A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Boulder Dash EX features a Single-Pak multiboot mode for up to 4 players. Gameplay is pretty chaotic as the screen rotates every few seconds, causing everything to tumble to that side. The goal is to collect more gems than your opponents but if you get squished by a falling rock, you’ll lose everything you earned. […]
Originally released on Switch last summer, I praised Ayo The Clown for being a pleasant little 2.5D platformer with tons to collect and abilities to upgrade. This Xbox port is essentially the same game although it looks a little sharper than the Switch version and of course has Achievements. Everything I mentioned in my Switch […]

An action platformer made with stop-motion clay visuals, Floogen has an eye-catching style. Unfortunately, the troublesome gameplay doesn’t match the unique presentation. Playing as a blob that likes to collect watermelon, the ultimate goal to essentially get to the other side of the stage. Along the way are tons of annoying enemies to whack, hazards […]
Kwik Snax was released for the ZX Spectrum in 1990 by CodeMasters and has a totally killer intro that goes so hard. It goes so hard it might be the best video game intro of all time! Seriously, give this a listen and watch to the end (the programmers had to time the moveset of […]

Robo Wars is a very simple 2-player arena battler with lower production values but has a sense of progression that is more enjoyable than you would assume. It might look like a Flash game but try not to let that distract you too much. Playing as a generic robot, it is your job to defeat […]
Incube8 Game is set to release GUNSHIP, a brand new original Gameboy game in 2022. They were nice enough to send me a preview ROM so I can check out the gameplay and happy to report this is a pretty fun game. You control a cursor on screen and need to shoot incoming enemies. When […]
The Single-Pak link multi-boot mode found in Blender Bros., a forgotten platformer, isn’t the most entertaining but it is one of the most surprising because it has 3 modes, one of them being a Mario Kart clone. How/why was a Mode7-style racing game included in a platfomer featuring long eared bunny creatures? So many questions! […]
