STRATO-SPEAR

Ludum Dare-like events are awesome. We have already featured a game at the very beginning of this little site, but I somehow find myself constantly returning to these sorts of things, looking for stuff to play and see what people can make in a short amount of time. This time around, I've brought in STRATO-SPEAR …

Athena

Girls, amirite? End of article. But seriously, if we take a look at the 80s, playable female protagonists weren't exactly the hottest thing on the market. Most of the time we had shirtless soldiers, vehicles of all sorts, weird things, animals, but rarely did we get to play as these mythical creatures that live Among …

Evil Tonight

First impressions are everything they say and Evil Tonight puts its best foot forward with amazing pixel art backgrounds, sprites and 90s anime inspired character portraits. As soon as you get into the game you’re met with a dark rainy locale setting the mood for this survival horror romp. It’s a shame that beyond this …

Kao the Kangaroo Trilogy

Mascot platformers used to be absolutely massive in the 90s and early 00s. Everyone had to have one. You had a brand that was even a tiniest bit marketable to kids? Put it in a game. You wanted to make a platformer, but didn't have access to Mario or Sonic? No worries, the designers can …

Piczle Puzzle & Watch Collection

Nostalgia for the Game & Watch is at an all time high, with Nintendo making new premium versions to celebrate franchise anniversaries and while I'd rather they remade the originals instead of selling Super Mario Bros. for the nth time, there's at least something to be appreciated about holding a new-old hardware like these in …

Fairune Collection

After Kamiko destroyed the competition on the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2017 and sold 200k copies, Flyhigh Works was quick to announce the next SKIPMORE game to hit the scene and this time around, they'd release both Fairune games as well as some extras on the Nintendo Switch and PC, with a PlayStation 4 port …

Rockman & Rockman X 5 in 1 Special Box

I wouldn't exactly consider Mega Man obscure media, but the collector inside me couldn't help but want to showcase this little box set. While game collections are far from being a new concept, I find them to be a good opportunity to celebrate all that is gaming and the Mega Man Legacy Collections have been …

Rockman 99: Bootleg Heroes

Time to kick off March with a Mega Man themed post! This time around, I have a bootleg game from Makon Soft on the plate. Makon Soft is one of the plethora of late 90s to mid 00s bootleg game companies with not a lot of interesting stuff on their plate. They had their own …

GB Operator

This review was not sponsored by Epilogue We have a bit of a weird one here. Usually Gekai doesn't really do hardware articles, but I felt like this would somewhat fit in with what we do, so here it is. The GB Operator is a tool to back up Game Boy series games, backup/load their …

Hoo boi – Zelle

It’s well known that modern retellings of fairy tales are a lot less dark than their original versions. Kids were just built different back then, I guess, but I’m not here to tell parents what they should or shouldn’t let their kids read/watch, instead I’d say if you miss the macabre fairy tales of old …
