A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Pac-Man on Game Gear is basically the exact same game as the original Gameboy version but with color. The best part about this arcade classic is the 2-player multiplayer link cable mode… the mode you never played for yourself. Instead of simply aiming for a high score like in the single player mode, any ghosts […]
Heroes Battle Awakening is a firmly winking nod to Plants Vs Zombies as it follows its tower defense gameplay almost exactly yet simplified. Five lanes. Tile based. A new tower or enemy type is introduced at every stage. Comical tone. It is a budget, straightforward, tower defense title that mostly achieves its goals. This TD […]
The Game Gear version of Bubble Bobble has special feature most handheld iterations lack – two player co-op support through the use of the link cable. The co-op mode is the preferred way to play this iconic game but having a partner let’s you steamroll most stages thanks to the small level design. The music […]
Hextreme Void is a such a simple concept, it is a wonder why a game like this wasn’t released years ago. Mixing the brick breaking gameplay of Arkanoid with the leveling mechanics of a Survivors clone, this single player experience is entirely passive but still is oddly satisfying while it lasts. Other than selecting which […]
Sequel to 2020’s Milo’s Quest (and not to be confused with Fluffy Milo), Milo’s Dream is a wholesome top-down Zelda-lite that can be completed in two hours. Playing as a pupper, it is your job to journey through one interconnected map composed of four biomes. Starting only with a dash attack, Milo will eventually gain […]
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 […]
