I recently played a really fun #platforming indie game by @pd-cgt.bsky.social. I've played a few other games by this #IndieDev, all of which share the same unique art style. This one had us fighting our way through the land of Esperanto. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #IndieGame #HandDrawnArt #IndieGame

I recently played a couple #PointAndClickAdventure games for #Windows95, one based on #TinyToons, the other on #Rumpelstiltskin. The animation in Tiny Toons was great, bringing back memories of the cartoon growing up. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro #ClassicWindows #Win95 #Twitch #BusterBunny

I played a handful of #Windows95 / #Windows98 games last month, including #Duckman - The #GraphicAdventure of a Private Dick. It was a fun little #PointAndClickAdventure based on the 1990s #cartoon. If you're a fan of the cartoon and that kind of humor, check it out! | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Retro

I played through #SeriousSam for #AugustFTW. This was an #FPS game from the #ClassicWindows era that took things in a brighter, sillier direction from the norm. With a nice array of weapons and enemies, it's definitely worth a try. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #RetroGaming #Twitch #Retro #ShooterGame

I hope everyone has had a lovely holiday season! This year I played two #Christmas themed games, both of which were fun in their own way. First was Santa's #Xmas Caper for #DOS, which was a decent #platformer but with a very floaty #Santa. Pretty basic, but competent and fun. | twitch.tv/grescokit
