It's #RandomGameSaturday and I'm gonna cheat with this new game I bought last week.
Mattias@anosou.com · last mo.It’s technically Saturday. I just got home after a night out and found this in the mailbox so… #RandomGameSaturday R-Type Tactics feels like it’d make no sense but it totally does—R-Type is all about strategic decisions and translates well to turn-based. Glad both entries got a modern port.
Suddenly, a release of Jon Hassell's last-ever concert: jonhassell.bandcamp.com/album/music-... Instantly pre-ordered, the first to Pentimento albums are extraordinary.

First billion+ on my own pinball machine. Managed to reach Cygnus X-1 Book 1 - The Voyage but had horrible jackpot values and botched it. A lot of points from Bastille Day. Tried to always go for it in multiball and the 1.19 Rush code has a longer timer. Had one mode left for Cygnus X-1 Book 2 🙃
Extra opening hours and stream at the club to celebrate the arrival of Rush. The drink of the night is, of course, Gold Rush.

Dracula, seeing a man seemingly dead:
Anthony Oliveira@meakoopa.bsky.social · 2w agoI am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

Grrr, just when I finally decided to buy a Rush Pro pinball machine a cheap Black Knight: Sword of Rage Pro appeared somewhat locally. That’s one of few other games on my list. I’m gonna have to sell a BUNCH of other shit, aren’t I?
Been spending my vacation mostly organizing and selling things. Games, music, music gear, and so on. Feels pretty good actually. The goal is to save up a bunch of money to buy a Rush pinball machine, like the weirdo I am.
Still selling a bunch of video game soundtrack CDs. Everything in the For Sale folder here: vgmdb.net/db/collectio... Hit me up if you’re interested in anything! VGM is cool. 😎

Considering the very financially irresponsible idea ”buy a modern Stern pinball machine”. Currently hard at work evaluating each available pin and not fully jiving with anything except maybe D&D. I do quite fancy Rush tho…

Mattias@anosou.com · 2mo agoIt’s #RandomGameSaturday and I pulled out Fatal Labyrinth. Originally released for Sega Meganet (!?) and a very early example of a Japanese-developed roguelike. Curious. Had to buy it but have yet to play it.
