Videogame Beaches 🏳️‍⚧️

Expert Track (Jet Wave/Wave Shark, Arcade, Konami, 1996)

Resort Island (Sonic R, Saturn-PC-PS2-GC, Traveller's Tales-Sonic Team, 1997)

Lookout over the beach (Promise Mascot Agency, Kaizen Game Works, 2025)

I don't know if you've heard but Promise Mascot Agency is a pretty cool game. If you like a Yakuza-inspired narrative, collect-a-thons, and a banger soundtrack, look no further.

Tearscape (2026)

Shadows of the Afterland (Aruma Studios, 2026)

Dreamcore (Montraluz, 2025)

If it didn't happen when I uploaded the sequel, I think I'm safe. I believe.😂

I'm taking a risk with copyright 😂

Intro Screen (Yo, Bro™; PCEngine, ICOM-Camp California, 1991)

I took a look at it, and I recorded Street Fighter on the Wonderswan quite a while ago, but I could do a more thorough search.

I'm still missing a few, but I have a good number, one of my favorite systems. And some I have but haven't uploaded, like "Yo, Bro" (again with Beach Boys music).

Yeah! It has some since the first level!

Here they are!

Title screen of Noobow (1992) for GB. The titular Noobow greets you with a wide smile and raised arms, happy to see you.

Noobow stands precariously by the seashore, a hesitant expression on his face. Probably not a great idea to go any further in that direction!

Noobow rides a atop a whale, who is being pushed skyward by yet another whale. This double-whale mode of transportation is the path to the next stage. Look at how happy Noobow is to be progressing!

Noobow climbs up a ladder that leads one floating platform (with a neat-looking tree) to a yet even higher one offscreen. Blob though he may be, Noobow is quite the adventurous athlete.

It's a Noobow kind of day here at #lyre12for12

Game 4 is 1992's ぬ～ぼ～ (Noobow) from Irem, an adorable little puzzle-platformer―emphasis on puzzle―for the Game Boy!

The Morinaga candy mascot gets their own game! Quest to help friends in need, and perhaps even save Christmas(?!)

So very charming!

One thing I appreciate about old internet humor is how blunt it was. Look at this image. Adding ANYTHING ruins the joke. It's perfect. Why? Because some guy on a message board went "I really want to dunk on this game, what's the least work I can do to get my point across." Pure Distilled Comedy.

It's a wizard race! Where safety regulations are pretty lax. It has to be like the B-Series Rally of the magical world.

Oh, great, I'll take a look. I only have Dolphin recorded, but I've never uploaded it. I'm terrible at playing it and haven't been able to get a decent clip.

Oh, if I had one of these, I'd be lost. "Let's see what time it is, oooh, it's PS1 and Dreamcast time again."

A photo of a double page spread from Next Gen magazine with a photo of a Dreamcast wristwatch with the orange logo on black, and a white faced PS1 watch against a white background.

Whose time is it, asks Next Generation magazine in June 1999: PlayStation or Dreamcast?

The Dreamcast is seen as Sega's hope to reclaim their place of prominence as Sony claims that console generation's crown.

I wonder if those watches are still floating around somewhere…

Oh, not yet, but thanks for the idea. It's just that I have trouble finding useful things there (for this account I mean). I think the only Atari console I have upload something is from the Atari Lynx, and about beach volleyball too.

The truth is, I wanted to get back to posting something about the Saturn or PS1 (but I think I've almost exhausted the catalogs of these). I found a great source of beaches in arcade games, but I really enjoy posting lesser known console games.

This is a is a cool combination of a shoot 'em up and a racing game. You can select from eight characters and race while shooting enemies and rivals (they can't die but you can slow them) depending on whether you position yourself at the top or bottom of the screen, you will move faster or slower.
