A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by EastAsiaSoft for five bucks, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a simple top-down racing game that is nothing more than occasionally flicking the analog stick left and right while fighting the loose controls and questionable AI. This single-player digital download doesn’t have any features, or even a gimmick, making it unfortunately forgettable. Using […]
Shantae Advance: RIsky Revolution was originally targeting a mid-2000s release but was sadly canceled during development. However, thanks to the efforts of the original developer, Wayforward, and Limited Run Games, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution was completed and released on a physical cartridge. A digital version will also be released on current gen consoles. As if […]
Another low cost published by EastAsiaSoft, Moe Waifu H Push-Box is a short, simple, and very straightforward, but unfortunately, boring Sokoban game. Outside of the easy 30-minute Platinum trophy, there is little entertainment and replay value. The 15 stages do not offer much of a challenge; I beat all except for two on my first […]
Released for $6, Final Zone is the latest retro re-release to be given new life thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ratalaika and Shinyuden. This forgotten isometric Genesis title is a flawed but interesting low cost download that curious players might want to wishlist. Taking control of a walking battle mech, gameplay is basically a […]
Published by PLAYISM, CATO: Butter Cat is a brilliantly fun 2D platformer now available on Switch and PS5. With 200 levels, mini games, secrets, and boss battles, there is a lot of toast-jumping in this $11.99 digital download. The gimmick behind this stupidly cute platformer stems from the merging of two unlikely characters. The cat […]
When certain Neogeo Pocket COLOR games are inserted into a non-color Neogeo Pocket system, developers sometimes included secret error message screens. SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium takes it a step further by not only including several error screens, but one in particular gives the player hidden instructions on how to view a […]
I’ve teamed up with Poggers, makers of natural energy, sleep, and hydration products, to provide you with a discount code. My personal fave is the green apple hydration mix. I have not tried the Rocket Pop but thought it looked pretty good. Simply use this link: https://poggerslifestyle.com/SQUALLSNAKE Or enter promo code “SQUALLSNAKE” at checkout to […]
Loony Toons: Marvin Strikes Back has three link cable multiplayer mini games: Simon Says, Rock/Paper/Scissors, and a Fallguys-clone. These games are pretty awful, have low presentation values, and do not even have sound or music. Which makes me think they were tacked on right before the game shipped or the devs ran out of time […]
Blazing Trail is an isometric action shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $12.99. Playing as a tank, it is your job to save hostages, run over enemy soldiers, destroy watch towers, and even shoot down aircrafts through a retro pixel art visual presentation. On paper, it lists the checkboxes you would want for a retro-style action […]
Originally released on PC and mobile in 2024, Please, Touch the Artwork 2 is now available on Switch and acts as a worthy continuation in comparison to the puzzle-heavy nature of the original. Playing as a dandy, suit-wearing skeleton, gameplay is similar to Where’s Waldo where you need identify certain objects hidden within each panel […]
