A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Puzzle Link on Neogeo Pocket Color is a fun, little puzzle game.When 2 cartridges are connected with a link cable and the Battle mode is chosen, each player races to destroy their opponent by sending junk pieces after making combos. It is a very approachable puzzle game and is an exclusive to the system.
EA’s SSX 3 has a communication feature between the console and handheld versions. When connected with a GC-to-GBA link cable, players can freely transfer funds back and forth between the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance versions. In other words, if you want to grind the console version to easily max out stats in the GBA version, […]
Flynn’s Arcade, publisher of the excellent new, retro arcade games Donut Dodo and Murtop, has also released Goliath Depot, another excellent, new retro arcade-style platformer. Instead of taking inspiration from classic Donkey Kong, Bomberman, and DigDug, Goliath Depot can sort of be seen as an evolution of Elevator Action. From a single screen, the player […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Arctic Eggs… and, boy, let me tell you, this is a weird game. Disturbing, actually. Watch as we try and make sense of it.
Crush Roller is basically the opposite of Pac-Man. Instead of clearing the maze of dots, you want to fill the maze with paint (like Splatoon). This hidden gem Neogeo Pocket Color game features a 2-player head-to-head vs mode by linking another copy of the game with a link cable.
Doug’s Nightmare is an oddly creative but super repetitive $6 digital download. Playing as a banana with anxiety, gameplay takes place from a top-down perspective with twin-stick shooter controls. Think Smash T.V. but without fun, excitement, and purpose. Not that this twin stick shooter is without personality, it is just pointless. Why are you playing […]
Digital Eclipse, recently known for their Atari 50, Karateka, and Llamasoft Gold Master Series, has once again re-released another old game within a modern, elegant format. Wizardry, originally released in the early 80s, is one of those series that gained a cult following over many years. Personally, my experience with this groundbreaking series is very […]
All-Star Baseball 2004 has a pointless Gamecube-to-GBA linking feature.Cards unlocked in the GBA version can be uploaded into the Gamecube version. However, I couldn’t get a single card to unlock in the GBA version after playing through literally every mode in the game. Plus, all hits in the GBA version only fly directly straight over […]
Awesome Pea 3 is the final, single-screen precision platformer that costs $5. While it has the most production values out of the trilogy, the wildly swinging difficulty factor will have you exclaiming four letter words you didn’t know existed. I couldn’t stream my play time of Awesome Pea 3 because it would have been banned […]
Ratalaika Games has been re-releasing old games to the pleasure of retro fans with the latest being the forgotten third game in the Shockman series. Originally released exclusively in Japan for the PC Engine CD, Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: A Princess from Another World is another side scrolling action platformer akin to the previous games […]
