Ported from the original NES version, Blades of Steel is still a fun, arcadey hockey game even if there are not any options to tweak. Here’s a look at the 2-player link cable vs mode.
This is the ending that triggers when you unlock all stars for all games in Game & Watch Gallery 3 on Gameboy. This music is awesome! Doesn’t get enough credit. And Peach totally makes out with Mario and releases a bunch of hearts and turns beet red.
From Below Pocket is an indie developed puzzle game that has been ported from its NES origins complete with 2-player multiplayer support over a link cable. This is a Tetris clone with a twist; a Kraken’s tentacles push your pieces upward. It is really cool than an indie dev included link cable support. Plus, there […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Tribe: Primitive Builder on PC. Along the way, we build some structures using some obscurely named materials.
Published by Bulletproof Software, the same company that released the original Gameboy version of Tetris, ported Pipe Dream to the Gameboy. Strangely, it features a pretty robust-for-the-time multiplayer mode despite not showcasing the standard Link Pak icon on the front of the box art and not mention anything about multiplayer on the back on the […]
Nacon released the pro Revolution X ($74) and the ColorLight ($40) controllers for Xbox. Here is a quick unboxing video of both controllers (the packaging is so well done, I had trouble opening it).

While some feature simultaneous play (Mario Bros., Clu Clu Land, Balloon Fight, Twin Bee, and SD Gundam World), a few games are alternating (Ghosts’n Goblins, Mappy, Dig-Dug, and Wrecking Crew). So instead of connecting a link cable, 2p hot-seat […]
The Super Gameboy (SGB) was an accessory that allowed original Gameboy (GB) games to be played on a TV through the Super Nintendo. Black cartridge Gameboy games were also supported. Besides having the ability to change colors and borders, here are a few other tidbits of information that I found interesting about the Super Gameboy.
The Game & Watch Gallery series on Gameboy contains a hidden LINK CABLE feature that connects the first three games, unlocking content spread across the trilogy! This is amazing because this creative feature isn’t even mentioned in the instruction manual.
