A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Inside the thoughts of Sir SquallSnake.
A quality and inexpensive compilation, Konami’s GBA arcade cart features a Single-Pak multiplayer option from 4 of the 6 included games: Frogger, Time Pilot, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, and Rush’n Attack. Although the load times are a little longer, each game plays well and features quality, bite-sized fun. Whether working together in Rush’n Attack, doing the […]
Army Men: Turf Wars on GBA flew under the radar because the Army Men series was over saturated in the market at the time. Two years later, this exact same game engine, right down to the menu interface, was reused to create A Sound Of Thunder, a licensed movie tie-in that really should have never […]
Disney’s Tarzan by Digital Eclipse shipped with RUMBLE PAK functionality programmed into the game but shipped in a standard cartridge. It is assumed the RUMBLE cart was pulled during development due to higher cost to produce cartridges with the rumble feature. To activate this secret feature you will need a special flash cart and the […]
Instead of collecting rings like in Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2‘s single-pak link multiplayer mode, Sonic Advance 3 tasks the player with finding and holding a Chao. It doesn’t matter how long you hold it, you just need to be one holding it when the 3 minute timer expires to win. This is a […]
Bomberman Max 2 is the follow-up to Bomberman Tournament and the differences between those two games are jarring. Instead of the classic top-down Bomberman, Max 2 features awkward side-scrolling gameplay that just isn’t the same. The Single-Pak link mode is also very limited as there aren’t any options, only one stage, and an odd character […]
Out of all the classic Atari 2600 titles found in this quality compilation cart, 20 of them support multiplayer through the use of a single game pak. And in case you didn’t know, Ice Hockey and Fishing Derby still rock. PRO TIP – remember to hit L+UP to activate the multiplayer function before each game […]
For some reason, there is an Asteroids mini-game Single-Pak link mode found in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Vs Jimmy Negatron on Gameboy Advance. Up to four players can compete in a lousy, never fun multi-boot mode. The music loops much too often and each match takes way too long. You might have more fun […]
2021: Moon Escape is a brand new original Gameboy game released in 2022. I was able to get a preview version of the game straight from the publisher, Incube8 Games, and wanted to test this out. This top-down action RPG is basically Zelda only instead of a sword you have a gun and instead of […]
IndestructoTank! is a port of a classic Flash game (which I never had the chance to play) and is a stupidly fun action high-score getting. This game is a brand new original Gameboy game set for physical and digital release here in 2022. Playing as the car, you need to bounce on aircraft without hitting […]
A few days ago, I collected my 7,000th badge in the free-to-use Nintendo Badge Arcade on 3DS. Previously, I documented what happens when 5,000 and 6,000 badges are earned. The Arcade Bunny actually reveals a secret code word. Not sure what it is used for but perhaps it can be used a sequel..? Also, I […]
