Game Hunting 1/31/25

I never know what I’m going to find when I go to a retro game store. There’s definitely games that I keep an eye out for, but usually I’m just popping in and seeing what I find. I actually found one I was looking for a few weeks ago, Godzilla for the PS4, but I didn’t write one of these about it. Maybe I’ll do something bigger with that later. But for now, let’s talk about my most recent haul, which is three games. I got two for the Atari 2600 and one for the Sega Dreamcast.

Games That Only I Like

It’s kind of weird that I own a copy of Sword of the Berserk: Guts’ Rage. It’s a Dreamcast game based on the manga and anime “Berserk”, which I’ve never read or seen. If I remember right, most of the coverage for the game before it was released focused on just how over the top the violence was. That’s probably why I ended up getting it. It’s actually kind of funny, because other than some blood splatter when you hit enemies, the level of violence on display doesn’t seem to be anything too spectacular.  Continue reading →
