#justbeatit Outrun Game Gear
Pretty nice approximation of the original. However quite different too. Its shorter and there’s pyramids in Europe? Also in this version you need to use brakes where in the arcade pumping gas was enough. Music is slapping as ever though!

#justbeatit The Room
After watching Hellraiser I was in the mood for some puzzle boxes. And idk why this game is called The Room because its just a series of puzzle boxes. They weren’t particularly challenging but it was a fun 2h of clicking around with jank controls.

Power Drift
Game is held together by shoestrings&ducttape and it should work at all. Yet it’s a very fun but nauseating racer. Managed to beat two courses on easy and even that was tough. Game is not meant to beat. Seen the rest of the tracks. So I call #justbeatit.

#justbeatit Overboard!
Murder mystery adventure game by @inkle.co. Except you committed the murder and you have try to not get arrested for it (and if you get insurance money that’s nice bonus!).
Got 3 endings, 1 with credits. Very tense and well written timeloop game.

AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst

I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!

#justbeatit Quibble Race
My first UFO50 game I tried and it was a fun one! Sort of a horse betting game with cute little creatures where you can influence the outcome by roiding or crippling them. Very difficult because of the randomness, but strangly exciting.

Playing on the Sega Ages version but decided against the accessibly options. Brutal arcade difficulty makes every mistake a game over. After grinding for some hours I beat it with 11s to spare! Excellent game even after all these years.

Wanted to play the new #qbj3 on my Steam Deck (already tried the standalone in Win)
I had already installed #LibreQuake in here (which includes Ironwail), so I only had to download the mod files and voilà, it plays seamlessly
Got surprised because this has rumble and gyro controls too, very cool!
