Game-bit of the day 836: Don Doko Don (PC-Engine)

This is a game I've been looking for a long time. It sucks I don't have the case for it, so the Hue-card will do. Don Doko Don is just a fun little game at the Bubble Bobble style! I gotta say, it plays best in two players! ...

Finds 1073: Game Players Magazine and Rolling Thunder !

Here are a couple of goodies that arrived recently. The Game Players magazine has a very interesting article of the Super Famicom. This magazine was released before the SNES was around so it's nice to see and feel the world before the SNES was out. The golden era of gaming...

Game-bit of the day 835: All-Star Slamming' D-Ball (PS1)

Agetec brought us some of the weirdest titles out there. This is one of them! Although, if you look closely you will see similarities to the Kunio Dodgeball game. Isn't that something?  ...

Finds 1072: Night Trap for the Playstation 4

Here is a very awesome release by Limited Run Games. The game was quite tough to pick up as everyone went crazy over it. The ultimate remake of Night Trap for the PS4 was released in a special edition that definitely was worth while. The game was pushed for a remake years...

Game-bit of the day 834: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (Xbox)

Two classic Street Fighter games in one? Heck yeah! The best version of each Street Fighter in one disc. Street Fighter 3rd Strike, and Super Street Fighter 2 are in this little gem.  ...

Ads from the past 399: Pac-land and Burger Time

This is a bizarre ad by Namcot for their ports of arcade classics suck as Burger Time and Pac-Land. I'm not sure what to think of it. You be the judge!  ...

Finds 1071: Tiger Road, Famicom Controllers, and Limited Run Games!

More goodies! This time around, I picked up Tiger Road for the Turbo Grafx. The game is quite tough and a head ache as you will be dying a lot. Just like any tough old school game, you will need lots of practice before you get over this one. Up next are a couple of Famicom...

Game-bit of the day 833: Capcom Fighting Evolution (PS2)

This is an interesting fighting game although it got criticized because it lacks fighters. I guess it was another attempt at Capcom to promote their different franchises.  ...

Finds 1070: Wonder Boy the Dragon's Trap for PS4 by Limited Run Games

Limited Run Games has done it again! Wonder Boy the Dragon's Trap is another wonderful physical release that we retro gamers were drooling for and finally got. The game was released in limited quantities by Limited Run Games and is essentially a remake of the classic game...

Game-bit of the day 831: Air Diver (Genesis)

An upgraded Top Gun, that's all I can say about this one. It really is! It also has boss fights at the end of each level. Check it out, it can't be that bad.  ...

Ads from the past 398: Final Fight (SFC)

The Final Fight for the SNES and Super Famicom were considered the weaker version in comparison to the Sega CD and Mega CD versions as they were nowhere near close to the arcade version. Either way, it's a beat 'em up and you should be happy with it! ...

Game-bit of the day 830: The Combatribes (SNES)

This is a very hilarious beat 'em up for the SNES. I gotta say Technos, this one fell under my radar till last week. I'm satisfied with this game and I feel it's a hidden gem.  ...

Game-bit of the day 829: Fantastic Dizzy (Genesis)

This is a good take on a platformer in which the main character is actually the mascot of the company. I guess you could say, this is their Mario. Codemasters sure loved Dizzy as he would be in other games as well. This one is solid though...  ...

Ads from the past 397: Powerfull from Mindscape !

A very neat ad from a company that made some decent games. Nothing groundbreaking but there are some interesting ports from arcade classics.  ...

Game-bit of the day 828: Cosmic Spacehead (Genesis)

This is an odd ball game that is actually not bad once you get through the weirdness. I believe there are some games like that out there. Either way, this is one you should try for platforming purposes.  ...

Game-bit of the day 827: Log Jammers (NES)

So Mega Cat Studios has released a couple of new NES games into the market. This is one of them. Definitely worth a playthrough. I was very satisfied by this one. The game plays like a newer version of Pong except they throw each other axes and are balancing themselves on...

Ads from the past 396: Metal Gear (NES)

Metal Gear by Ultra(Konami) is a game that can bother some while others will love it. I don't know exactly why, but I guess the best way to enjoy this game is with a lot of time in your hands, or an strategy guide. Your choice! Gotta love the gear on this add though... ...

Game-bit of the day 826: TMNT 3 (FC)

This is a pretty awesome label art for a bootleg game. It's TMNT 3 but nowhere in the cover art do you see the name of the game. Gotta love it!  ...

Game-bit of the day 825: Talespin (FC)

This is the least liked Disney title for the 8-bit console. I guess because it's a departure of the side scrolling style such as Duck Tales or Darkwing Duck. Either way, I think it's awesome!  ...

Game-bit of the day 824: Goal! (FC)

This is a pretty awesome and classic game for the Famicom/NES. It was all we had to play in soccer style games back in the day! No yearly PES or FIFA during these times.  ...

Ads from the past 395: KB Toys Ad!

Now, take a deep breath and check this ad out! Can you get any more classic than this? This is just beautiful! That NES though, needs to go down in price although if it's sealed then it's totally worth it!  ...

Game-bit of the day 823: Dinosaurs for Hire (Genesis)

A game that plays like Contra but with dinosaurs! Isn't that awesome? I gotta say, it has been hidden away all this time as I've never heard of anyone mention it.  ...
