A couple of years ago I started Ghosts N' Goblins NES but never finished it. I'm not about to sit through two loops of the game, so tomorrow let's just pick up with loop 2 huh?

If we don't finish it before Halloween month is over, next year we'll start at loop 3.

That's the bit xD

perfect for when you fall asleep to a friend and wake up after the channel raid has taken place.
(taken from Saturn FMV game, "Lunacy," and boy, what a fever dream of a game lmao)

Adding a few new channel point redeems/alerts. Also, adding captions to them where applicable for accessibility reasons.
First one, for the lurkers ;)
(and yes that is the gatekeeper dude from the old Nightmare VHS board games in case you were wondering [no one was wondering or had any idea])

Heh yeah honestly any game with infinite continues makes me feel pretty thankful - they DID show us mercy as child gamers occasionally heh.

I did manage to work out some cycles in those vertically scrolling stages that were incredibly satisfying to hunt out and learn. Ugh, what a game lmao

Would love to have ya lurking more if it were possible :). If you ever wanna keep up with stuff I do upload all VODs to my YT, but I think if there were one video of mine you'd enjoy it'd be this one ;)
(still have that 1cc journey on the back burner heh)

Ahh, this is great news: standalone DOSBox PURE.

I've used the PURE core on Retroarch for a few years now, and it's taken a lot of the fuss out of running DOS games. It autoconfigures an appropriate PC spec for a particular game correctly the vast majority of the time.

Oh god, THAT block. Waiting for the damn Tetris pieces was maybe the only dissatisfied "ugh" I let out lmao.

4 paths back to back is crazy tough work haha, I see why you'd need a break for a bit :P
