A slew of old-school favorites lead this week's downloading charge.
For those who don't know and are dedicated retro arcade gamers, there is a new video game streaming service called Antstream.
Now, this is not just a emulation gaming site. The developers have created challenges and tournaments where you can compete with people around the world.
The 1990s were a time where mech-suit manga and television shows were starting to filter into the United States. The result was that we got a boatload of cool mech games like Metal Warriors.
Still love the Power Rangers games but most of these underrated games cost an arm and a leg to buy unless you kept them around when they released.
yeah I had to resort to an everdrive cart for my Analogue Super NT because some game prices are just ridiculous.
Sparkster. Like Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis neither game seems to be brought up much. I played both game a whole lot growing up.
Wow, would you look at that? A game list with some actual forgotten gems. Color me impressed.
Good stuff. 👍
I cannot praise EVO The Search for Eden enough. This game deserves a remake as it’s one of the wildest platformer JRPGs ever made. The concept of spending XP on evolving and devolving on the fly to navigate the world was really interesting. Evolution in games is rarely tackled creatively but EVO nailed it.
This was one of my favorite games during the 16-Bit era. Me and my cousin rented it not knowing what it was and ended up finishing it. Still, to this day, one of the most unique games I've ever played. Very addictive too.
This game is truly tops. 👍
Unfortunately, not all the best games are accessible today for a whole host of reasons:
- The title is too rare or expensive to find today
- The translated version of the game never made it to U.S. or the version that came along sucked
- A good or fun game was overlooked in its time and deserves some spotlight
