I told myself that I absolutely would not buy any more games at least five times this week, and yet here we are. What's dangerous about this batch is that games you already love suddenly seem like smart purchases. I've played most of them, I can vouch for them, and yes, my background is a crime scene.

This day in games 🎂
In retro news, it's time to hold on to our butts and celebrate the 32nd birthday of (arguably) the best Jurassic Park 90's game. My “SNES-owning friend” who lived across the street from me had one. We spent hours admiring the film's title, which was far better than it had any right to be ( Wolfenstein 3D Sections were particularly ambitious with regard to hardware).
Australian birthdays of outstanding games.
