Live stream ideas?

Hi friends,

A few people have reached out about an idea I've been toying with this week. Actually, a few days ago I finished filming a "Longplay" episode of Elite, which I'll get out to supporters on early-access tiers this week. As there's no "ending" to Elite, in the video I mentioned the possibility of continuing that savegame with some online live gaming. But that would be next week, after it goes public on Saturday.

So what about this week? If you are spending more time at home, would you like to join me for some live gaming? If so, what sort of games?

YouTube Gaming is a great platform (it's just the regular YouTube app) and I'm all set up for it.

Another idea we're developing is "Ladyfractic Plays..." retro games on her Switch. We recently got the SNES controllers for it, and an SNES style decal wrap for the main unit. Many SNES games are available on Switch Online, but she'd probably start with Impossible Mission which has been ported and updated, but can flick back to 8-Bit Graphics mid game, so that's kinda fun as another idea. "Ladyfractic Plays: Impossible Mission on Switch"?

Other ideas would be a longplay of an adventure game, like I did with Hibernated. Any suggestions of classic adventures we could play, with you guys helping me in the comments with suggestions? I'd love something space themed! Perhaps you could have the walkthrough or hints open to help guide us along in the comments.

I'd love to know your thoughts on all this.

Either way, I'm here for you and want to keep the retro fun and childhood nostalgic happiness going for us all :-)

Your friend in retro, Perifractic

P.S. Let me know what sort of times work best, in PST (Pacific Standard Time). Often I'd aim for 11:00am PST which would be 18:00pm in the UK right now.
