Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded (Switch) Review
Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded revives two retro baseball simulators of yesteryear thanks to the efforts of Rock It Games. Bundling Bases Loaded (NES, 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES, 1992), despite my…
Dino Land (XSX) Review
Originally released on Sega Genesis, Dino Land is a forgotten pinball game re-released by the dedicated team at Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden. For those not aware, Ratalaika has been re-releasing many 16-bit…

Red Pippy (XSX) Review
Published by Ratalaika Games, Red Pippy is an endearing little 8-bit platformer about a bird learning to fly. This one-hour, casual romp doesn’t have much replay value but the low-cost, low stress,…
Neon Inferno (XSX) Review
Retroware and Zenovia Interactive’s Neon Inferno is a striking run-and-gun shooter seeped in brooding mood, it is loaded with action, and has a deep, memorable tone. While the personality and visuals are…
