Going to have to do some catching up whenever I play again! I still have yet to hit 10 lines.

Anytime after 1:30 should be fine for folks. If anyone vegetarian is coming let me know so I can whip up a paneer or chickpea based curry, otherwise there's a beef curry for tonight.

Ah crap, looks like I may have said yes prematurely without realising there were already plans made for that day; and I can't escape it either.
I'll have to sit this one out, unfortunately.

It's that time again! And Halloween means we should for sure play Ghostlop or Deathsmiles at some point.

Many thanks for hosting! I had an absolute blast :D It was really cool to check out Sideline as well, awesome game!

Had to put on The Hybrid Front OST when I got home because I couldn't get that Tetris song out of my head lol. Like I said at the meet, The Hybrid Front prob has my favorite MD OST actually. I like the following songs the most probably but they're all great:

- Opening Theme - Title
- Earth - Sukarabe Fight BGM 3
- Earth - Rebellion Fight BGM 1
- Moon/Mars - Sakurabe BGM 2
- Moon/Mars - Cocoon Fight BGM 2

EDIT: Actually, it's too hard to pick favorites, the whole OST is amazing lol...

colour_thief, I played the hell out of Lizard all weekend long - about the only thing I haven't done is get all the coins yet, thanks again for getting me into it. I definitely want a cartridge for this.

UPGRADES! I picked up a copy of Micro Mages for PC as well as a USB hub so I don't need to drag the computer right to the couch to plug in controllers. I don't think it adds too much input lag as far as I can tell... I also installed a switch for the CRT so it's not a mess of switching the wiring to change consoles, just gotta slide the toggle to go from NES->SNES->N64.

Do people wanna come over on the 4th and play some games on Saturday?

I'll be there!

Glad you're enjoying Lizard and Micro Mages! I recently got my copy of Xenocrisis (homebrew Genesis coop Smash TV-like) which I can bring for people to check out.
