A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Catmaze is much more of a Metroid-like as opposed to Castlevania since you do not gain experience points with each kill. There is a large, interconnected map that progressively becomes fully explorable as the playable witch gains new abilities but there are few elements that hold back the experience. A highlight is the story and […]
In 1990, Balloon Kid released on the American Gameboy, sequel to Balloon Fight (NES/Arcade). A decade later, Japan received an exclusive enhanced edition of Balloon Kid called Balloon Fight GB for Gameboy Color in 2000. This handheld sequel features a 2-player link cable VS Mode. Unlike the original release, players now have the ability to […]
Playing as a penguin armed with a squirt gun, it is your job to platform your way through each of the tiny levels to collect three keys, unlock the stage-ending treasure chest, and defeat simple bad guys along the way. It is a very simple, very basic, highly approachable action platformer that is perfect for […]
Bomberman Quest’s 2-player link cable multiplayer mode has some restrictions – it is 1v1 only due to the hardware limitations, and players must unlock items in the single player campaign for use in the multiplayer mode. However, for a 2 player top-down deathmatch, it isn’t so bad considering.
Not to be confused with Rickey Henderson of MLB fame, Rick Henderson is a 16-bit horizontal shooter now available on PC and all modern consoles for $7.99. It might have a strange name but the gameplay is rather familiar. The gimmick behind this shmup is the endless gameplay. Not a roguelite, the game just keeps […]
Tennis, along with Baseball and Golf, released as launch window titles for the original Gameboy in 1989. Out of the generically named Nintendo sports title, Tennis, in my opinion, is the best. I provide 2 reasons in my video why 1989 Gameboy Tennis is great and still worth your time today, specially when it comes […]
Dragon Dance, by Natsume and Crave, is an Arkanoid/Pong clone for Nintendo’s Gameboy Color handheld that you probably never played. Besides having creative design (your paddle is a dragon that shrinks with each ball lost and curls when not moving), the 2-player link cable VS Mode is also pretty fun. Like Tetris or any other […]
A simple 2D side-scrolling platformer, Dyna Bomb 2 is a straightforward experience. From the visual presentation to the overall platforming approach, everything is basic at best but can act as a great starter platformer for younger players. There are two gimmicks with Dyna Bomb 2. First is the collect-a-thon nature of the gameplay. Each stage […]
Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto’s Rampage + Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy have two completely different single player games but share the same multiplayer modes. You can also trade cards between both cartridges. Just keep in mind, this isn’t like two version of Pokemon, for comparison. There are a couple different Single-Pak multiboot modes – a […]
The latest game in this multi-game series, Pretty Girls Four Kings Solitaire puts a small spin on classic Solitaire gameplay but from the same overall UI and feature set than its previous titles. Despite what the title might suggestion, this is a very tame PS4 game. In fact, it can probably be rated PG if […]
