A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Speedball 2 is essentially NFL Blitz meets soccer only the players use their hands and slide tackles are encouraged. The frame rate isn’t great and the lack of a radar is misleading, but it isn’t the worst Single-Pak linkable experience on GBA even if there are no gameplay options available.
Guntech 2 is a free-roaming shooter shmup that incorporates twin-stick controls, 4-player co-op, and plenty to upgrade. Best played in short bursts, this shooter offers quality, mindless fun despite a few painstaking flaws that hold back the experience. Using both sticks to aim and shoot is wonderful, and I am amazed more shooters do not […]
OmegaBot is an action platformer that offers a straightforward retro-style run-and-gun experience. It plays sort of like Mega Man only with linear stages but has the kickback gunplay of something like Cave Story. It is a simple 2D side-scroller, one that I appreciate because it isn’t another frustrating random roguelite You play as a robot […]
Qubyte Games has made a name for themselves over the last couple years by porting several 8 and 16-bit titles to modern platforms within compilations. Radical Rex is their latest port, bundling both the SNES and Gameboy versions into one digital release. The Sega CD and Genesis also received versions of Radical Rex but those […]
This week, we streamed some Tactics Ogre Reborn. After listening to me praise this game for years (I sank so many hours in the PS1/PSP versions), Gillman decided to pick it up when it was on sale for $35. So as Gillman played through this early level, I pretty much talk about this game for […]
A labor of love that took a small indie developer years to create, Chained Echoes is a confident digital download that takes the best elements of 16-bit RPGs and merges them wonderfully with modern quality of life features. This is a title that shouldn’t be overlooked especially if you cut your teeth on SNES RPGs. […]
This week, me and Gillman played a couple stages in Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch. I played the free demo that is on the eShop and really enjoyed it. This is definitely a game on my “will buy” list as soon as I either find the time or there is a sale, which […]
The final Bomberman title on Gameboy Advance put a bigger focus on the single player offering this time around by including numerous, creative spins on classic Bomberman gameplay that almost plays like a Mario Party title. However, the 1-cartridge multiplayer mode is still pretty fun. There is no mini game between matches this time around […]
Another ridiculous simulation title, Castle Renovator is basically Gas Station Simulator except without as much polish, and basically repurposed Train Station Renovation. This time, players are tasked with cleaning, maintaining, and reconstructing castles and their immediate surrounding environments. Before getting to the cool castles though, you’ll need to spend your time picking up virtual garbage, […]
The Analogue Pocket does NOT have a built-in rumble motor to support force feedback gameplay. However, thanks to the latest GB/GBC/GBA FPGA cores, the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak can be inserted into the Analogue Pocket cartridge slot to produce force feedback when played with compatible Gameboy games from the SD card! This video explains how […]
