RetroGeek GamingThis is the first video of a potential series! Should we build a My Little Pony amusement park in Planet Coaster 2? :D I thought it could be a good idea to have different areas for the different generations and mix scenery with rides and rollercoasters that reflect the various characters. So, I started with Applejack's house.
Do you think I should add or remove any elements? And more importantly, what should the park be called??

My main channel: youtube.com/@RetroGeekCrafts18 Helpful Tips for Kairosoft Doraemon Dorayaki ShopRetroGeek Gaming2024-12-22 | I think I won't be the only one who feels that Kairsofot games are amongst the best. What started as a mobile games company soon expanded into PC, so you can now get titles like this one directly on Steam. Of course, as soon as I saw Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story was released, I got it. And it quickly grew into my new favourite Kairosoft game (sorry, Convenience Stories, you're my second choice now!). So, I thought I would show you some tips I learned from playing the game. Eighteen tips or little pieces of advice that work for early and mid game, to be more specific. But there's so much more I'm discovering every day, please feel free to share your own advice!

My main channel: youtube.com/@RetroGeekCraftsTop Games Inspired by Ancient Egypt & Picked by an Archaeologist - Strategy, Sims, Action, And MoreRetroGeek Gaming2023-08-31 | I love playing games inspired by history - especially if they are accurate and/or can transport me back in time! Egypt, in particular, has always captured my attention (and it's one of the reasons I devided to study anthropology and archaeology). So, I thought I would put together a list showing you my favourite games inspired by ancient Egypt and explain what makes them special. Just a not: I selected the ones with a more realistic portrayal of Egypt (happy to make a different video with the more... relaxed interpretations like Tomb Raider, Nancy Drew, etc).

My main channel: youtube.com/@RetroGeekCraftsOpening/Unboxing Disneys Lorcana Card Packs In Pre-Release *NEW* Boosters Preview First ChapterRetroGeek Gaming2023-08-20 | I'm very happy to show you something I've been waiting to see for a long time! As you might have heard, Disney has been working with Ravensburger to create a collectible card game with the characters from the movies. The game is similar to Pokemon or Magic the Gathering (MTG). The booster packs are not going to be released until September. However, I was lucky enough to find some a little bit in advance! And we're going to open them together!
Lorcana is a trading card game that features characters and stories from 99 years of animation history. As a Magic The Gathering player, as soon as I heard Disney was releasing this, I sort of... lost my mind a little bit. Because while I am not a massive fan of the studio, I do love some of the movies. So, let's see what we get in these booster packs. Crossing fingers, we get some nice foils!
Quick jump to: Intro: 00:00 Opening the trading card booster packs: 01:44 Summary and favourite cards: 21:01
Do you want to learn how to play Lorcana with me? Let me know, and I'll make a video using these cards I just unpacked :)
