[Llamasoft ✨] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, link in bio. ℹ Journal Page 27 about the Jdrama Grand Maison Tokyo is out NOW! Link in bio. 🇮🇹Disponibile anche in italiano! . Some more Jeff Minter and Llamasoft goodness, for our love and joy! For some odd reason, I find Batalyx extremely fascinating XD only Jeff Minter could come up with such weird games. I found the black ad you see randomly on ebay, while I was looking for Llamasoft games. And of course, where will I find something like that again? So I got it as well ( ˙꒳​˙ ). Had to wait a bit for all the packages to arrive (UK postage to Italy is now slower because of Brexit), and today's the day I show these to you! And up in the right corner, the DOS version of Tempest 2000, because yes. Can never have enough Tempest 😌. . Talking about obscure games, on Sunday I'll be able to try a special game for the first time: Tempest 3000! You might be saying, ha, yet another Tempest! Even though it is another version of that, this one only came out on the Nuon, an entertainment system that is so rare that it's really something to see it in real life. And it can't be really emulated either, so even owners of the original machine have to risk using it to play the games. Tempest 3000 is even rarer XD. But thanks to @magnum_cdi, my dreams of playing the game are going to become reality! 🤣Can't bring it back home, though. I'll see if it will be possible to snap an aesthetic pic of it! . #llamasoft #jeffminter #yak #ivanzorzin #ps4 #playstation4 #commodore64 #commodore64games #batalyx #gridrunner #tempest3000 #tempest2000 #nuon #samsungnuon #obscureconsoles #rareconsole #retrocomputer #retrogaming #retrogamer #gamergirls #gamergirl #c64 #atari800 #polybius #polybiusarcade #atari #atari50 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZa_CjoKtm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[In the same picture, a worthwhile purchase, and a Watara Supervision!] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, www.vintagepeople.it, and www.gamerevs.it, links in bio! . I expected to buy a console at the Bologna Nerd Show (videogames and anime convention in Italy), but I never thought I would have found... This! It's technically a really terrible portable console that was meant as a rival for the GameBoy, yes, but you know, collection reasons...! And even if it's bad, I'd still want to try it and review it. Luckily it was exceptionally cheap for what it is (I mean, not "cheap" per se, but it could have been way more expensive online), and I was so astonished to see one, that I couldn't leave it there! . And on the left, a cute plushie backpack that I got in the same place 🤣. Probably a better purchase than the poor Watara, according to most people 👀. The amazing @cristian_pixio did try to warn me not to buy it, but no one will stop my collector spree 😎 (he was surely right though). . #watarasupervision #watara #gamerevs #videogameconsole #obscureconsoles #gameboy #gamergirls #gamergirl #retrogamer #retrogaming #retrogamers https://www.instagram.com/p/ConbOHRI86P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[Burnout Paradise Remastered] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, link in bio. . Forgive me for not posting in a while, but I've been sadly busy with exams 😕. One was this morning, and it sadly didn't go well, and the funny thing is that the examiner was probably angry about something, because he failed everyone before me as well 👀 what a nice morning. I'll have a chance to try it again in January, and I'll see if I can. In the meantime, my next exam is next Monday :) then I'll probably be able to relax for a while. Hopefully! . This Thursday's Journal page will be page 30! It's honestly insane how I managed to get this far, I thought I'd give up sooner tbh 👀. But I'm glad to see that everyone has been enjoying it, and that's what's important! I hope you'll keep enjoying it in the future as well. . I've also finished Atelier Firis, and what's ironic is that there isn't any final boss or anything... Just an insanely difficult exam 👀 like, answering some multiple choice questions, crafting an op item without the game explaining what they actually need you to make, and a battle against an indestructible puni 👀. Amazing 👀. I failed it the first time because I didn't understand that you needed to craft the item during the exam and you needed to have the items ready to make the final crafting step, then I looked it up and almost failed again because something went wrong during the exam 👀 heh, I wanted to game to forget my real life lolol. . #burnoutparadise #burnoutparadiseremastered #burnoutlegends #nintendo #nintendoswitch #nintendoswitchgames #racinggames #racinggame #nokiangage #nokiangageqd #nokiangageclassic #pstv #playstationtv #obscureconsoles #gamergirls #gamergirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFFydho3OK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[Tempest 3000 💕] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, link in bio. ℹ You can find Journal Page 13 about TxK (another Tempest version) at the link in bio! . First of all, this game isn't mine XD it belongs to the awesome @magnum_cdi who was so kind to let me try it at #firenzevintagebit2022! It's very similar to Tempest 2000, but has more vector-looking graphics and smokey effects. Also, it's slightly "epilepsy-warning", just like Polybius 👀. Jeff Minter really does love making games like these, doesn't he? I'd like to own this game too one day! You can play this on a device called Nuon, a dvd player that also plays games! The model I tried was specifically the Samsung Nuon DVD N-505, with the HPI Stealth pad. . Also, I tried Tempest 4000 on the new Atari VCS (that is not the Atari 2600 you're thinking about, sadly), and it's practically the same as the other versions, but this one supports a special controller: a "classic" joystick that also has a paddle included! I tried it to see if it would feel similar to the original arcade game, but that wasn't the case, sadly. Too bad, but I'm glad they tried to include it! It would be an amazing selling point if it worked XD. . After that, I picked up the regular controller and played a few levels, and soon enough I was surrounded by various people and friends XD. They were all taking pictures and videos of me playing. I'm glad that I could make them smile ( ˙꒳​˙ ). . #tempest4000 #tempest2000 #txk #atarivcs #atari #samsungnuon #nuon #llamasoft #tempest3000 #jeffminter #crtgaming #crt #retrogaming #retrogamer #obscureconsoles #obscuregames #gamergirl #gamergirls #galaxyaesthetic (at Spedale Sant’antonio a Lastra a Signa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClhNgyZoXCD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
