A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Popeye (Gameboy, 1990) is a Japan exclusive maze chaser with an asymmetrical link cable versus mode. One player controls Popeye, who can eat spinach for increased speed and can eat through the hamburger barriers, while the control Brutus, who can release animals to stun Popeye. Whoever wins five rounds, marries Olive Oil, probably against her […]
The King of Ping Pong: MEGAMIX is basically the Punch-Out!! of table tennis. It is essentially a personality-filled fighting game designed around the player’s reaction time as opposed to being a ping pong simulator; this is no Rockstar Table Tennis. The steep difficulty will probably discourage some players but there is no denying the creative […]
From the colorful banner art and quick cutting gameplay trailer, Truck Driving seems like a fun, little haul-based racing game. However, looks can be deceiving as there is no racing, hauling, or fun involved in this short-burst truck driving tech demo of a “game”. Using only the triggers to accelerate/reverse with the analog stick to […]
By watching the trailer, it might be assumed that Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation is another survivors clone, but this is not the case. Instead, this is an arena twin-stick shooter sort of like Smash TV but with a minor twist. Playing as a lone space marine, apparently you need to clear a path of […]
The Transfer Pak was this device that attached to the back of an N64 controller and allowed Gameboy cartridges to link with N64 games. The Transfer Pak was mostly used for Pokemon Stadium, allowing players to import their Gameboy Pokemon into the console title, but there were over a dozen other games that also made […]
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 […]

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 […]
