After finishing Mystic Quest on the Game Boy, I started Secret of Mana on the SNES this weekend. So far, I have earned 10% of its Retro Achievements.
It has been way too long since I’ve recorded a podcast episode. So here’s an episode of The Private Citizen explaining why this has happened. Here’s to hoping I can get back to regular releases!
It has taken me 23 hours and 50 minutes, but I have just beaten Mystic Quest for the Game Boy. This was my second playthrough. I first finished it 32 years ago when the game came out (that playthrough probably took me a lot longer). I did not simply finish the story, though, I also got all 50 achievements for it that are listed on RetroAchievements.org.

My little shmup is coming along! I did a lot of improvements to it over the last few days: Dynamic enemy waves, enemy attack patterns, several quality-of-life tweaks. It’s almost a game now. My next task is to implement enemy shooting…
I’m continuing to make my way through Mystic Quest on the Game Boy. I’ve moved past level 50 and I’m now approaching the end game.
Picotron Released
Picotron is out and while it is pretty buggy right now, it also excites me very much!
