Anything take your fancy there?Unfortunately not - hopefully next time!
What have you been playing lately?Just emulated stuff, as has been the norm for me for most of this year. Saturn Bomberman (Saturn, of course ) remains a firm favourite, and I plan to play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine) next week for Halloween.
I'll probably check out The Holy Gosh Darn demo but it seems to be a Norwegian production. Is it still mandatory to wear the lusekofte when playing?
Been playing a load of Starship Troopers: Extermination - janky but awesome fun, with nice progression across multiple classes. But I can only play THAT because I finally finished the absolutely stunning Tactical Breach Wizards, a game that I suspect will live in my "Top 10 Games of All Time" list for many years to come.How did I miss Tactical Breach Wizards? It sounds so far up my alley it's past the dead end.
I'll probably check out The Holy Gosh Darn demo
Going by the screenshots, that game has literal butt-face characters.
