Forever
All Elite Wrestling: Fight Forever
An obvious retooling of the old Day of Reckoning engine, it's really light on content atm, but I will absolutely revisit later after more updates.
Blue Revolver
Blue Revolver
Mae is just me, ngl.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove
Woke up one morning and couldn't get back to bed, so I just played a session in this. I'm still godlike at juking ice cream trucks.
San Francisco Rush 2049
San Francisco Rush 2049
Haunted Castle
Haunted Castle
Total Annihilation
Total Annihilation
Probably one of the first 3D RTS games. Every unit feels as heavy and sluggish as a fully loaded garbage truck. (very complimentary)

There's like fifty different things for every purpose, and feels like a base turtling wet dream. I like base building, more games should have it.
Putt Party
Putt Party
This thing is a buggy pile, but the experience was pretty funny until it got frustrating at least.
Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider
Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider
Alphonse Elric gets loose from an oversized test tube and beats up the establishment.
Pokedoku
Pokedoku
Everyone's now trying to outright guess obscure pokes and it's making the game more interesting, lol.

Karnov is cool, the rest of the people here are a bunch of shmucks. Really dull fighter, could probably rate it lower.
Taz in Escape From Mars

Still the coolest tracks ever.
Barbie: Explorer
Barbie: Explorer
I went in expecting to dip out of a race of this after about an hour only to finish the entire thing before everyone else after an eternity of damnation, and taking a thousand shots to the nuts only to take those same shots to the heart when I heard the same people were involved with Spyro Enter the Dragonfly.

...and you know what? That fuckin' tracks.
Mars Matrix
Mars Matrix
Played with CurtainFire.

Will for sure revisit this by myself one day, adored the Doom Trooper-ass graphics.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged
Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention
Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention
Over in 15 minutes, but a fairly fun 15 minutes.

Also potentially the most problematic game ever made with both John K and Doug Ten Apples attached to it.
Ninja Gaiden

Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls
Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls
SNES version.

I dunno, the amateurish spritework is kinda endearing. I should get around to the Jaguar port for the lolz.
Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix

If I got a gold ring for every time a confirmed pedophile used Michael Jackson's music in their mid Sonic romhack, I'd have one gold ring.
8 Eyes
8 Eyes
Bad CV knockoff with a shitty sword attack and the most lenient stairs detection known to the human race. Bamboozling and boring switch structure stage design too. honk shoo.
Super Pitfall
Super Pitfall
No, I don't understand why I played this again this year either.
Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune
Played over Parsec, got fucked over by double inputs at least once, otherwise an incredibly barebones shovelware title.
Number Munchers

THE NUMBIES HAVE BEEN MUNCHIED!!
Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

May as well include it on here. I boot this up on Steam like every few weeks just to fart about in Freestyle, it's supremely comfy to me when I need to kill time. One day I'll do a review, maybe.....who knows.

It's one of those "charming" type games.

@DJSCheddar The sad part is that I deleted my save file for Sega Picross and restarted, switch is kinda bleak for me atm.
