A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES

The Galloping Ghost (GG) Arcade in Brookfield, IL is home to the largest arcade in the world. With nearly 900 arcade games available to play, all set to free-play, it is easy to spend hours in this very cool space. Since each game is on free-play, it is encouraged to experiment with all the available […]
Top Rank Tennis on Gameboy, a 1993 release, has a surprisingly awesome intro – dancing man ass! These tennis players were twerking before twerking was even a thing. The intro cut out around the 8 and a half minute mark otherwise I would have recorded and posted like an hour of this. However, you get […]
Metal Gear Solid (also called Metal Gear Solid Ghost Babel in other territories) is the best game on Nintendo’s Gameboy Color (GBC). It has an awesome campaign, mixes the 2D MSX games with the 3D gameplay elements of later titles, and is just an awesome demake of Metal Gear Solid (PSOne). Players were also treated […]
Mixing the gameboard of Bingo with Tetris pieces, Tringo might be one of the best sleeper hit puzzle games you never played. The Single-Pak link multiplayer mode up to four player is also really fun. Seriously! I know the screenshots and this video might not make it look like it is anything special but I […]
Sega’s GBA port of the Dreamcast’s ChuChu Rocket! has one of the best Single-Pak multi-boot modes on GBA. Loaded with features, this is one chaotic multiplayer experience all from the use of a single cartridge. Loading this game only takes about 2 seconds, there are tons of options available, and you can even play on […]
For a $13 game made by one dude, this is a fun, detailed game that Gillman highly enjoys. I had zero knowledge of this game and Gillman suggested we stream it and I am glad we did. This game was released in Spring 2022.
Dr. Mario & Puzzle League doesn’t have a real time single-pak multiplayer mode. Instead, a downloadable trial demo version of either Dr. Mario or Puzzle League can be sent to an open GBA and played until the power turns off. Dr. Mario is like the NES version but with updated visuals and less music options […]
The top-down grid-based gameplay of Zapper: One Wicked Cricket on GBA features 5 different gameplay modes but they are basically just variants of one another. Zipper Soccer and Mega Zipper Soccer are the same only with more bug balls and the other modes are different types of death match options. Zapper is another forgotten mascot […]
American Bass Challenge has a Single-Pak link mode for four players but the gameplay is limited and uneventful. From an unchanging position, the player must cast a line and hope the one fish in the pond bites. There is no indicator regarding the location of this one fish or how to reel it in if […]
Racing quirky toy cars in real life environments. Mario Kart-like weapons. Multiple vehicle types including 4x4s, boats and bikes. And simple top-down gameplay. Man, Micro Machines should have been awesome. Instead, players must compete against wicked load times including needing to restart all connected GBAs if a new track wants to be played. The AI […]
