@win1999 I have had a lot of play sessions with it too short to blog about- it's so easy to just pick up, and even easier to play "just one more round." Did the pizzeria have any other machines?

A lot of SHMUMPs that were really difficult (i particularly remember Raiden Fighters), Pac-Man, Frogger (another personal favorite, the the frog who's running late to work apparently: https://imgur.com/wait-was-frogger-businessman-what-did-he-do-living-5g87ec9) and a bootleg Tetris where you could only rotate counter-clockwise (so frustrating)

Some days I feel like the only American who has not witnessed the Weinermobile in person.

@skep Even living in the middle of a summoning circle made up entirely of strip malls, I had never seen one before today.

Any time I see Myth Makers I keep thinking that the art style and character designs on the box art are actually quite cute and charming, but naturally I'm aware of the fact that they're all like, barely functional, barebones and copypasted from other games by the same dev. A shame, but at least they can be funny.

@overclockworked Yeah, I am going to go back to it, so I'll talk more about some of the other weirdness with it later-- it is extremely bad-- but it was very entertaining to constantly be launching everywhere and dying. It kind of tries to duct tape its problems in some bizarre ways, but I don't get paying for art that cute while not making sure some part of the game worked.
Thanks so much! I'm digging your game blog. games are life
