Summer of arcade is upon us again, last week we had Limbo and this week we have Hydro Thunder (both 1200 points). Next week we get Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
There is more Ron Gilbert madness this week with co-op RPG Death Spank making its way to live (1200 points). Deadliest Warriors is also out for 800 points.
This week brings us the much anticipated release of Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s Revenge Special Edition. The game is a classic will set you back 800 points.
Just one game today. Ufouria: The Saga, is a Metroid style game from Sunsoft on the Nes (500 points). We would love to tell you more but Retro 101 has to admit to not having encountered this title before.
With Wimbledon almost upon us we are treated to Mario Tennis (N64, 1000 points), this week. It’s a great game and the best Mario tennis game by far.
It’s a quiet week this week with Mario Galaxy 2 out but Final Fantasy II (SNES, 900 points), has made its way to the virtual console. This is actually FF IV but was the second game to be released in the US.
Earth Work Jim returns to the gaming world today with a special edition on Live Arcade. At 800 points it has to be worth a look for platform game fans.
It has been a long time coming but today is the day that Doom II makes its way on to live. It’s still a classic and should be picked up by just about everybody.
We get one very average game this week Ghoul Patrol (SNES, 800 points), is the disappointing follow up to the excellent Zombies Ate my Neigbours. Download the original instead.
We aim to cover everything from Amstrad to Vectrex, Virtual console to Xbox Live Arcade, as well as new takes on old franchises.
