Ads from the Past 433: Red Alert (PC Engine )

This game looks more technical and falls into the RPG genre for the most part. It is quite difficult for non-Japanese speaking gamers to actually get into it therefore the following for it is small.

Retro Game of the Week 164: Skyroads (PC)

This week we have a classic released in 1993. It's a very simple game called Skyroads which involves a ship which you need to guide through a road but don't fall out of the road, you will die. A very simple game, yet so much fun. So many levels were build for this game and with different types of difficulty. Gotta love it. The sound effects are also pure PC magic. I recommend this game mainly for its simplicity. If you have an old PC lying around, fire this one up. You will definitely find it fun at least for a little bit. The best part is that you can get this game for free online. Which reminds me, I'm going to have a library of DOS games on my blog soon enough. 
Till next week!

Ads from the Past 430: Ondyne (PC Engine)

This is a very fun shoot 'em up that was released for both the PC Engine and Turbo Grafx. I'm actually surprised this was release in the USA because of the lack of games in the Grafx library. Nevertheless, this is a fun game regardless which console you play it on. Shoot 'em up cutesy fun!

Retro Game of the Week 163: Gun Smoke (Arcade)

If you want a challenge, Gun Smoke is definitely the game for you. Starting the game, you will realize that you will have to spam three main buttons in order to defeat all the bad guys around you. One button shoots to the left, the other to the middle, and the other one to the right. You also have to move along and dodge bullets because one shot and you're dead unless you're on a horse, then your horse can take the shots. The game can get insanely difficult insanely quick! It'll take lots of practice in order to get far in the game. I believe there are ten stages but I could be wrong. I've only managed to make it to the second stage. I shall keep practicing!
