Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug, kids… but sometimes, it can also suck ass. As much of a time killer as this was back in the day, this is one of those games that simply do not hold up. And I don’t even think it’s that bad of a game… up to a point.

Review #1348 – DuckTales Remastered (PC)
Honestly wasn’t going to do this one, but hey, I had it on Steam and I’ve been on a bit of a DuckTales kick (for better or worse) and I figured… why not? A couple musical changes were needed here and there, but other than that, I thought this turned out quite well.
Kind of a odd thing in getting around to this one, listening to these tenured voice actors providing vocals for their iconic characters for what would turn out to be one of their last performances before their passing.
Review #1339 – Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers: The Adventures In Nimnul’s Castle (MS-DOS)
The thought occurred to me… sure, why not? What’s the worst that can happen besides good ol’ JR suing a puppy? It’s better than being generated by A1 Sauce.
Full playthrough will be posted on the Extra Bits tomorrow… fun times, ya?
Review #1315 – Text Wormhole (PC)
Have you ever bought one of those Humble Bundle deals where you have a bunch of games that they try to dangle in front of you if you were to go for the highest possible price point to get the whole bundle and along with the big draws, you have a bunch of random stuff that wouldn’t attract a fly towards it even if it tried its damndest?
Text Wormhole is one of those games. Either that, or it’s another I got on the cheap to spend the last of my Steam bucks. This review has been sitting on the backburner for a LONG time and is probably the oldest video of the bunch. So naturally, it fits the theme of PC afterthoughts.
I promise that next week’s review output will showcase more interesting titles… but not THAT much more.
Review #1314 – Flower (PC)
The formerly Playstation-3 exclusive downloadable title that would hit the PC Master Race a decade later… I got it on the cheap. I figured, “Sure, why not?” An interesting title, if nothing else, but that’s all I’ll say here.
Review #1313 – Girls Like Robots (PC)
Some lightweight PC fare this week. Stuff you normally wouldn’t be playing if you had better options on hand, but I needed simple stuff to fill the void that isn’t just old Atari games that nobody even remotely remembers or care about… not that this is any better, mind you.
Girls Like Robots is not what I would call shovelware. It’s just not something that I would normally play, but I did get it either for cheap or as part of a bundle and I figured, “Sure, why not?”
We have another one of those on Friday, by the way. Please look forward to that.
Review #1222 – Tetris 1986 (MS-DOS) – Take 2
Had this one in the can, so let’s pull it out; a look at an updated version of the original MS-DOS version of Tetris that includes a Phantom Mode that makes square pieces invisible because in Soviet Russia, Line Clears You… or something. Played off Tetris Forever because I wouldn’t have known about this release otherwise.
Oh yes, it’s another Tetris review… meh.
Review #1221 – POD Gold (PC)
Podracing before podracing was cool… waiting for the eventual comment to come tell me that podracing was never cool.
Review #1150 – BlockOut (MS-DOS)
The other side of the 3D Tetris War that doesn’t exist or something… I don’t know.
Review #1147 – Welltris (MS-DOS)
Sure, it’s another Tetris-related vid, but aren’t you at least glad you’re not getting another 480p review?
