The Queer Halloween Stories Bundle has some time left to run still. $60 gets you a mound of interesting stuff to rummage through. It’s available until the end of the month. (Itch)
Pet Cats, Save The World. An old Twine fave and a perpetual mood these days. (Itch)
Fancy some cute eat the rich Bombjack action? Jack Dragon might just be the game for you. (Steam)
Fancy some cute eat the rich Bombjack action but on the ZX Spectrum? Jack Dragon might just be the game for you. (Itch)
Rocky And Co. The exceptionally talented Stu, Smila and Saul channeling Datasoft for this recent C64 release. A fine choice and as gorgeous a game as you’d expect. (Itch)
The Museum Of Sprites, it’s a Bitsy museum of Bitsy sprites! I love the whole museum concept that’s cropped up in recent years, I love Bitsy. More, please. (Itch) (Oh look, more)
Talking of museums, if you’ve not taken a look at Digital Eclipse’s Making Of Karateka yet, it’s highly recommended. I’m hopelessly addicted to the Death Bounce remake, twin stick stuff that’s right up my street. (Website)
If you need some convincing, here’s another wonderful Rob for you, talking about The Making Of Karateka. (YouTube)
Chinny on Jaws. I have absolutely no recollection of this existing. I have no idea how that happened, how do you even miss a Jaws videogame? (YouTube)
I’m always up for an Exile retrospective. (Eurogamer)
Indieretronews reporting on a Spectrum Next port of Saboteur. I still love the first two (you can get them on consoles and stuff now too, the future is magic) and this looks like a lovely interpretation. (Link)
Haven’t got round to playing it yet but I had to grab Redraptor on the Switch because it looks like a fab little shooter. Other formats are available. (Website)
Whilst I’m thinking about Switch games, I didn’t see Under Dungeon get nearly enough love when it came out and that’s a big shame because I really enjoyed it. Again, other formats are available. (Website)
GunDeck[100] is down for release this week. An arcadey arena shooter leaning into the whole 3 card thing that’s popular right now. It’s colourful! (Steam)
Sin over at RPS recommends Highway Rampage. Spyhunter-ish, but with 2023 bells and whistles. Bonus: Getting some wild mid to late 2000’s downloadable game vibes from the graphics. Looks great. (Steam) (RPS supporters only piece)
