A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Just like the Bases Loaded compilations, Rock It Games has released another Goal! compilation that bundles 8 and 16-bit games into one package. The Jaleco Sports: Goal! Two compilation includes: -Goal! Two (NES, 1989) -Goal! 2 (NES, 1989, Europe version) -Goal! (Famicon, 1989) -Super Goal! 2 (SNES, 1992) Simply put, the 8-bit sequel, Goal! Two, […]
Rock It Games isn’t done with Jaleco yet. Bases Loaded II: Second Season is the sequel compilation featuring a total of five retro sports games although there really are only two games available, just separated by the different regional releases. This compilation includes: So in short, this bundle includes the first 8-bit sequel and 16-bit […]
Developed by the small team at Deprecated Games, Living Dead House is a new, retro-style arcade score chaser that fits firmly within the Flynn’s Arcade library of digital releases. In short, it is another easy-to-recommend $5 retro banger. Gameplay is essentially side-scrolling Pac-Man mixed with some slight Donkey Kong tones. Playing as some dude who […]
Raiden Fighters Remix Collection, by MOSS and H2 Interactive, is a compilation of three beloved vertical shooters: Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet. Then, each title includes both the English and Japanese versions, supports online leaderboards, and some remixed tunes have also been bundled. This sounds like a winning formula, right? Unfortunately, […]
Portrayed as an escape through a stressed-out game developer’s mind, The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is published by the newly revived Acclaim and developed by Elden Pixels of Alwa’s Awakening and Alwa’s Legacy fame. Once again leaning into their retro pixelated visual style, this quest is more concise but still tightly controlled. While the slightly more […]
Jaleco Sports: Goal! follows the same formula as Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded only with two soccer games instead of two baseball titles. Just like the Bases Loaded compilation, I am happy and nostalgic that this bundling of old soccer games exists, but they don’t exactly hold up well today. All the same bells and whistles […]
Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded revives two retro baseball simulators of yesteryear thanks to the efforts of Rock It Games. Bundling Bases Loaded (NES, 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES, 1992), despite my nostalgia, I am glad to see these old games receive new life on modern consoles. Even though these are two titles that I […]
In my 20+ years writing about games I’ve been published digitally and in print, I’ve helped influence and launch countless titles, and had my quotes used for promotion… but I’ve never actually been credited in a game. Until now! AHRO is an experimental, indie game by OEH Interactive with deep lore and no combat. I’m […]
Published by RedDeer.Games and developed by Imphenzia, Unfair Rampage: Knightfall is a 2.5D run-and-gun(ish) action platformer with procedurally generated stages. It is also available on Steam. Instead of running through specifically designed stages in sequential order, the gimmick comes from replaying the same single stage that changes slightly each time. On top of that, the […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Nuclear Gladiators 3000 is another survivors clone but this one is actually pretty good. Now available on Switch and Steam. There is a free demo on Switch too. The overall gameplay remains the same as most survivor titles: auto shoot endless waves of enemies (circle strafe is your friend), grab the currency/XP, […]
