A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Don’t feel bad if you never heard of Space Adventure Cobra. It was an early 80s anime that barely ran for 30 episodes, and for some reason French publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets decided 2025 was the right time to release a game about an obscurely forgotten Japan cartoon. This game tie-in essentially recreates […]
Road Trip: Arcade Edition (2002) on Nintendo Gamecube (also known as Choro-Q! in Japan) can be linked with Road Trip: Shifting Gears on Gameboy Advance (also known as Choro-Q Advance in Japan). When connected with a GameCube-To-GBA link cable, new content becomes unlocked in both versions. In the GC game, Car99, which is a pumpkin […]
Originally released on Switch just over a year ago, Diamond Hands: To The Moon is a tough as nails precision platformer that is only enjoyed by those that like punishment. Essentially everything I said in my Switch review of Diamond Hands holds true here – link. As a quick comparison, if you ever played Jump […]
Published by Ultimate Games, Mad Skills BMX 2 isn’t your typical racing game. Presented with simple-to-play-but-hard-to-master controls, this bike rider has more in common with ExciteBike’s boosting/tilting mechanic as opposed to the balancing/trick gameplay of Trials. Instead of focusing on accelerating, breaking, power-ups, turning, boosts, or even weapons, Mad Skills BMX 2 simplifies everything by […]
The original Mortal Kombat was ported to pretty much every console and handheld in the early 90s. The Gameboy version, unfortunately, was not a good port as it has a horrible frame rate, reduced character roster, and lame fatalities. However, the GB version of MK has an exclusive feature – playable Goro! By holding Up […]
Originally released in 1984 for early computers of the time, Boulder Dash is a series that has endured the test of time. In fact, Boulder Dash saw a 30th Anniversary compilation in 2020 and then a Deluxe Edition a year later. Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary is more or less an expansion pack of the Deluxe […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Faye Falling is an unconventional RPG. Although the maze-heavy puzzle solving and odd set pieces might not be for everyone, this is an adventure fans of Earthbound and Undertale might want to wishlist. Playing as a recently deceased soul without a memory, you are put in charge of stopping a growing darkness […]
Airforce Delta on Gameboy Color is an on-rails action flying game by Konami, features a 2-player link cable versus mode. There are 3 gameplay modes but they are all weak variants of the last-man-standing Endurance option. Sadly, each player is tasked with shooting enemy planes, not your linked opponent.
Not to be confused with Arkanoid or single player Pong, Alien Breakout is a simple precision platformer about an alien making an escape from a science lab. If you played other EastAsiaSoft published platformers like Mechanita, HatUp, Cattie, Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo, Ratyrinth, and many others, Alien Breakout will feel familiar. Only this time, […]
Ballistic on Gameboy, also known as Puzzle Loop, is a Zuma clone that has a 2-player link cable vs option. Unfortunately, the heavy flicker and lack of options puts a limit on the overall fun factory.
