I haven't bought any physical games this year, but I had pre-ordered these two in October of last year, they finally arrived!

Going to be travelling for a bit but hope to keep up development on my laptop. I have combo counters and screen bouncing in place. Should probably get around to enemy behavior next...

Honestly, having someone like Wood (#BeatEmUps) be so enthusiastic about the #SteamDeck and upcoming #Steam consoles/hardware is a big win for #Valve (and #Linux).

The dude is honestly the most normie #gaming creator I'm subscribed to and follow, and it surprises nobody why his favourite gaming company/ecosystem is #Nintendo's - for him to have always been full of praises for the Deck, a Linux gaming console, says something really good about the (growing) gaming scene here as a whole.

Did some co-op stuff on the Series X yesterday-- beat 3D low-poly indie beatemup Breakneck City with the help of my kid. It was a blast. This game is hilarious. Captured the final boss fight here, where we finally kicked his ass. This fight was TOUGH and took us several tries. Luckily, this game was pretty good with checkpoints, etc- it feels fair to play. It's a challenge but was never overly frustrating. At least not playing together. No idea how people could solo a walkthrough of this one, though. This last boss is ROUGH.

Por último, otra de las novedades recientes también para Commodore 64, es este juego 'beat'em-up' titulado "Soiled Iron" de drmortalwombat (sic).

Estamos en los años 80, alrededor del año 4000 a. C. Dos nuevos inventos ofrecen una nueva oportunidad profesional para tipos musculosos, de pelo largo y sin educación, con una marca de nacimiento en forma de corona (además de impulsar una cinta de correr o arrastrar piedras en una cantera). Con espadas de hierro y ropa interior diminuta, ahora puedes convertirte en un guerrero bárbaro, competir en peleas en fosos o recolectar riquezas y botines de mazmorras y palacios.

Soiled Iron es un clásico juego de lucha con espadas para dos oponentes. Ofrece un modo de búsqueda y una experiencia de lucha uno contra uno.

Es compatible con PAL y NTSC, y debería funcionar con todas las variantes de hardware y emulación de C64.

Hay dos opciones para cargar el juego. Una imagen de disco ofrece una introducción y un cargador rápido, pero requiere una emulación de unidad 1541 real. Como alternativa, obtienes dos archivos prg individuales para los dos modos de juego. Estos se pueden cargar opcionalmente desde, por ejemplo, cinta, sd2iec o memoria USB en varios emuladores.

I absolutely dislike the pixel art graphics of #DaveTheDiver and #Moonlighter, it's just my least favourite type of (pixel art) graphics in a game, honestly, it looks so bad to me - yet, I feel like I've to buy them lol. The former, bcos of the non-stop overwhelmingly positive reviews, and the latter bcos Wood (from #BeatEmUps/#NontendoPodcast) really liked it and the game's awfully cheap.

I am looking forward to making and sharing more little clips like this when I talk about some of the games I have been playing.

There are a couple of #SailorMoon arcade-y #BeatEmUps on the SNES and Sega Megadrive and something that has given me an infinite amount of joy, just watching Sailor Jupiter unload the pain on the baddies!

One of my favorite things about arcade games is finding out what the story was from the end credits

I got my #crt #monitor back from #sharpimagerepair in #lasvegas. They rebuilt, cleaned & calibrated my display. I’ll have time this weekend to hopefully reassemble my #segaswing #arcade #cabinet & play some #konami #beatemups.
