What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Tiger Heli (Atari 7800+)

August 18th, 2025

I'm stuck in shmup mode right now, which is ok with me. Yesterday, the most interesting thing I played was probably Tiger Heli for the Atari 7800+. It's so cool that there's new ports of old games for an old machine available, even though I did brutally suck at this. This game has no continues or difficulty settings, so it's a one credit clear or nothing! Every time I restarted, though, I got a screen or so farther, and I didn't feel like the challenge was unfair at all. I am going to come back to this, even if it isn't an immediate priority.

Sonic Wings Reunion has completely wormed its way into my head, though. I know it's overpriced, and I cannot argue in favor of the graphics, but it's extremely fun to play. Right now, I'm seeing if I can grind out a 1CC on easy mode and get all the character endings while I'm at it. Since each pair within the ten character cast has a unique ending, I might be able to get a 1CC in normal mode, too. I don't want to get ahead of myself, though, so I'm going to enjoy the level I'm at!

I popped another 9 credits into Progear, too, but somehow did worse than I had the night before. This was disappointing, but ultimately okay.
