SNOW HORSE - TWITCHY, SCOREY, HORSE SNOWBOARDY

Barry, Arin and Suzy try this horse snowboarding stunt scoring game. Looks pretty enough and silly enough to be fun!

Two Steam Sleigh episodes today! Nice Christmas treat :) Brian, Barry and Suzy chat while playing this tower defence game that's not Plants Vs Zombies. It's versus bugs instead!

Xmas Carnage Part 2

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw4pm5N1G_o

Barry freaks out trying to find his way on such little health. All the while the tune for "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" is playing in the background. Ross and him hum it nervously as they navigate the maze.

They're really into this! The music itself swings between the Rudolph and really nail biting tense music.

They open the way into this gloomy castle and bad guys pop up everywhere. Every time someone pops up they freak out and desperately try to shoot them. They don't know how to change weapons, unfortunately!

It's a pretty good video! Not a single dull moment here :)

Xmas Carnage Part 1

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PKsmrEEOOs

Happy Christmas everyone and to Steam Sleigh with Ross and Barry! By the way, I never commented on the intro. Barry as the spinning dreidel bouncing on the words is a really nice touch!

Ross chooses a game that isn't even in English! At least they can play away though.

It's one weird game. It's another snowy FPS. When you attack the snowmen with an axe, they bleed. They bleed red blood! It's another wonderful piece of abandonware and I'm glad to join and watch as they play.

Ross and Barry play a really old looking Doom clone with a Christmas theme. That old crappy charm is there :) You go around shooting polar bears, turning them into snowmen.

Really creepy looking Grinch here too. Lots of fenced snowy path corridors to navigate.

This game crashes too! When it happens, Barry and Ross talk more about Christmas plans. Sounds like it's gonna be a quiet one for them. It's gonna be quietish for me too. Just me and another family member.

Ross shares a Christmas story about Holly and him bringing a bird to a nursing home and all the characters they meet there. It's a lovely story and well worth listening to. Check it out! :)

SkyRoads Xmas Special

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSvCBd-a3xs

Nostalgia overload for Barry! Ross lucked out!

Nice 3D graphics in this spaceship driving game. Depth perception seems kinda tricky during really difficult moments. The level select is a blessing!

Barry is nostalgic and Ross is all whatever. They talk about nostalgic PC games though, which is nice.

Santa's XMAS Caper

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKe08dZqQ4w

Ross found some more Christmas abandonware games! I love this concept! What are abandonware sites like now? I haven't browsed them in a long time.

This one's a nice platformer where Santa Claus jumps around. "Deck The Halls" plays in the background. This game seems to have a very ZX Spectrum feel to it.

There's a funny part where they make an emotional analysis on the moon's face and they get Kevin to zoom in on it. That moon seems to have many burdens!

The Grinch Part 2

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFehrDU8I9Y

Ross and Barry scream in terror when a kid comes up to hug them! Try as they might, the kid just won't let go! Much of the humour in this episode comes from this.

How do they get rid of the kid? It just won't let go no matter what they try!

All of a sudden, the game crashes. They manage the rest of the episode by talking about Dr Seuss' amazingly named first book: "The Pocket Book of Boners". Never heard of that one before:)

The Grinch Part 1

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taqrWukqiyI

First time blogging about Steam Sleigh! Ross and Barry are here playing a game with a very Christmasy name.

Barry tells us about an interesting website from the late 90s called Old Man Murray. Never heard of that one before.

Graphics in this game are pretty rough, like PS1 graphics, except less pixelly. Closer to N64 I suppose, but The Grinch himself moves just like a PS1 platform mascot.

First episode is with them running around the hub, watching cutscenes, tutorials, figuring stuff out.
