I was playing 1981 games on Midway Arcade Origins, backwards compatible Xbox 360 game on Xbox One, when I discovered Satan's Hollow listed as '81. No matter that wikipedia says '82, I'm going with what the collection says. So I played it and thought it was good. 

After playing several other games on Atari Flashback Collection Vol. 2, I looked around for other 1981 games I might have missed and found Stellar Track for Atari 2600. I'd never played it before, so decided to give it a shot. I nearly gave up at first because it seemed too complex but I stuck with it and found a fun game. 

Konami's arcade game Strategy X is one I never saw in the arcades or even knew about until I saw it on Game Room on Xbox 360. I'm thankful for Game Room bringing a bunch of Konami games I never heard of. 

Just a short gaming session today. Got some retro action in on Activision Anthology and then played Minecraft with Mark for a while. 

I had an interest in playing multiplayer today so I jumped in Mark's Minecraft game. Then I played some retro arcade games on Midway Arcade Origins and then more beautiful button mashing in Odin's Sphere. 

As thundersnow boomed outside, Mark and I gamed it up. I did some retro '81 games and challenged Rangergirl again in Pinball FX3. Then the power went out and I switched to 3DS and ran a dozen Miis through the gauntlet of Mii Plaza games. Then, when the power came back on, I got into Odin's Sphere Leifhrasir in a big way the rest of the day. 

More than just Activision's Stampede for the Atari 2600, I watched the 1981 film Clash of the Titans and listened to the 1981 Kraftwerk album Computer World. 

Disney Infinity 3.0 was mostly about Star Wars and took from the movies and TV shows. There was an Inside Out playset, Marvel Battlegrounds playset and a Finding Dory playset. Also there were single figures to buy from franchises like Mulan, Jungle Book and Tron: Legacy, just to name a few. I started out with just the original series Star Wars figures but soon ended up getting almost all 46 of them.

I tried out Battleborn today, watched Mad Max Road Warrior (movie from '81), played Wizardry a lot and the got back to my rental, Odin Sphere Leifhrasir. 

It's a day early for me to start 1981 for March but I couldn't resist. I made a '81 music mix for my car, watched a classic '81 movie and played an '81 game, Wizardry.
