Uploaded a little playthrough of my new #ZXSpectrum game to YouTube, would have got further if I didn't get cocky 😆
Roojliek Gameplay (no commentary)
Just a round of my brand new ASCII based ZX Spectrum roguelike.
Not a bad run, although I got a bit cocky at the end - thought I could make it past the zombies onto the next room.

@roysterini.bsky.social Did you order a Commodore 64 Ultimate from Commodore Inc and receive any an estimated shipping date? I am estimating my beige one to be shipped in December 2025. I did order an ArcadeR Joystick. Although, I think there is a back order delay with these.
