Submit Posts now available!

You may notice that on the sidebar there’s a new feature: a page to allow users to submit posts. Sorry for not implementing it sooner! Please feel free to make use of it, or if you want to, you can email your posts to me instead and I can post them for you. Generally they include:

The title of the game you want to showcase
An image or two (the form supports HTML, so you can upload your images to a host such as put.re and type in <img src=”https://url-goes-here”>)
A paragraph+ about the game, such as who made it, why you find it notable, etc.

Have fun, and let me know if you run across any problems!

Rainbow Games lives once again!

Welcome back to Rainbow Games! We started out as a Dreamwidth community and now we’re relatively platform-agnostic! I (moon) am hosting this on my own hosting using WordPress, so hopefully it’ll be easier to allow folks to contribute, and for people to keep up with it!

So, once more…

Hello, and welcome to Rainbow Games! This is a community for discussion of video games, with a focus on lesser-known titles. We welcome a wide variety of posts: reviews, impressions, screenshots, icons, fan art and fic, crafts, etc.!

This community is maintained and moderated by myself, moon! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line via comment or email.

Panic!/Switch! (Sega CD) screenshots

I’ve been thinking a lot about Panic!/ (Switch! in Japan) for the Sega CD lately. It’s not a game I replay very often, but I really like it! A lot of people tend to criticize the game for being “barely a game,” mostly because it consists of hitting different buttons that cause different one-off jokes to happen. Some of the buttons send you to different rooms in the game, so in that sense, it’s a little bit like a gag-filled Choose Your Own Adventure, which absolutely qualifies as a game by my standards.

Anyway, some of the gags work and some don’t, but I think there’s a lot of value in the art as well as the writing. The last time I played through Panic! I took a bunch of screenshots of some of my favorite parts, so here they are!
