A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Released by ININ and Mobius, the Over Horizon X Steel Empire compilation is a quality collection of shooters released with an appealing price point. The timing is a little odd, considering that Steel Empire was recently re-released as a standalone download on Switch, making this newly bundled version a better value with the inclusion of […]
Super R.C. Pro-Am is the Gameboy sequel to the NES original. This handheld version has one key feature over the NES version – multiplayer! It also supports the 4-player adapter.
RPM: Road Punk Mayhem is a vertical shooter that doesn’t hold your hand, never shows mercy, and forces players to get good. The learning curve and difficulty factor are steep, but you’ll love every second of it while asking for more. Built around a hard rocking post-apocalyptic visual theme, RPM never takes its foot off […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Thief Simulator 2 on PC. Along the way we steal a bunch of random household items, sell them at the pawn store for mega profit, and get tazed by the po-po.
Pocket Reversi for the Neogeo Pocket Color is classic Othello and has a 2-player link cable vs mode. But Dr. Reversi forgot to include a Hot Seat multiplayer option so you’ll need to link 2 copies to play head-to-head against a human.
ININ and Taito have re-released Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III on Xbox, Playstation, and Switch, originally released on PC Engine in 1991. This is a worthy sequel to Bubble Bobble right down to the single screen co-op based kill’em-all gameplay. Instead of playing as little bubble-spitting dragons, players take control of the […]
Pac-Man on Gameboy is probably easy to dismiss. Been there, done that… right? While the single player is straightforward and expected, the 2-player link cable mode is actually the best part of this handheld port. See this multiplayer mode here.
Bouncy Chicken is sort of like Pong meets Billiards only with low production values and frustrating, not-that-much-fun gameplay. The goal is to shoot a chicken on a non-scrolling single screen stage to bump into all the pieces of corn on the board. The chicken can ricochet off walls and moving objects, essentially making the chicken […]
Tetris DX shipped on a black Gameboy cartridge. Black cartridge games are compatible with original DMG Gameboy consoles (Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket), the Super Gameboy, and the Gameboy Color (as well as Gameboy Advance and GBA SP). Uniquely, when Tetris DX is played specifically on a Gameboy Color, there are 3 tech demo-like animations that will […]
The 4th Cyber Citizen Shockman game to be re-released over the last year or so, Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is the most playable and enjoyable. Originally released on Super Famicom, Shinyuden and Ratalaika once again translated this Japan-exclusive title and released it on modern platforms at an affordable price. They deserve a lot of credit […]
