Published by Ultimate Games, Mad Skills BMX 2 isn’t your typical racing game. Presented with simple-to-play-but-hard-to-master controls, this bike rider has more in common with ExciteBike’s boosting/tilting mechanic as opposed to the balancing/trick gameplay of Trials. Instead of focusing on accelerating, breaking, power-ups, turning, boosts, or even weapons, Mad Skills BMX 2 simplifies everything by […]

If you played other EastAsiaSoft published platformers like Mechanita, HatUp, Cattie, Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo, Ratyrinth, and many others, Alien Breakout will feel familiar. Only this time, […]
Ballistic on Gameboy, also known as Puzzle Loop, is a Zuma clone that has a 2-player link cable vs option. Unfortunately, the heavy flicker and lack of options puts a limit on the overall fun factory.
