A sneak peek into Issue 2 of #GamingCulture
Our #ClairObscurExpedition33 review is shaping up nicely
#FullFatGaming

Tales of Graces is a heartfelt journey of redemption, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Set in a beautifully crafted world where the lines between duty and desire blur, this entry in the beloved Tales of series delivers a compelling narrative, dynamic combat, and a cast of characters who grow on you like lifelong companions. Whether you’re drawn to its emotionally charged story, its fast-paced Linear Motion Battle System, or its themes of second chances and self-discovery, Tales of Graces proves that even in the face of tragedy, there’s always room for hope, and a little heroism along the way

We have found memories of those games that you could play whilst loading. I asked about and @sbgamingculture.bsky.social remembers that there was one similar to "Potty Painter"/Qix, and the famous Invade-a-Load with excellent Hubbard music.

In Issue 1, we remembered the late, great Joffa Smiff (Jonathan M Smith), a prolific #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum coder that gave us #PudPud, #Cobra and many other classics. Here is what @sbgamingculture.bsky.social reckons are six of his best. Do you agree?
