My final Master System game: Deep Duck Trouble Starring Donald Duck (Aspect, January 1994)

It’s been one heck of a journey. I think I’m done. I’m moving on to 16-bit now. At 25 games my personal Master System set is finished.

That’s the last game of the official library I wanted.

- I don’t like Shinobi, shmups, beat em ups or sports games. These four get brought up the most.
- I’m not retiring from 8-bit home console gaming as there’s still GG2SMS conversions & of course the land of ROMHacking to look forward to!
- I’ve beaten every game you see here (yes, even Ghost House & Penguin Land as insane as both those games are!)

I picked up a sealed copy of Puggsy and I’m gonna unseal it this week. But before I do I guess I wanted to share it with everyone.

This isn’t the first time this has happened to me (I unsealed a copy of Adventures of Lolo GB a couple of years back) but I managed to yet again get a sealed game for cheaper than regular CiB (and am gonna have to free it to play it)

A game somehow sat unopened for 33 years before my dirty mitts get to open it. Sometimes I wonder how this stuff even happens.

Yes I’m gonna stream it. Yes I’ll probably post the clip here when I do unless that’s not allowed.

And no, I do not care about the value dropping. It cost me less than a CiB copy normally does anyway, nor do I ever plan on selling my games anyway.

My 23rd Master System game: Sonic Chaos (Aspect, 23/11/1993)

It’s been a little while since I get a new SMS game, I’m running out of titles I want to get for it.

Feeding time! 4 week old babies!

MEEEEEEP! We haven’t been fed in MINUTES!

- I know my window’s dirty, I’ve been lazy.

Pssst maybe if we stay completely motionless we’ll become invisible!

4 week old balcony babies!

I’m now up to 35 games on the ol’ Sega!

With Asterix & The Great Rescue being my latest addition I have also been busy finding some Rare games. Can you spot them?

Pib staring at me mournfully as though his cage hasn’t been open all morning

Melly dropping by to see what I’m up to.

Taking a break from egg duty she’s come to say hello. I’m glad she feels comfortable to be around me, even if she’s very skittish and will flee if you make even the smallest movement.

I don’t get to take close up videos of her outside her cube too often. Once I receive an email she’s all AH! ESCAPE! SCARY SOUND!

Blue would also like you to know that he is King of this Castle; Protector of his darling Melly.

Pibbin would like to come out as well but he’ll have to wait his turn has he & Blue like to fight.

u/MarioPfhorG — 2 months ago

Blue would like you to know that he is very mighty, fearsome and definitely scaring off his own dad in this argument.

At least, he thinks he’s winning an argument over Snowy & ‘Papa Boxgeon’ (Blue’s dad). I don’t think they’re even aware he exists but don’t tell him that.

Who needs air conditioning when you have a pigeon?

New babies! Wanna see balcony babies?

For anyone who’s familiar with my pigeon family these are Blue’s new siblings. Hello babies!

u/MarioPfhorG — 2 months ago

After having full access to a proper bowl all day, Melly & Blue decided that their water bowl was the perfect place to take a bath during dinner. They’re so cute together.

I also forgot to post it before but it was Blue’s first birthday on 2nd August. Happy birthday my little tough turnip!
Look at these little darlings!

They were out of their cage for hours but decided this tiny bowl was the ideal place to bathe.

u/MarioPfhorG — 2 months ago

I interrupt your doomscrolling to show you Melly (“the world is scary”) and Pibbin (“???”)

Sometimes I just like to watch them. So peaceful.

I regret to inform everyone that Pepper the balcony baby pigeon has passed away. She didn’t make it… I am so sorry everyone

Last night she was well fed and was walking better but we woke up to seeing her droopy and both legs were numb. It was already too late. She was rushed immediately to the emergency vet but they suspect critical organ failure.

She was an incest baby (parents are brother & sister). Pepper was never going to make it. We tried our best.

I am so sorry everyone. I was hoping to give much better news today.

She’s gone…

u/MarioPfhorG — 3 months ago

UPDATE: We’ve named the lil baby Pepper. Unfortunately there’s something wrong with Pepper’s right foot & is off to the vet soon. Will keep you updated.

We noticed Pepper has a limp and isn’t walking properly. The right foot appears to be partially paralysed.

We’ve taken Peps to the vet and there is no feeling in the right foot whatsoever. So this poor little darling may have to become our fourth rescue pidge. He’ll never be able to walk :(
