Do you remember the aura that Shadowrun on Super Nintendo had? That grungy, dark, something is going to kill me at any moment feeling? Pixel Noir has that in spade along with a healthy dose of the classic film genre styling to smooth things over. This Kickstarter success from 2015 continues development as proven in the […]

Retro Gaming Sales Going Right Now (Multiplatform)
January 21st, 2017 Carl Williams Retro gaming fans are often left out in the cold when it comes to sales. Not many companies are willing to lower the price of their digital re-releases lower than what is often an already low price. Sometimes, though, we see a few hit the market for a short period of time with a much […]

DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours Add Two New DLC packs and Playstation 4 Physical Release Announced
September 18th, 2016 Carl Williams Side scrolling shooters were once the cream of the crop. Man, I remember playing Gaiares, Thunder Force III and IV etc on the Sega Genesis and loving it. Back in the day I was pretty good at side scrolling shooters- today not so much. I call it age rot or whatever but I still give […]

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 […]

Curses ‘N Chaos to Remind Gamers of Classic Arcade Days on Playstation 4 and PS Vita
August 16th, 2015 Carl Williams The glory days of arcade gaming are all but forgotten now as an even younger generation of gamers (one that has no memory of life before the Internet) is taking charge in gaming. There are still a few of us left that remember dropping quarters into the latest SNK title (may I mention prior to […]

Today in Retro Gaming: Duke Nukem 3D (Shareware)
April 24th, 2015 Michael Crisman “Damn! Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!” With those words, 3D Realms laid into the FPS genre with gusto. Bringing Apogee’s 2D side-scrolling, planet-saving hero into the third dimension to compete with the likes of Doom was no easy task considering the whole internet was ablaze with talk of iD […]

New Game: Gekido the Playstation Classic Coming to Modern Touch Devices
October 22nd, 2014 Carl Williams Gekido: Urban Fighters was a brawler from way back in the 32-Bit era (it hit the Playstation in 2000). Due to when it was released, Gekido didn’t exactly enjoy stellar sales. The original Gekido was a Streets of Rage style brawler where you took on multiple enemies in a 3D environment (think Fighting Force but […]

New Game: Nibbler Version 1.2 Released for iOS, Playstation Portable and PS Vita
July 24th, 2014 Carl Williams Nibbler is, at its base, a Snake style game. For those not familiar with Snake games, the idea is pretty simple yet challenging and can be addictive. As you move your snake around the level, he will eat fruits and such, with each piece eaten, your snake will grow (usually one new link/section). The challenge […]
