Shoot 'em up @vampire.poncle.games features enemies based on #Welsh folk creature Mari Lwyd.

"Mari Lwyd" can mean "Grey Mare", but its possible Virgin Mary reference is reflected in Maronna's name that doubles as an Italian pun.

Maronna Meea continues the Welsh-Italian theme.

You're probably the best placed person for that level of info lol! I'm relieved you've got something in place haha

I'm sure you've been asked this before, but I have to know: have you got all this insured? I'm sure much of it is irreplaceable if something did happen to any of it, but it's a treasure trove worth protecting in some capacity!

Taking this advice as a chance to share the amazing game a dear friend of mine developed, Toward Dawn!

It's a fantasy RPG inspired by Welsh mythology, featuring loads of interesting characters and places to explore. Would very much recommend giving it a go ♥️

Spotted on Resetera.

To be fair, any reason to jump back into the Golden Age of piracy with Welsh pirates again is enough for me!

Perhaps one of the most well-known games with a #Welsh protagonist is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

New rumours have surfaced again of the changes the supposed remake will feature.

Not sure if the RPG elements will make for a better game, but removing the modern day stuff might!

2010 puzzle-platformer Apple Jack's backstory sees the man with an apple for a head travelling from England to #Wales to rescue his dog from Mount #Snowdon.

Each level is named after a town, with many from the #Welsh counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd featuring in the final portions of the game.

Be sure to listen in to BBC Radio Cymru's Tros Frecwast before Monday morning's 8am bulletin (15/09), to catch him (me) discussing his (Super Mario's) 40th anniversary!
