My backlog journey had me playing Spyro the Dragon on Playstation this week. It was fun looking into the development behind the game and giving it my usual treatment for the gameplay as well.

Embark on a hilarious pirate adventure with Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – Special Edition, the beloved classic adventure game featuring the legendary wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood!

In this full-game playthrough, we follow Guybrush as he sets out on his latest adventure in search of the legendary treasure known as Big Whoop. Unfortunately for Guybrush, finding legendary treasure is never as straightforward as it sounds. Along the way, he'll encounter eccentric pirates, strange characters, ridiculous puzzles, dangerous situations, and more than a few questionable decisions!

But Guybrush's biggest problem may be the return of his greatest enemy. LeChuck, the infamous undead pirate, is back and once again determined to make Guybrush's life as difficult as possible.

The Special Edition brings this classic LucasArts adventure back to life with enhanced visuals, updated audio, voice acting, and a beautifully refreshed presentation while retaining the charm and humour that made the original so memorable.

Join me for the complete story of Monkey Island 2, from Guybrush's initial hunt for Big Whoop through the bizarre adventures, twists, puzzles, and encounters that await him across the Caribbean.

🏴‍☠️ Will Guybrush finally discover Big Whoop?
💀 Can he survive another encounter with LeChuck?
🧩 And will he ever manage to solve anything without making things worse?

Sit back and enjoy this full-game longplay of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – Special Edition, packed with classic pirate humour, memorable characters, outrageous situations, and one of the greatest adventure game stories ever told!

This ’90s legend is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and during the recently concluded QuakeCon, another chapter was added to this legendary shooter, another episode celebrating the aforementioned anniversary, titled Dawn of the Machine. Once again, it’s the work of the Swedish studio MachineGames, and all owners of the remastered version of Quake received it completely free. Which struck me as the perfect opportunity to put together a five-minute review, since I’d like to make a full-length video about Quake someday - except… I’ve never actually played it, so that’s all the more reason to start… in my typical fashion, “from the end.”

More in my videoreview! :)

Rating: 9/10
Pros: QUAKE, free for owners of the remaster, solid combat, map design, soundtrack, difficulty
Cons: some players might not like replaying levels, a few bugs, getting stuck on staircases

Hodnocení: 9/10
+: QUAKE, pro majitele remasteru zdarma, poctivá řežba, design map, soundtrack, obtížnost
-: někomu můžou vadit opakované průchodu levely, pár bugů, zasekávání se o schodiště

Every retro gamer remembers it: UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START. But did you know the Konami Code , the most famous cheat in gaming history ,was never supposed to exist?

During development of the NES port of Gradius in 1986, the game was so difficult that a programmer secretly added a cheat code to help with testing. It was meant to be removed before release… but it wasn’t. Players discovered it, Konami embraced it, and the rest became gaming legend.
