A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
To be fair, Virtual Kasparov isn’t bad, it is just as plain as you can get when it comes to Chess, especially with its Single-Pak link multiplayer mode. Without any options or quality of life features (the game doesn’t have an indicator when the King is in Check), players might want to check out Ubisoft’s […]
Gillman and I tried something a little different this week as we test Fluids & Sounds, a mind relaxing tool. This isn’t really a game since there is no objective but instead the player can easily create motion-based art through a wealth of options. In other words, this is a glorified interactive screensaver, which shouldn’t […]
Advance Wars was one of the first GBA titles to make a quality effort with the Single-Pak functionality. Honestly, players are probably better off playing the VS Mode (pass the console to your opponent when your turn is over) than this multi-boot mode but it does feature 3 unique maps. There is no stage select […]
Disney’s Magical Quest on GBA is a port of the SNES game and has an included Single-Pak link mode for 2 players. There are a total of four multi-boot games: Normal Battle, Wizard Battle, Firefighter Battle, and Climber Battle. Climber Battle is the most challenging as using the grapple hook is cool but takes skill. […]
The Pokemon EON Ticket, once scanned with a Nintendo e-Reader and connected with Ruby or Sapphire through a link cable, provides access to an exclusive in-game island where rare Pokemon can be captured. This ticket can be used to travel to the Southern Island where LATIAS and LATIOS await. They also carry SOUL DEW which […]
Shrek Hassle at the Castle is easily described as a poor man’s classic Mario Bros. clone. Using one game pak, up to four players can mug each other and whoever has the highest score when the 99 seconds expire, a winner is declared. The controls are laggy, there is only one stage, no options, ducking […]
Star Fox Adventures on Nintendo Gamecube originally launched in 2002 and had a rather interesting pre-order incentive when purchasing the game through Circuit City. There was a also a pretty sweet bobblehead available through Target, which I also highlight in my video below:
A Sound Of Thunder is based on a film that completely flopped but somehow managed to get a GBA release. Surprisingly, this isometric shooter is rather impressive for a GBA game especially when it comes to the Single-Pak multiboot multiplayer mode. With 7 stages available for up to 4 players, there is a lot here. […]
Godzilla: Domination features a multiplayer smackdown for up to 4 players with the use of a single cartridge. This game’s Single-Pak link mode is rather limited but the music isn’t bad, load times are short, and can offer some mindless, short-lived fun. This game was also developed by Wayforward.
Rayman 3’s Single-Pak multiplayer mode is limiting but doesn’t really have any connection to the main single player campaign. This 2-player mode has players controlling a spaceship, using the face buttons to boost and shoot, and the first to five hits wins.
