Papyrus, GBC platformer. Same engine as Kirikou I did the other week, but only one real chance to zip. Standard platformer, couple nice skips. Only real RNG is the crocodile boss. Lowered WR by 1:45. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOqp...

Sub 11. Still not deathless

A brief PSA :-) #ROMhacking #FanTranslation #SchrodingerNoNeko #PS1

Yoshi's Island, first time playing. Really enjoyed it. Obv music and art are top tier. Controls very smoothly. I love that they put secrets everywhere, satisfying to go out of your way and always get a little something. My only real criticism is it's way too easy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIIp...

Late 2014, and still running as many games as ever

Folding my laundry

And a run, better speedrun than casual for sure, but still doesn't feel great, that landing animation always feels bad. Exonym found some nice stuff, death warps in stage 1 and 5, and a cool flight glitch in stage 5. No combat at all, just do the goals in the stage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIf3...

Fido Dido on Genesis, an unreleased platformer based on the 7UP mascot. Pretty basic overall, but they put way too many different mechanics in. Animation looks good but at the cost of control, annoying to get locked every time you land from a jump. ✏️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PIw...

I've routed 100s of games and this is an all time fav route already. It just feels so creative and clever taking a safeguard likely implemented stop you from death looping on a wall, and abusing it to completely break the intended path. Quite proud of this one.

I majorly broke the progression. I noticed dying centers the screen vertically where you die, so dying at the bottom lets you move backwards against the scroll. By taking 13 intentional deaths in the run, I skip looping stages many times, and collect late game keys early, avoiding stage revisits.

Hi no Tori, an adventure shmup? for MSX2. Goal is to collect tablets to open doors to eventually collect the 5 key items to fight the final boss. Stages loop vertically and horizontally, so you have to figure out the correct way thru the stages. 🔥🐦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofAV...

TOMARC the Barbarian on Colecovision. idk why I spent an hour on this silly run, but it was kinda fun. Need to get your sword, then get to the girl. Then climb the web to get your sword and leave. Pretty tight jumps to get up but not bonk the walls, web is jank. 🗡️👸🕷️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5_y...

Escape, an unpublished C64 game. Need to collect the 13 squares then you can exit. Items are randomized on game over, so need to sit thru 2 min unskippable intro each run. Enemies do a lot of damage, so have to be very careful with hits. ⬜ www.youtube.com/watch?v=92l6...

Triss, another interesting Polish C64 game. Need to collect 20 stones along with items to progress. Found a cool OoB as the game starts, saves some late backtracking. Jumping is weirdly inconsistent. Just run around collecting stuff, no combat. 💎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5cR...

Happy 40th to Nintendo's ambitious but perhaps not entirely thought out platform expansion, the Famicom Disk System. Its few successes help mask the fact that it was a harsh lesson in not splitting your user base. Also, that disks were way easier to pirate than carts www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Zamczysko, a Polish C64 game from 1995. Found this earlier today. Simple game for how late it came out, need to collect keys in order get the 5 diamonds. Very easy game, I take a quick death late rather than trying to save health. 🏰💎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa68...

Strider Hiryu PC Engine CD. One of the few Arcade CD Rom games for the system, not the worst port of the game there is. This version has a unique desert stage so I decided on all 6 stages. Took a of couple hits but the goal was deathless and ending was decent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKE6...

And a run. Simple platformer, just get to the end of stage. First boss is heavy RNG, need stalactites to spawn over it. Was able to use the zip I found in a handful of places, unforutunately it doesn't really break anything, just small saves. Lowered WR by 17 secs. 👶🔪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOG7...

We have to find the guy who keeps making these and tell him it's time to stop and sort your life out. The Weird World of PS1 Licensed Games is live now! youtu.be/Bnb16hT-e38

Kirikou on GBC, a very simple platformer, based on a French animated movie. Not much challenge, definitely a kids game, but animation is pretty solid. Somehow I crashed the game with a video ram overflow, and I also found a zip, all normal things. 🔪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG0f...

I accidentally found a floor clip during runs last night, so me and mostly Exonym tried all the spots you could do it. You can clip right to area 2, skipping collecting the area 1 items, and then clip again back to area 2, wild it works out. Other run is now No OoB 👻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFeY...

Blinky's Scare School on Amiga, a neat little platformer adventure game. Need to collect items to mix in pots to allow you to get to the next area. I followed an existing route for the C64 version and optimized movement. Fun game. 👻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTri...

Ghost Battle on Amiga. 5 stages, need to get an item to get past the first part of the stage, then go to the boss. Bombs are crucial for bosses. Music is great and art by Henk Neiborg is unsurprisingly fantasic. Fun to figure out, no real RNG. 🗡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfnc...

Tecmo Tuesday is back!!!

I know I'm the last person who should talk about video production quality. However, if I see you playing a game and you stretched a 4:3 image to "fit the screen", I'm stopping right there. There's no excusing that.

Sword and the Rose on Amiga, a super shameless GnG clone, like they traced Arthur's sprite. Need to rescue the princess, collecting keys to open doors. Plays well, and you have air control. Easy and only took a couple playthrus to learn, really fun game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ktO...

Sword of the Apocalypse GBC. New homebrew platformer, choose your character (one rolls, other shoots/wall climbs) between levels and play with branching paths. The last level and boss being completely different. Some annoying GB studio complaints but decent game. ⚔️🔫 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa4-...

GnG on Amstrad, a limited port but still kinda interesting. Only 3 stages then it loops, no ending. One hit deaths, one weapon and you can't shoot opposite in midair, no continues. Mashing up close is super strong. A few annoying/random spots. Song is a jam. 🔪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDEV...

I made a visualization of the "post a banger that's not in English" meme thread on bsky: https://llimllib.github.io/banger_crawler/ Click on a song to give it a listen, it's fun to click around a bit I wrote a bit about it here […]

Mega Twins/Chiki Chiki Boys, Capcom arcade game. Pretty basic platformer with nice visuals, the colors are so bright. Played thru both versions and they changed a good amount between, mostly in the World version they removed a ton of bikini girls you rescue. 👬 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFl2...

Moonshadow, a C64 platformer. Only 1 life and no iframes, so gotta be careful. Go around collecting keys/items to progress. A lot of rooms to remember, I did my best to optimize without being too risky. Cut almost 4 mins off the WR. 🪓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfmH...

1cc #890: Dark Seal. Very cool D&D-style fantasy arcade adventure, with a variety of transformation spells ranging from useless to mighty. The final boss is brutally hard (and even moreso on the final Gate of Doom romset)

GnG on ZX Spectrum. It looked fun watching @bursterror.bsky.social suffer thru it. I found the spawns are consistent from a full reset, so I came up with my route and it's fairly easy to get to the Arremers. Then you just need a reasonable pattern from them. 🗡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jEa...
