Thirteen1 - Been wondering what the Ouya looks like in action? Wonder no more. Today, indie dev Orange Pixel has released a trailer for their popular iOS/Android/Blackberry Expendables-inspired game, "Slugs", played in impressive full multiplayer on the upcoming Ouya console.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
"The Dallas-based (Texas, the US) indie games developer The Retro Room Games are today very happy and proud to announce that their fast-paced run-and-jump game "Gunslugs", is now available for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive via the Retro Room Games online shop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Gunslugs is a very mobile-like action game that has charm but lacks direction. Check out Jason Capp's review for more about this fun little indie game.
meh!
Looks like a bit of fun and a throw back to the days of 8-bit gaming. Given it will be free or only cost a couple of dollars it looks OK.
I hope games for the console will be generally avail on the Play store.
Oh God, I can remember the good old times of playing the same game next to a friend. I've never seen this game before, it seems like good fun.
Looks pretty fun, I want to try it. And with an OUYA (when I get mine) I can for free.
terrible.
@ kennytaur
games won't be free with ouya, hate to break it to you. the demo/trial versions will be (like everywhere else), but you won't get the full version for free.
