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.

Not to be confused with Arkanoid or single player Pong, Alien Breakout is a simple precision platformer about an alien making an escape from a science lab.

The main gimmick comes from the excellent […]

Everything mentioned in my XSX CarGo! article stands true with this Playstation version except swap Achievements […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft, Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 Stormy Knights has nothing in common with the shooter gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol.1 other than it is another low-cost digital download.
