The third in the series of self-titled releases Gabriel put out between 1977 and 1982, Melt features lots of complex synthesizer and percussion work, with guests like Robert Fripp and Genesis bandmate Phil Collins. Kate Bush adds backing vocals on No Self Control and Games Without Frontiers.

No, he’s not singing “she’s so popular” – the line…

Been playing a lot of Toy Story for the SNES/Sega. There's a lot of differences between them and IMHO the Sega version is the best one for the extra screen space alone. I written down a lot of info for a review or guide I might want to make.

Fun fact: both versions don't have passwords in the US version and both have different layouts for the Doom-like level.

Eigentlich war "Calling all stations" ein richtig gutes #Genesis Album und es ist irgendwie schade, das man das Experiment mit Ray Willson als Sänger nach dem Album direkt wieder beendet hat.

Da wäre bestimmt noch das ein oder andere gute Album bei herausgekommen, wenn man ihn als Sänger behalten hätte ...

"Misunderstanding" is a song by the English #rock band #Genesis, released on their 1980 album #Duke. It reached No. 14 in the U.S. and No. 42 in the UK. Its highest charting was in Canada, where it reached No. 1 and is ranked as the seventh biggest Canadian hit of 1980. It was also featured on the band's 1982 double-album #ThreeSidesLive, where it led off side three.

👾​ Retro Gamers, what is your opinion on these two #SegaGenesis titles? Alien 3 seems to have a lot of great reviews online, I really enjoyed playing it as well.
3D Blast always felt very incomplete to me. I did enjoy playing it, but there was that feeling of the game being just a prototype. Although I hear the newer Directors Cut of this game makes it feel like a whole new - complete - game, so I hope to get a copy soon. 🦔​

Also #Salmacis was the name of a fountain or spring located in modern-day Bodrum, Turkey. According to some classical authors, the water had the reputation of making men effeminate and soft. This legend lies at the heart of #Ovid's tale of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus.

In Streets of Rage, there's a entire level where you fight bad guys on an elevator. In TASes of the game, the fastest way to beat this level is to simply toss everyone off the side of the elevator, which leads to some unintentional comedy

Ever wonder what happened to #Sega after the #megadrive / #genesis ? As it happens, they were so addicted to their success launching modified arcade machines as home consoles that they tried again - with the Sega #Saturn. This product was a strange mishmash of ideas that had been developed from hundreds of arcade hardware developers and custom chips used in various machines. Let's explore why the Saturn was so weird - https://tedspence.com/the-enduring-weirdness-of-the-sega-saturn-edf19f9dbfa9

It’s a game where you’re a poltergeist called Polterguy and you’ve got to jump in and out of different home objects in order to scare the occupants and get them to move out. Quite a fun little game.

#NowPlaying: #Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three...
1978 Dutch pressing.

I listened extensively to this album a couple of years ago and I don't think I fully understood Genesis back then, but it did something with me that made me come back. The album has a vast sound that I can't properly describe, it makes me nostalgic. This album has its highs and its lows, but it certainly ended at its highest with Follow You Follow Me, which is a beautiful song.

I got a letter!

#Sefaria, a digital library of Jewish literature, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary by letting folks claim a Hebrew letter from the Torah. I know very little about #Hebrew so why not learn about what the letter means, as well as what the word in the verse means. (1/5)

#abjad #languagelearning #etymology #Judaism #tanakh #genesis

Faux papyrus showing the Hebrew letter “Resh” prominently displayed in green above a copy of Genesis 1:20 printed in Hebrew. The text on the image is as follows: “The Global Community Torah – Powered by Sefaria. ר. My unique letter. ויאמר אלהים ישרצו המים שרץ נפש חיה ועוף יעופף על־הארץ על־פני רקיע השמים. Genesis 1:20. Claim your letter. Make your mark. torah(.)sefaria(.)com”. Genesis 1:20, which is printed in Hebrew, translates as the following: “God said, ‘Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.’”

An animated gif featuring gameplay from the Sega Mega Drive game “Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine” The gameplay takes place is a “Tetris-like” perspective (i.e., it’s a puzzle game with drop-down elements). The player tries to align (what look like) colored stones with eyes; combining a few together causes them to disappear. The player is facing off against “Scratch” a robotic rooster, whose headshot appears in the playfield, and reacts to the player’s actions.

#DailyRetroGame 120: Flicky (1984)

One of those arcade games that was easy to miss, Flicky was nonetheless a joyous platformer where your cute little chick attempted to rescue other cute little chicks, and lead a string of them to safety, while avoiding cats. Which you could bean with hammers.

OK, that bit was less cute, but this was a fab game. The 1990s port to Sega’s 16-bit console was fab too.

Probably the first example of a non-discoverable UI we all ran into at the time.

A screenshot from Sonic 3 on the Sega Genesis, Carnival Zone, Act 2, standing in front of the infamous rotating platform that uses a unique input that nothing else in the game has, that you aren't taught about very well before that point and ultimately impedes your progress until you blunder into it, or someone tells you just hold up and down on the controller.

I'm mentioning NES games, but some cartridges from the 4th gen. (16-bits - #SNES & #Genesis) followed the same idea.

Yesterday I remembered #EccoTheDolphin #games from #Genesis and I can't stop listening it's OST.
My mom gave me this game when I was a kid, thinking that it is a cute game about a sweet dolphin. And while Ecco is sweet, the game is far from being cute. Creepy #HRGiger alien creatures harvesting sea life to prevent their own extinction, giant biomachines, an alien Queen looks like a giant mass of flesh... I love it so much.

Listen to those kicks, oooh. And melodies.

After rediscovering #Genesis, and #SNES games I just realized that all the best #retroGames got sequels and remakes on the #GBA!

It's hard to decide whether to play the old version or the much prettier remakes; #Metroid, or Zero Mission?

Even #Sega games like #sonic and #gunstarHeros wound up there.

Hopefully I understand the purpose of this thread, and if so, a few things for those looking to get into #Genesis / #MegaDrive.

Original Hardware
Over time, Sega both added additional security to the Genesis/MD, as well as reduced its sound output quality. If you want an OG console, for a NA Genesis, find one that has the “High Definition Graphics” text above the cart slot, and the “EXT” port on the back.
