A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Inside the thoughts of Sir SquallSnake.
This week, Gillman and I increase our bust size by playing some Seven Pirates H, a new RPG by EastAsiaSoft ($40). It is rather ridiculous but sort of refreshing to play a traditional turn-based RPG… even if the premise is over-the-top. At least they don’t shy away from their source materials, leaning into the theme […]
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. […]
Little Nemo: The Slumberland Hero is a new, original Gameboy Color (GBC) game released in 2022. This demo of this GBC ROM was made available today. Learn more using the link below. Really cool this cartoon/NES game is getting a sequel, even if it is unofficial. https://pearacidic.itch.io/little-nemo-the-slumberland-hero
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 […]
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! […]
The Last Friend is an interesting take on classic tower defense. It is sort of like Plants Vs Zombie meets the brawler-ness of something like Final Fight or Streets of Rage. Oh yeah, and puppies. There are plenty of puppies!
Bubble Bobble Old & New features a single-pak link multiplayer mode for 2 players but only features the first 12 stages. Once level 12 is completed, the game auto-loops back to level 1. Although the number of stages is limited, the full Bubble Bobble experience is here including the same play control and that super […]
Bomberman Tournament has one of the best single-pak multi-boot modes on the system. It is so feature rich and packed with quality, this could easily pass as a multi-cart link mode. This is a full fledged Bomberman game for up to 4 players by only needing one cartridge. Revenge Mode. Fishing Mode. 8 playable zones […]
This week, me and Gillman try some Stranger of Paradise and wonder how/why this game was made. Who asked for this? So strange.
