This week after an enforced break due to work commitments and a bout of Bear Flu, the Retro Bear takes on a voyage of gaming discovery, which will probably run into another couple of columns…..
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
The Drifter puts you in the boots of a man who dies before the opening credits roll, then gets a second chance to uncover why someone wanted him dead. With gritty pixel art and practical detective puzzles, it's less about inventory management and more about staying one step ahead of the people trying to kill you again
Find out if The Amazing Spider-Man vs. Kingpin lives up to its legacy as a must-play for Spider-Man fans everywhere.
I love retro games.
