Metroid to Receive Unofficial Prequel, Rogue Dawn, on Nintendo Entertainment System
May 19th, 2015 Carl Williams To say that Metroid is a big name title for Nintendo is quite the understatement. Metroid, while originally not a system seller, became just that by the time we saw the 16-Bit iteration and even on the Gamecube fans were still extremely interested in the adventures of Samus Aran. Metroid: Rogue Dawn is a game […]

What if there were Fatalities in Smash Bros?
March 29th, 2015 Carl Williams Nintendo has never really been all that keen on the idea of actually killing, I mean completely obviously utterly ending the life of, characters in their games. Sure, in Super Mario Bros and the sequels you dispatch the enemy characters in cartoony ways. Even in the Smash Bros series, a fighting game by Nintendo, they […]

January 25th, 2015 CPC4EVA For 10,000 years he slept. His mind feeding on the nightmares of the weak. Now he has awakened, as the night bled crimson the fireblade shattered and its power died. Then the slaughter began. They never thought he would return. Now HAVOK reigns the under city. I am Hiro, the last of the bladeknights, I […]

New Game- HYPERION to Bring Metroid Style Gaming to the Commodore 64
January 24th, 2015 Carl Williams There is no doubt that Metroid has been a success story for Nintendo over the years. There are only a couple of Nintendo platforms that have not received a Metroid game, one of those platforms was a certified commercial failure and the other struggled against the competition- coincidence? I don’t think so, Metroid is a […]

Game Hack: Castlevania 2 Hacked to Become Pyronaut on Nintendo Entertainment System
December 13th, 2014 Carl Williams We have not covered a lot of new Nintendo Entertainment System games lately so here is a good one to kick things off again. Pyronaut by Optomon, featuring graphics by M-Tee is a 2D side scrolling action shooter in the style of Konami’s Contra which is sort of fitting since the developer is using Castlevania […]

Bandit Gaming: Super Smash Bros Ported to TI-83 Graphing Calculator
November 15th, 2014 Carl Williams What can’t the Texas Instruments TI-83 do? We have seen Mario clones, puzzle games and more on this graphing calculator, and of course math related stuff. Now, we can add an unofficial Super Smash Bros game to the long list of applications you can use on your TI-83, or TI-84, that are not specifically calculator/graphing […]

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 […]

Five Side Scrolling Game Boy Advance Games You Shouldn’t Miss This Holiday Season
November 1st, 2014 Carl Williams Sure, the Game Boy Advance is an older portable and can be had for quite a cheap price now so that makes it the perfect gift for a cash strapped family that have gamers in the house wanting to game on the go.
