beatemup fans: My missus is away for 24 hours and I want to watch some cheesy action movies that evoke the game genre. I am not well versed in this regard. What do you recommend?

Have you checked out my beat ‘em up book yet? 👀 It covers 40 years of the genre across 200+ games, including Streets of Rage, Final Fight, TMNT, Double Dragon and more!

Very happy to be able to play this Under Defeat on PC! Have great memories with it and this bomb must be the most satisfying in #shmups. Just look at that explosion and smoke effect!

Managing to get games pretty well, and connecting with a few combos in matches. And having a lot of fun along the way. Long way to go, but it's a start. #uni2

UNDER DEFEAT finally released on Steam! A great helicopter shmup by G.REV for arcades and Sega Dreamcast originally from 2005 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/2869510/...

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

Under Night In-Birth 2 feels something special. Having a blast learning Waldstein - a grappler/zoner hybrid should be illegal 😅 Long way to go but having a lot of fun #Waldstein #uni2

I think I'm going to try learn Under Night In-Birth again, it's undoubtedly the best fighter of this generation imo. #uni2

Watched Sonic the Hedgehog 2 today and thought it was very good. Makes me want to pick up Origins and go through the original games again.

Been revisiting Blazing Chrome this week and it has been so much fun. The chopper entering is very cool. My GOG review: "One of the best run n guns out there. Plays very much like Contra, but is also its own thing. Killer graphics, music. presentation & gameplay. Can't go wrong. Buy it!"

D-Tag's sober dance combo can get you out of a pinch if you find yourself surrounded. While it's quite flashy it hits slowly so place your attacks wisely. #BeatEmUp #DeadlyMetropolis #DTag #Abryt

The amount of bullets in Gunvein took me by surprise! I don't how I managed to dodge through at times 😅 Amazing shmup with very cool mechanics.

Picked up #shmup Gunvein in the Winter sale and my first reaction was, wait I know this music!? Then I remembered I bought it a year ago on @bandcamp.com and listened to it for a month straight 😅
