I'm a nutty poet from the mobile game A3. Aside from writing odd poetry, Homare likes to act, stroke his ego, and look for inspiration for his next work.
He's dumb but I love him.
P.S. This is Kat. I even changed my rank for this woo

I have to save Hyrule from the Calamity...but first, off to ride horses and climb mountains while cooking food!
(This game kept me sane during spring lockdown and quickly became my favourite game of all time, so this was a no-brainer.)

Hello, I am every time you felt like procrastinating but had nothing better to do.
((This may not be my main one, I just haven't figured another one out yet, so!))

Hi! I'm going exploring underwater. Want to join me? Move the mouse so the pointer's on me, and we can get started.
Okay. Here we go!
((I thought about doing something more current like Pokemon Masters, but then I decided to go for ULTRA NOSTALGIA instead. \ o /))

I, too, am going for nostalgia!
I have memories of, as kiddins when our mother allowed us 30 minutes of video gaming each a day, my brother and I using that to play Nightcaster: Defeat the Darkness, which we were Very Bad at. Essentially a game of paper scissors rock with monsters, you control a young (at first) mage named Arran as he runs around finding the correct spell schools to defeat a variety of evildoers. Pretty standard stuff, we were just...not very good at it. xD
The fantasy environments were gorgeous, and when I revisited the game recently I was surprised as I didn't recall the original xbox being capable of such prettiness. But for its time, they're amazing! I loved the dragons, of course, and this game was also my first introduction to gorgons- I was like "yay we get to meet pretty winged people!!!!" when we found the in-game texts talking about them, only to find out they had been cursed and turned into...snake people...who it took us FOREVER TO DEFEAT, MANY CHILD GAMERAGE.
Oh and the game also inspired a short story I wrote last year, which is basically 'Nightcaster, but gay', and I should...probably tidy that up and at least publish it on my writing tumblr, or something. It was cute.

Oh, I was going to go classic, but now you're making me go nostalgic also. *edited to add* And... your username is the answer. *smacks self in forehead* YES! I remember this game now. Wow. To think there was a time when computer mice were new. lol! And there were once literal floppy discs, and... and... Please pardon me, as I return to my childhood. |

Okay. I totally went old school. One of my favorite from elementary school, Number Munchers! But... I played on an old Apple II computer with an all green screen, which I'm sure most of you don't even remember. Ha!
Also, I found an emulator, and tired the 8th grade and above challenge. I died. Quickly. lol

I used a picture from a video game I used to think was the height of technology when I saw it as a kid in arcades. I think I played it a few times but I never got very far. Dragon's Lair looked awesome next to all other sprite games in the 80s. And I most likely first saw it in 85 or 86, when I was a little 5 or 6 year old sprite myself. I remember watching so many people trying to play and always dying or turning to skeletons.

A young June didn't play much in the way of video games or computers. But at a public library, I play this game called Spy Fox. Lots of humor, gadgets, and adventure. It was fun, even though I got stuck at a certain part.
Years later, I found that game, plus the two others of the series, at a rummage sale, and bought them. I got past the part I was stuck on, and competed the game, plus the other two games. Lots of fun!
