Ho-ho-ho!

Merry Holidays, all! We're into Day Two of our give-away. The beavants
(half beaver, half ant) and llamas --traditional mascots of cspiga
ever since 2023!-- are ever so excited this year. They've been
practicing their carolling for months. Have you ever heard a llama
carol? It's... unusual. Be glad you only have to hear it in December.

So, what game do we have today? Well, we have FOUR games. Well, two
game. No, it's four. Or is it two? It's hard to say. But however you
count it, --thanks to certain people in this thread whom we shall not
mention by name being extremely foolish in how they spend their
money-- the end result is that we have four keys for the two different
titles.

[This won't be the last time this happens. Just warning you all.]

So I'm not sure how many games this counts as, but I'm giving them all
away anyway.

* Hocus Pocus
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358290/Hocus_Pocus/
I told you, we're starting slow this year. Sure, it's a
30 year old platformer that was only of middling quality
when it was released, but it's not a terrible game... 3D2GE
especially if you enjoy that era of game. It's got a cute
charm to it, and the gameplay itself is fairly solid, if
a bit lacking in originality. Grab it, play it for an CCRJH
hour, then shove it to the back of your library, with 5AT5R
another hour of your life gone forever. Isn't that
what the holidays are all about?

But wait: there's more:

* Major Stryker
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358300/Major_Stryker/
Apogee was big in the 90s. They were the ones who BCD9Z
published all the early Id Software games --including
Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D-- and this gave P4AN9
them clout far beyond what you'd expect. "Major Stryker"
wasn't a ground-breaking game --it's a fairly ordinary
shoot-em-up-- but it was pretty good for PCs in the PBZ2Z
early 90s. It's still got a bit of charm to it, even if
it hasn't aged quite as well as other games in their
catalog.

Can you guess what the next game is going to be?

Some old-timey classics for an old-timey gaming forum. It seems
appropriate.

Anyway, I got to get back and wrangle me some llamas before they hurt
themselves coughing up a camelid carol. (You don't want to know the
specifics; there's a lot of phlegm involved.)

Ho-ho-ho!

More platformers for Ant if he gets here quickly enough. :)

Good thing I didn't miss any good free games since I had a BUSY CyberMonday! It ain't over yet.

Oh, I can fake marketing schmaltz pretty well (see how well I do
promoting games I actually like!). Where I really fail at is in sales.
Convincing people to buy something they know they don't need just
isn't in me.

I've had several jobs which I quit after just a few days. Sales was
one of them. "You don't want to buy and I don't want to sell" doesn't
make the employers happy (and doesn't bring much in commissions either
;-)

Sadly, I'd probably last longer in marketing. Not very long, as I
don't think I'd be very good (ads are best if they're quick and
snappy, while I tend to expound endlessly on a subject) but that's
more being saved by a failure in ability than any moral superiority
;-)
