Since you have Apple Arcade I thought I'd tell you about a really fun game you can try.  Recently a game released on the Switch called Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On!  It's an enhanced port of the same game that was on the 3DS.  Turns out that enhanced port is also on Apple Arcade!  It's a game that combines solitaire with...horse racing?  Yeah, really, but it's VERY GOOD!  It was made by a company called Game Freak.  You might've heard of another game series they made, a little franchise you might know called Pokemon. :)  Anyway, you should try Pocket Card Jockey out if you get a chance.  It's fun!

When I was a kid, one of the very first anime cartoons I watched was Star Blazers.

I remember The Great Space Coaster!  It had a robot elephant that looked like Flame Mammoth from Mega Man X!

I tried to get all the weapons and upgrades in Pac-Man 256 but it took too darn long.  Still a good game though.  It was made by the same folks who did Crossy Road, you know.

I love mini consoles, but I never got the Commodore 64 mini.  I've played the C64 a few times at friends' houses as a kid, and I think my middle school computer lab had C64s, but I don't really have any special memories with games from that.

Now go play the Bluey game on Game Pass!

I read that Bluey: The Video Game is going to be on Game Pass.  You gotta play it!  :)

The DX version of Pac-Man CE changes up the gameplay a bit.  In the original game, it plays most like Pac-Man.  In DX, you have to pass sleeping ghosts to make them wake up, and then they follow you.  You can get a huge chain of ghosts following you around, and when you get a power pellet, you can gobble up the chain for mondo points.  It's fun, but I like the original better.

If you ever find the cartridge, you should get it and play it!  It's so good!

Pac-Man CE is one of the main reasons why I initially bought an Xbox 360.  It was only on there for the longest time.  It's still one of my favorite Pac games.

As a kid, my local Pizza Inn had a Gaplus machine, except the cabinet called it Galaga 3, which is essentially what it is, a sequel to Galaga and Galaxian.  I don't like it better than Galaga, though, because it's too darn hard!

I find it interesting that other people besides me like the original GB Donkey Kong more than GBA Mario vs. Donkey Kong.  I wonder why that is?  I can't really put my finger on it.

My personal favorite 2600 game is Pressure Cooker.  You can play it on Activision Anthology.  Only probably with the game is you really NEED to read the instructions before playing to really understand how to play it right.  But once you get it, it's a surprisingly complicated game for the 2600.
