Tonight I'm back on Twitch (9 PM CET) for another French soirèe, this time we're bringing the heavy hitters with Ubi Soft's B.A.T. (and possibly its sequel too), plus other minor titles from the company.
Come check out the goodness on "thegenesistemple", link in next tweet.

Inspired by the comics of the same name, The Quest for the Time-Bird is a 1989 Infogrames adventure featuring truly beautiful artwork. Embark on a quest to save the land by finding and asking the mythological bird for more time, so a spell to trap the evil again can be completed.
Tonight I'm back for some more French Twitch shenanigans. I will 100% play more ERE Informatique's Crash Garrett on Atari ST cause I love its weird design narrative. It also talks at you in weird Speak & Spell fashion.
See you at 9 PM CET on "thegenesistemple".
