I made a quick video of my game room. Nothing fancy. More or less a time capsule of a great day. 😊

Playing Asura the striker on steam this morning.
Fun space harrier style game. Tight controls and great music. I am really enjoying this one from game dev Leftover.

Checking out the ThunderForce series recently.

Such a fun game. The graphics and music are awesome.
