[Llamasoft ✨] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, link in bio. ℹ Journal Page 27 about the Jdrama Grand Maison Tokyo is out NOW! Link in bio. 🇮🇹Disponibile anche in italiano! . Some more Jeff Minter and Llamasoft goodness, for our love and joy! For some odd reason, I find Batalyx extremely fascinating XD only Jeff Minter could come up with such weird games. I found the black ad you see randomly on ebay, while I was looking for Llamasoft games. And of course, where will I find something like that again? So I got it as well ( ˙꒳​˙ ). Had to wait a bit for all the packages to arrive (UK postage to Italy is now slower because of Brexit), and today's the day I show these to you! And up in the right corner, the DOS version of Tempest 2000, because yes. Can never have enough Tempest 😌. . Talking about obscure games, on Sunday I'll be able to try a special game for the first time: Tempest 3000! You might be saying, ha, yet another Tempest! Even though it is another version of that, this one only came out on the Nuon, an entertainment system that is so rare that it's really something to see it in real life. And it can't be really emulated either, so even owners of the original machine have to risk using it to play the games. Tempest 3000 is even rarer XD. But thanks to @magnum_cdi, my dreams of playing the game are going to become reality! 🤣Can't bring it back home, though. I'll see if it will be possible to snap an aesthetic pic of it! . #llamasoft #jeffminter #yak #ivanzorzin #ps4 #playstation4 #commodore64 #commodore64games #batalyx #gridrunner #tempest3000 #tempest2000 #nuon #samsungnuon #obscureconsoles #rareconsole #retrocomputer #retrogaming #retrogamer #gamergirls #gamergirl #c64 #atari800 #polybius #polybiusarcade #atari #atari50 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZa_CjoKtm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are two of my MCC game personifications for a challenge I’m doing

Buildmart has now been skipped 3 mccs in a row. It didn't get skipped at pride, but only because it literally couldn't be (there were only 8 games to pick from so all 8 got played). I think that might be the new record for most times a game was playable but players didn't want it. Not surprising given how long it's been played for with no real changes to the gameplay loop.

Hopefully this will be enough for it to get benched at least once. If not, then it looks like buildmart might just become a dedicated skip button until it does get taken out.

The game where you trident into the mountain holes is stressing me so bad

grid runners. banger gameplay i love watching the stream like

mani-festing (manifold manifesting) a win for my streamer and his sultry little elf costume

I absolutely adore toosh but they are just not a good mcc team combo I think shdbdbdbsb

i would agree,, im not sure who tina could team with that would allow her to do well honestly but maybe ant or punz?? i think they just have calmer demeanors as a whole and would be good to work and teach her a better sense of direction since that seems to be a struggle

Every time I watch Punz play grid runners I hate it more and more… I used to love it-PBA

no literally the first time i watched it the team i was watching came first and like. dominated. and now every time i watch it sucks lmao

GRIDRUNNERS YAS !

buildmart needs to be changed bc its boring now. i Get It. i know whos gonna be good and whos gonna be bad and its the SAME GAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN !! THERES NOTHING FRESH OR CHALLENGING OR WORTH CARING ABOUT ANYMORE !

For SOT, dream was the one to do the vault rush yea? With dodgebolt it was the funneling? PKW he kept beating the course so they kept updating the difficulty. But how did he affect ace race, parkour tag, hole in the wall and gridrunners if you don't mind me asking?

ace race he caused the removal of the skip in space race because he hit it so consistently, parkout tag the strat of diamond patterns, the constant circling and the strat mapping of those old maps were all based off of him, hole in the wall im fairly sure dream was the first to at least popularise the information that a wall can never come from the direction which the last went to, gridrunners was the strat of pausing before the room so everyone is ready because the times of the rooms are from entry to complete, and only the total time counted those bits running between rooms and it was better to wait, as the time difference between rooms were small, so taking longer overall to get quicker room times was more effective

proximity chat mcc would be so funny tho

like hysterically funny

imagine during the breaks in between games all the teams sequester themselves in like various corners of the map to plan except for that one single team who doesn't plan jack shit and those members run around scaring everyone like "WHATS UP PURPLE what r we talking abt :D"

ace race running by wilbur as hes yelling about how he wants to make sweet love to ace race and all the pg streamers just going LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

it would be pretty scary during parkour tag as well because you wouldn't be able to warn your teammates and youd have to shut the fuck up while being hunted

oh god the noise of the decision dome

sands of time would be horrifying. like. you're alone in this desert cave and you'd have to type to your teammates

imagine the beginning of gridrunners, being able to faintly hear everyone as you're lined up

proximity chat mcc is now so entertaining to me i love it

(yes i know its unrealistic. i request like. one pls. like the winners one or smth as an added handicap)
