A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally released in 1984 for early computers of the time, Boulder Dash is a series that has endured the test of time. In fact, Boulder Dash saw a 30th Anniversary compilation in 2020 and then a Deluxe Edition a year later. Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary is more or less an expansion pack of the Deluxe […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Faye Falling is an unconventional RPG. Although the maze-heavy puzzle solving and odd set pieces might not be for everyone, this is an adventure fans of Earthbound and Undertale might want to wishlist. Playing as a recently deceased soul without a memory, you are put in charge of stopping a growing darkness […]
Airforce Delta on Gameboy Color is an on-rails action flying game by Konami, features a 2-player link cable versus mode.

The main gimmick comes from the excellent […]
PD Ultraman Battle 64 is a Japan-exclusive N64 game that makes use of the Transfer Pak. By connecting any GB cartridge, players can unlock a monster similar to the CD swapping feature in Monster Rancher on the PSOne. Unfortunately, after trying many GB carts, I was only able to generate the same green slug and […]

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.
