  • Who Am I?

     

    Yo! My name is Robbie. Join me as I fumble through this blog thing and rattle on about games and stuff that I like!

    I don’t feel like there are many gamers out there with my kind of tastes – at least it feels that way most of the time – so I’m starting this page in hopes of finding others out there, who like me, have strange kinda tastes.

    This is going to be interesting.

    So, if you’ve somehow found yourself here, then I hope you manage to dig A Certain Kind of Gamer.

TUTORIAL: Make Game-Specific Executables For MAME/PCSX2 ROMS & Games In Windows 10 // Gorgeous POOTERMAN Icons

May 9, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

I’ll get to the Tutorial in a second, but I’ve really got to go into what inspired this post in the first place.

So, I finally sat down and went through DeviantArt ICON (ha!) POOTERMAN’s gallery. I’ve been meaning to download all of the icons he’s made to replace my own for a while now, and being laid up with a bad back today was the perfect excuse to get cracking and just do it.

Learning To Love: DAYTONA USA (CHAMPIONSHIP) CIRCUIT EDITION

March 1, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

vlcsnap-2018-03-01-22h27m22s884

Learning To Love is a series that I’m going to start throwing at you every now and then – a series about games that I am giving a second, third or in Daytona USA (C)CE’s case, hundredth chance. These could be games that I wanted to like, but couldn’t latch on to, or games that I hyped up to ridiculous levels as a youngster, that inevitably failed to meet expectation. It could also be games that I’ve never liked that all of a sudden, just work for me. A retro gamer’s life can be strange sometimes.

So let’s go away, shall we?

FOUR Forgotten SEGA SATURN Arcade Racers You Might Just Dig.

February 8, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

If you’re a hardcore SEGA Saturn racing fan, like me, then chances are you’ve at least heard of the games I’m about to show you. No, they’re not all gems, and some of them are legitimately terrible. But I am prone to indulging that nagging morbid curiosity from time to time, so here’s a bunch of some good, some not Saturn Racers that not a whole lot of people talk about these days. For various reasons.

I’m doing a bit of a smaller post today – I’ll be away for the weekend and I’d like to have a couple of posts ready to upload before I go!

First up, I want to say a big thank you to those over at Feedspot for placing A Certain Kind of Gamer at 61st Place in the Top 75 Retro Game Blogs!

I’ve only been doing this for about a month now, so it’s surprising that I’ve received recognition for my stuff so early in the piece. Pretty damned killer, I’ve gotta say!

SEGA RALLY 3 – A look at all incarnations of the bloody thing.

January 4, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

vlcsnap-2018-01-03-14h51m59s733

There’s no arcade racing series quite like SEGA Rally. The first game, SEGA Rally Championship 95 not only shifted the goal posts in the genre – it was among the first in the 3D space to change your traction depending on the racing surface – it’s directly credited by Codemasters themselves as the inspiration for the Colin McRae Rally games, and more besides. All the ports of the original game were sterling, and though SEGA Rally 2 was great in the arcades, on the Dreamcast, well… let’s just say that calling it a technical disaster is putting it rather mildy.

And while I’d like to take a deep-dive into the series at a later date, we’re here for SEGA Racing Studio’s SEGA Rally 3, and it’s various incarnations, so let’s get down to business.
