Review #1256 – Pac-Man Double Feature (Atari 7800)
Finally, Pac-Man comes to Atari 7800… officially, at least.
Also features a bit of the new Atari 2600+ Pac-Man edition with wireless joystick. Tommy Talarico must be mortified.
Review #1255 – Crossbow (Atari 7800)
Cross the bow… wait, that doesn’t sound right.
Review #1254 – Basketbrawl (Atari 7800)
Try not to take this personally, Mike.
Review #1253 – Space Attack (Atari 2600)
By your command… oh wait, we can’t use that. Universal will sue…
Review #1252 – Video Pinball (Atari 2600)
A vintage pinball game that is perhaps a bit too vintage… bring in the pitchforks.
Review #1251 – Sky Diver (Atari 2600)
Atari Month begins with the oldest game on our list… hopefully.
Review #1250 – Hell’s Kitchen: The Game: Le Jeu (Wii)
You would think that a Gordon Ramsay-endorsed video game with voice bytes from the man himself would be an exciting proposition… but alas, it turned out to NOT be the case. As such, rather than being treated as something with pomp, circumstance, pyro, ballyhoo, and whatever hyper hyperbole terms you wish to apply, this is just the usual video review effort that every other game gets.
In other words, keep your expectations exceedingly low and you’ll be fine… much like today’s subject matter, strangely enough.
Actually, I’m glad I held off on the Tuesday upload because a recent session of play actually highlighted a couple more points that were added just before the rendering process. The end result was something that turned a subpar seven minute review into a slightly more par ten minute review.
Review #1249 – Chronicles Of The Wolf (Switch)
In any reality other than the one depicted in this game, the French would have surrendered ages ago. Yes, I’m still making these jokes in 2025. And yes, they’re still relevant.
On a side note, I recently discovered that the people behind this game also made that Wallachia: Reign Of Dracula game I picked up ages ago. I considered giving that go for the week, but decided I needed more time than I already had, so I’m saving it for another time. Maybe next year, I guess…
So yeah, it’s a day late, so I’m not making you wait until 12:30 p.m. You can have this early.
Gordo, on the other hand, demands that you wait.
Review #1248 – Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi (Switch)
Bela Lugosi’s first official video game appearance… emphasis on the word “appearance.”
