It is historical fact that Germany and Japan lost World War II. Ring of Red tells the story of an alternate history where Japan was conquered by both Soviet and American forces. This has led to a North Korea/South Korea situation that is rife with troubles. Seriously, Harry Turtledove could have a field day in […]

Bandit Gaming- Unreleased Salamander HD Remake Android Version Leaked, We Review It
March 10th, 2016 Carl Williams Konami used to make really cool games. Stuff like Gradius, Contra and Salamander to name a few. There were few methodical scrolling shooters that could hold their own against Konami’s best in the genre. Salamander, titled Life Force for North American release, was originally a spin-off of the Gradius series of scrolling shooters. Well, recently, […]

Review- Ninja Savior Brings Mobile Jumping Game to MSX Computer
January 23rd, 2016 Carl Williams There is a trend in homebrew development that involves taking modern ideas and making games for classic platforms. We have seen this most prominently with Bejeweled style games being released on Game Boy Advance and other platforms. With Ninja Savior we see another mobile game style being released for a classic platform. The MSX computer […]

Import Review – Aleste Sega Game Gear
January 6th, 2016 Carl Williams Compile certainly knew how to make a scrolling shooter. They created the Aleste series in Japan. Some their titles were ported over to North America’s Sega Genesis and Sega CD. We got M.U.S.H.A. (who remembers what that stands for?) and we got Robo Aleste here on Sega CD to name a couple. One title that we […]

Dreamcast 2- Only in Your Dreams and Here is Why
December 23rd, 2015 Carl Williams Sega is not working on the Dreamcast 2 console. The headlines that you are reading around the web are on par with the “Coleco is Back” bull crap that RETRO Video Game Systems Inc is trying to hand out. This is a fan project that is only using the press to push your nostalgic love […]

Today in Japan Retro Gaming: D no Shokutaku 2 (Dreamcast)
December 23rd, 2015 Michael Crisman If Die Hard taught us nothing else, terrorists and Christmas make for an instantly-compelling story. It’s no surprise then that Warp’s sequel to their previous two games, Enemy Zero and D no Shokutaku, takes this concept and Japan-ifies it until you can’t help but ask yourself, “What the hell did I just play?” Love him […]

Today in Retro Gaming: Clock Tower 2 (PS1)
December 13th, 2015 Michael Crisman Clock Tower 2, one of the scariest games ever released for 32-bit systems, celebrates its 19th Japanese birthday today in retro gaming history! It’s impossible to explain what this game meant to me when I discovered it completely by accident at a Toys ‘R’ Us in the late 90’s. While Resident Evil made me jump […]

Virtual Fishing on Nintendo Virtual Boy is the last Japanese Exclusive to be translated to English
November 5th, 2015 Carl Williams The Nintendo Virtual Boy was one of Nintendo’s few failures in gaming- it was completely mishandled by the marketing team for one thing, among others. For retrogaming fans that means there is a smaller amount of titles to collect and, ultimately, enjoy. This lack of software makes it easy for completest collector’s to purchase every […]

Retro Freak, 11 Plus Platform Supporting Console, Released
November 2nd, 2015 Carl Williams We have been covering the Retro Freak console for a bit now and can finally say, it is available at Play Asia (and probably other stores). The price is a little steeper than first expected but it is not like what we saw with the RETRO VGS console. The Retro Freak’s price is very much […]

Chojin Heiki Zeroigar for PC-FX Translated by Fans, Choshin What?
August 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Scrolling shooters are a staple of videogames. Don’t believe me, just go look at the catalog of games from the first days of videogames. Asteroids was a shooter, so was Raid on Bungling Bay. Defender- yep. On the NES there were countless titles such as Gradius, Guardian Legend and more. Scrolling shooters in general are […]
