A game I didn’t discover until 2018, does it hold up to the classics I enjoyed as a kid? Developer Description Who has Mach-6 speed, helabad weapons, and a love for wastin’ dweebs in tanks? You do. It’s the gnarliest fighter-bomber game ever. So hot it feels like a coin-op. Why? Two-mega power means we […]
Let’s take a look at one of my favourite games of the 80’s, and one of the stand-out titles for Sega’s Master System console.
As the type of gamer that has traditionally attached himself to the types of games that test your patience and perseverance, I feel as if I’m in a special position to speak about this title. I have played many marble rolling and time trial games in the past, and this is one of the few […]
Similar to a lot of Konami games of the NES era, Jackal is truly better when you play with a friend. It’s a great pick-up-and-play game, that anyone can have fun with. Developer Description Your brothers-in-arms are hostages behind enemy lines, and you’re their only hope for freedom. But the firepower you’ll face to rescue […]
Slain: Back From Hell isn’t a retro game. It’s too pretty to be retro. Developer Description You control the fate of Bathoryn, a doomed hero in a Gothic world, who seeks to liberate six cursed realms from six deadly overlords. He must battle his way through this blighted land, packed with gruesome pixel art foes […]
Developer Description The galaxy is in deep peril: foul creatures from the evil Bydo Empire have warped across space to invade and conquer our planet! There is only one hope for victory. The Earth Defense League has chosen you to pilot R-9, a nuclear-powered space fighter that can cut through invading aliens faster than a […]
My memory of Brute Force from when I originally played it in 2003 was hazy at best. I remembered that it was a 3rd person shooter, and that’s about it. I picked up the game some time in 2003 when I was gaming frequently on the original Xbox, and I just got around to finally […]
To say that the original game “The Great Giana Sisters” has a cult following would be an understatement. Originally released in 1987 for the Commodore 64, and later ported to many other platforms including Amiga, Atari ST & DOS. The trouble lies in the fact that the game shared all-too-many similarities with Nintendo’s own Super […]
Robocraft is currently in an alpha state, so anything said here is likely to change in time. Like a double cheeseburger with bacon and hot sauce, Robocraft is a game of instant gratification or crippling regret. Which of the two you experience is as much about how well you build your robot, as it is […]
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is set in the same world, and with much of the same characters as A Link To The Past (LttP) of SNES fame. As my favourite Zelda game of all time, it’s no surprise that I was excited to see Nintendo finally make a proper sequel. LttP captured my heart […]
