As revealed in the latest Argos catalogue, budget publisher System 3 is about to release a range of £9.99 code-in-a-box Switch titles. An unlikely source if ever there was.
GamesRadar - Christmas is great. As a result, a lot of people like it. But, as is the case with everything a lot of people like, there are folk out there more than ready to capitalise on its popularity with Distinctly Less Than Great products. Despite modern games not lending themselves too well to seasonal theming, history is littered with fairly stinking releases designed to cash in on the finest reindeer and snowman-based holiday of all. The '80s and '90s, with their quick development turnarounds and cheap publishing costs, were a particularly dark period.
Speaking of bowling games, am I the only one who wishes that they would make a new Flintstones bowling like they had on PS1. I had a ton of fun on that game.
Elf Bowling was AWESOME!
If you got it just right, smashed the ball into the gutter on the left/right, it would jump up over the gutter and kill the penguins/deer or other animals on the side line.
HILARIOUS!
GamesAsylum looks back at the 16-bit Classic James Pond: Robocod
An article looking over the achievments and influence of Epyx, Inc., creators of Impossible Mission, Jumpman, California Games, Summer Games, and the beloved Atari Lynx. Includes information on the digital resurgence of their games on the Wii, XBLA, and PSN.
Whoa, California Games was ill... I played it on NES when I was like 9yrs. old(20+yrs. ago!) Me & my babysitters son tried to do flips on the bmx course & hit seagulls with the hackysack LMAO. I didn't have the instruction manual so figuring out what the heck the buttons were doing was half the fun! Oh yea, watching the bmx guy eat dirt for no apparent reason sucked but was hilarious! I made that poor guy crash nasty about a million times! Good ol' days of summer...
Loved these games back on the Amiga. System 3 need to release a C64 pack with Last Ninja and Myth too.
I do wonder how these games hold up today. I loved Robocod when it first came out, but help me that feels like a past lifetime, it’s been so long. The Amiga days were great.
