A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
X-Men: Mutant Academy is a lousy Gameboy Color fighting game that features a 2-player link cable head-to-head mode. There are two modes available. VS is the standard 1-v-1 match whereas Battle is a 3-on-3 fight only without tagging. Two secret fighters can also be unlocked by entering their respective codes on the main menu but […]
Originally released on Xbox earlier this year, CarGo! is fun, comical party game about delivering packages from single screen landscapes. Most enjoyable when played in co-op, this isometric driving game has more in common with cooking games like Overcooked. Everything mentioned in my XSX CarGo! article stands true with this Playstation version except swap Achievements […]
Sweet Paws: Cozy Offices is another low-cost, easy-going, pleasant digital download by EastAsiaSoft. Using the analog stick as a mouse pointer, the goal is simple – click on all cats hidden throughout isometric environments. Even though the gameplay couldn’t be any more straightforward, there isn’t even any animation, it isn’t without some low-stress challenge. Each […]
Super B-Daman: Battle Phoenix 64 (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with Super B-Daman: Fighting Phoenix on Gameboy. The marbles unlocked in the GB game can be uploaded to the N64 version. These marble can unlock cosmetic changes, like modifying the color/picture/tune of the menu screens, or can buff the player during the shooting gallery stages. […]
Previously released on PS4, Switch, and Steam, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World, a remake of the 1994 Mega Drive original, is now available on PS5, XSX, and PC via the MS Store. A kingdom is in peril, and it is up to you to free four spirits and defeat the invader. Sure, the troupes […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 Stormy Knights has nothing in common with the shooter gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol.1 other than it is another low-cost digital download. Playing as knight rescuing princesses, it is your job to walk to the right and defeat every enemy you encounter in a one-on-one battle, like two […]
Released by ININ and Tozai Games, IREM Collection Volume 3 is their latest retro compilation composed of neglected shooters. Similar to IREM Collection Volume 1 and IREM Collection Volume 2, this third edition features quirky, forgotten arcade and console ports outfitted with the same quality emulation options and overall interface. The three included fantasy-based shmups […]
Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver on Gameboy Color (there was also a more robust PC version) features a 2-player link cable mode. Unfortunately, this 1-v-1 racer is limiting, boring, and you don’t even need to play it to win. Simply holding “A” without using the d-pad provides the best results and a password must be […]
Published by Flynn’s Arcade, Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden is the latest new, retro-style arcade release from their enthusiastic library of digital downloads. This time, the inspiration comes from a mix of Donkey Kong 3 mixed slightly with Buster Bros. and Snow Bros. Perhaps the oddest part of this co-op action platformer […]
The Japanese version of Transformers: Beast Wars Metals 64 is Transfer Pak compatible with Kettou Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Senshi Saikyou Ketteisen, another Japan-exclusive Gameboy Color counterpart. When connected, the Megatron X skin becomes unlocked. Also, if any other GB cart is inserted upon boot up, a bonus perk might be awarded to the player […]
