TAR pt. 13a: Punching vegetables

Filed Under Competitions, Free, Indie, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment

You might pretend to tolerate it but no-one really likes the number thirteen. I personally shun it wherever physically possible. Thus, today we have part 13a of this epic TAR saga featuring a humble two games. Better to do half a post rather than none at all, eh?

Cripes! We’re onto the third page of Assemblee goodness! I wonder what occurs therein?

(yes, the Shine screenshot is from the TIGSource listing page… I couldn’t make one better )

Hokay, let’s get this show rolling again. My most appreciative thanks for bearing with me during the past two weeks of slacking and panicking (roughly in that order). It’s TAR time once more!

Aside from being a little under the weather this weekend, due to my internet provider being so fantastically naff I actually had to type this post up twice. Pfeh. But you don’t want to know about any of that – let’s get on with the lushness of today’s four Assemblees, three of [...]

A really, really quick post. Just to say:
Last chance to cast your votes for Assemblee part 2! Go for it!

No need for faffing about. You know the routine by now, surely! Here’s another four entries for your inspection…
