Retro gaming fans are cut from a different cloth, aren’t they? A game not made for a platform you want to play it on? For most of us that is a big “get over it” but for some retro gaming fans that have the skills to program, it is an opportunity. Even if there was […]

Battle Princess Madelyn Reignites Ghouls n Ghosts Feel
December 17th, 2018 
Carl Williams It is not that often that I get to write about a new game like Battle Princess Madelyn. More often then not, these newer games “inspired” by a classic title opt for “8-bit graphics” instead of going for anything resembling an improvement over their inspiration (at least graphically). For the most part, this is not […]

Capcom Bringing Four Arcade Classics to Mobile
March 5th, 2017 Carl Williams Retro gaming fans must be understanding. Sometimes companies get things right when porting older games to newer platforms. Sometimes they royally screw up the conversion. Sadly, this is the case with Capcom’s most recent attempts at porting a classic franchise to mobile. Recently Capcom re-released Mega Man one through six on Android and well, to […]

Battle Princess Madelyn Working Through Steam Greenlight
February 23rd, 2017 Carl Williams Okay, there is a lot of fanfare about Battle Princess Madelyn, and for good reason. Many compare it to Ghouls ‘n Ghosts by Capcom, and that is also for good reason. This game is full of action and deadly creatures waiting to end your game early. Oh yeah, this one may be heading to that […]

The Fifteen Most Difficult Genesis Games (That Are Not Battletoads)
September 7th, 2016 Michael Crisman Last year we held a combination shouting match/kumite among the staff to determine the fifteen hardest NES games, discounting Battletoads. In the end, two things happened. First, you all made it the most-read, most-shared column we’ve ever published–you rock! Second, the local hospital told us if we pulled a stunt like that again, they would ‘accidentally’ […]

5 Indie Titles Prove 2D Still Lives
November 30th, 2015 Carl Williams 2D is a rarer and rarer occurrence, especially on consoles. That is saddening for a retro gaming fan like myself as I grew up playing the greats. Super Mario Bros 1/2 (site link)/3 (site link)/World/Land, Mega Man series, Castlevania (site link) etc. Even the obscure ones like Shockman (Turbo Grafx-16), Popful Mail (Sega CD), even […]

Volgarr the Viking Ported to Sega Dreamcast, Released for Free with Permission
September 27th, 2015 Carl Williams Volgarr the Viking is a newer 2D side scrolling action adventure for Microsoft’s Xbox and Steam, well it was released almost a year ago but that is still newer than Rygar or Ghouls n Ghosts, right? I mention those two classics because it is quite clear that Volgarr the Viking is taking, at least, visual […]

Curses ‘N Chaos Review, See How the Windows Version Stands Up to Heritage
August 18th, 2015 Carl Williams Before I start this review, I have to be clear that Curses ‘N Chaos is not a Ghouls ‘n Ghosts ripoff in any way. Sure, both use pixels to convey their charms and a few enemies are shared between the games but that is about the end of the similarities. Curses ‘N Chaos is quite […]

Maldita Castilla is Coming to Sega Genesis and Mega Drive
July 5th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, Ghouls n Ghosts sits alone in that style of game for the Sega Genesis, Mega Drive everywhere outside of North America. That is not stopping developer Locomalito from bringing his, wholly, original title, Maldita Castilla to the Sega Genesis. Maldita Castilla is already available for Windows computers and is freeware (review coming soon). This […]

New Game: The Waste Land Brings Ghouls n Ghosts Bosses to Castlevania Looking Metroid Styled Levels
November 14th, 2014 Carl Williams Okay, that title is a little all over the place but bear with me on this one. The Waste Land is representative of all of those titles with a possible bit of 8 Eyes mixed in for good measure- the design combination is very hard to pin down. Based on T.S. Eliot’s poem, The Waste […]
