Took Junior on a retro adventure, right into the 16-bit world of Dyna Blaster!
He loved the power-ups, the boss fights, the chaos… and he couldn’t believe I used to save progress using handwritten passwords in a notebook.  

If you’re into old-school charm or father–child gaming moments, I just posted a full review on my Substack.

Would love to hear your own favorite retro memories!

As for typing in passwords to "save" progress by skipping to a certain level, Lemmings was one I remember that for.
Played the MS-DOS version at school.
Were a few games I played a lot around that time on a Windows 95 laptop.
Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker being another I remember well, alongside ofc the default installed Solitaire, Minesweeper, Hearts and Freecell.

In the latest Elite: Dangerous Music Video, I explored Traikoa FL-P e5-4 system.
They call it The Black Treasure — a black hole resting inside a deep blue nebula, 5,000 light years from Sol — the most beautiful one yet!

Offering a Trippy Dance of Optical Distortions and Cosmic Beauty, and paired with an Epic and Dreamy song... this one gave me shivers!... so, maybe you'll enjoy it too.

My latest Substack post is a reflection on my love for nature and the moments in games that bring it back to me — Skyrim, The Long Dark, Brothers, ETS2, and more.
It’s cozy, a bit nostalgic, and yes… I added my signature audio narration filled with music and ambiance  

🏔️ Take a break, enjoy a story:

Rarely played horror games, and never played anything explicitly because of it being appropriate for a season or holiday.
Sometimes I would play content that appears for a season or holiday, but not a game explicitly for that.

My latest Dad’s Solo Review is one of my most personal yet.

A story inspired by life under communism, from Romania's 1980s, it brought memories back in a way no history book ever could.

Games like this prove that interactive media can preserve culture, history, and enable you to experience it better than most textbooks.
