On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #RamIt, by #Telesys from 1982! In this rare game, you're beating back colorful, musical bars, in a claustrophobic cavalcade of fun! This #puzzler is actually pretty unique. I discuss & rank it, damn it. Just one question... will you be able to ram it? Subscribe,... Continue Reading →

On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #Motocross from 1983, by #German #gamepublisher #Quelle. This is one of those rare Euro games, but also a complete #copycat of #Enduro by #Acivision, which is one of my favorite #Atari 2600 #games of ALL time. How does this #motorcycle #racing game stack up? Can... Continue Reading →

On this episode of #Crank, 5-Minute #Playdate handheld #gamereviews, I take a look at @SaturdayEdition by @WildRose! This is a cool game about John Kornfield, who survived alien abductions 10 years prior. He finds himself in quite a pickle with a series of disappearances that lead him on a trek across the city to unlock... Continue Reading →

In this game, the premise is simple... you're shooting a dude from a cannon into a moveable water tower, which you do or dont have control of depending upon the game variation played.

On this season 2 opener of #Crank, my 5-Minute #Playdate #gamereview series, I tackle #QuestyChess by #Dadako. This came out in the later part of Season 1 for the Playdate #handheld.

On this episode of #Xpresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #Marauder by #Tigervision from 1982. (Yes, the very same #TigerElectronics we've come to love/hate!) This #game is very similar to #Berzerk, but it offers up some extended #gameplay! Does it do enough to justify the lacking graphics? What do YOU think? Subscribe, Like & Comment!...

What do u think about... Continue Reading →

On this episode of #XPresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600#GameReviews, I play #Commando by #Activision in 1983, on the #Atari 2600. In this port of the super popular 1985 arcade game, you're gunning down foes as a commando in the desert. This version is obviously graphically inferior to the popular #NES version. How does it hold up 39... Continue Reading →
