A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
There has been a secret Game Gear mini game hiding in plain sight for over 30 years! Jon the Programmer’s SQUINKY TENNIS can be accessed by holding down the START button as certain Code Masters published Game Gear titles load. However, the official Gear-To-Gear link cable, another Game Gear system, and another compatible Code Masters […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Direction Quad is one of those short burst, trial-and-error type games where the goal is to reach the finish line. In other words, it is another simple, low-cost title that fits firmly into EAS’s extensive library. Direction Quad deserves some recognition for trying something different. From a top-down perspective, the player controls […]
Jelly & Toast is a single screened puzzle platformer published by Ratalaika Games. Like most games in their extensive library, this five-dollar digital download is composed of simple visuals and gameplay built around one refined mechanic. Unlike the asymmetrical platforming of Square Brothers in comparison, the two playable heroes have the same movesets, but this […]
The first Streets of Rage on Sega Game Gear supports multiplayer through the use of the Gear-To-Gear link cable. Playing co-op is definitely the way to play but this brawler still suffers from repetition with stages that continue for way too long. Footage captured using actual Game Gear hardware (modified with HDMI-out), the official Gear-to-Gear […]
Geometry Wars Galaxies on Wii can be linked with Geometry Wars Galaxies on Nintendo DS (both released in 2007). If the handheld version is connected to the console version, the LAMBDA Galaxy gets unlocked. This exclusive galaxy consists of 7 new planets, aka stages, and each one has its own theme and gimmick. Also, the […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by FobTi Interactive, Big Trouble in Little Chimney is a short burst Santa/Christmas theme survivors action title. While it doesn’t have much replay value, this five-dollar digital download offers simple fun while it lasts. Playing as Santa, it is your job to survive against a ten-minute onslaught of goofy […]
Jaleco Sports: Goal! follows the same formula as Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded only with two soccer games instead of two baseball titles. Just like the Bases Loaded compilation, I am happy and nostalgic that this bundling of old soccer games exists, but they don’t exactly hold up well today. All the same bells and whistles […]
Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded revives two retro baseball simulators of yesteryear thanks to the efforts of Rock It Games. Bundling Bases Loaded (NES, 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES, 1992), despite my nostalgia, I am glad to see these old games receive new life on modern consoles. Even though these are two titles that I […]
Originally released on Sega Genesis, Dino Land is a forgotten pinball game re-released by the dedicated team at Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden. For those not aware, Ratalaika has been re-releasing many 16-bit games recently including the Aero games, Scurge Hive, Final Zone, the Cyber Citizen Shockman titles, Rider’s Spirit, Moto Roader, and many more. On […]
Castlevania Judgement (Wii, 2008) can communicate with Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS, 2008). If the DS game connects with the Wii game, two new fighters and two accessories get unlocked. However, Shanoa and Aeon can be unlocked through normal play so DS linkers can simply gain access to them soon. See it here.
