A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Doug’s Nightmare is an oddly creative but super repetitive $6 digital download. Playing as a banana with anxiety, gameplay takes place from a top-down perspective with twin-stick shooter controls. Think Smash T.V. but without fun, excitement, and purpose. Not that this twin stick shooter is without personality, it is just pointless. Why are you playing […]
Digital Eclipse, recently known for their Atari 50, Karateka, and Llamasoft Gold Master Series, has once again re-released another old game within a modern, elegant format. Wizardry, originally released in the early 80s, is one of those series that gained a cult following over many years. Personally, my experience with this groundbreaking series is very […]
All-Star Baseball 2004 has a pointless Gamecube-to-GBA linking feature.Cards unlocked in the GBA version can be uploaded into the Gamecube version. However, I couldn’t get a single card to unlock in the GBA version after playing through literally every mode in the game. Plus, all hits in the GBA version only fly directly straight over […]
Awesome Pea 3 is the final, single-screen precision platformer that costs $5. While it has the most production values out of the trilogy, the wildly swinging difficulty factor will have you exclaiming four letter words you didn’t know existed. I couldn’t stream my play time of Awesome Pea 3 because it would have been banned […]
Ratalaika Games has been re-releasing old games to the pleasure of retro fans with the latest being the forgotten third game in the Shockman series. Originally released exclusively in Japan for the PC Engine CD, Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: A Princess from Another World is another side scrolling action platformer akin to the previous games […]
Nintendo bundled the original GBA Wireless Adapter with Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green in the mid-2000s. Surprisingly, they went through the hassle of developing a wireless adapter for the Gameboy Micro but was only available to purchase through Nintendo’s website at the time.
Sonic The Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure (1999) features two multiplayer modes through a link cable. First is a simple race to the finish whereas the other tasks the player with collecting a certain amount of rings before the other player. Unfortunately, the single player levels are reused for the multiplayer mode and only the stages that […]
Maximum Entertainment and Abiding Bridge released Sclash, an easy to play but difficult to master 2D samurai 1-v-1 fighting game. The gimmick revolves around tension and split-second decision making as each bout is loaded with drama as death comes from a single strike. Visually, the hand-drawn Japanese calligraphy art-style is impressive and carries weight. Instead […]
Dakar 2: The World’s Ultimate Rally (2003) might be a forgettable, niche racing game on Nintendo Gamecube but it packs a special GBA connectivity feature. By playing through the Gamecube game, players are rewarded with downloadable Time Trial tracks for their GBAs. Essentially, the Gameboy Advance version is a demake of the 3D original! Amazing!
Originally released on Dreamcast, Rainbow Cotton is now easily accessible on all modern platforms thanks to ININ and Success. As a point of reference, Panorama Cotton, Cotton 100%, Cotton Fantasy: Superlative Night Dreams, and Cotton Reboot have all been re-released over the last couple years. Personally, I welcome the revival of this cult franchise. To […]
