A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Developed by a small European team, Mouse & Crane is a cooperative puzzle adventure targeting 4–7-year-old players. It is one of those games that a parent can play with their youngster to work together to complete simple tasks; a great starter game especially on Switch. With each player holding a single JoyCon, one player needs […]
It is true. Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Party is a pinball game. However, this title is shortchanging this low-cost digital release. Instead, it almost plays more like a Mario Party mini game compilation because there are so many other things to do other than playing pinball. What this ten-dollar digital download lacks in polish, it overcorrects […]
Kururin Squash is the Gamecube sequel to the two original GBA games and features a Gamecube-to-GBA link feature. To access this GBA link mode, players must first grind the single player campaign to earn 30k gold coins to purchase the link option. Up to four players can compete once unlocked.
Shinyuden and Ratalaika Games deserve credit and recognition as they have been on a hot streak of re-releasing forgotten retro games on modern consoles. Available for the first time in the West, their latest release is another Masaya classic called Bike Daisuki! Hashiriya Kon, better known as Rider’s Spirits, a 16-bit Super Famicom original. As […]
Playing as a mask wearing sentient robot, the narrative begins innocently. While casually venturing through some ancient ruins, a legendary sword claims you as its wielder, tasking you with being the savior of the land. Astor: Blade of the Monolith doesn’t waste any time and almost immediately throws the player into the quest, which is […]
Baseball Stars Color is a quality little baseball title for the Neogeo Pocket Color. It is actually made better when playing against another human in the 2-player link cable mode as the AI can be unfair at times.
Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is another simple, low-cost, single-screened platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. The goal is to reach the exit in each of the 50 stages but there is a gimmick in completing each stage – you need to die. This is a puzzle platformer. Meaning, players need to figure out how to reach […]
The Gamecube version of FIFA 2004 has two GBA link options: one that connects with the FIFA 2004 GBA version, and another that links with an empty GBA. Connecting an empty GBA installs a pointless scoreboard on the GBA screen and unlocks 3 cheats in the Gamecube game. By playing the GBA game, points earned […]
Pocket Tennis Color is the only tennis game for the Neogeo Pocket Color and it isn’t terrible but also isn’t super exciting; it is perfectly fine. However, playing with a friend using a link cable is a much better experience than playing against the AI. Too bad it is limited to singles matches and no […]
When you connect the GBA version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 to the Gamecube version, things get unlocked and transferred. But is it worth suffering through the all analog-stick/d-pad control scheme..?
