Konami just put out a HD collection for one of my favorite games ever, Felix the Cat, for Switch and PlayStation (it's among several for a blog post I almost have done on video games I'm obsessed with).
The new collection includes both the NES and Game Boy versions & allows for saving and rewinding at any time (maybe I'll finally beat it! 🤣)
This'll eventually be a must-grab for me, but I gotta wait for a sale on this one.
Do you like games about Mediterranean plumbers, ever-hungry shape-shifters or barrel-tossing monkeys? Then you might enjoy Sam's Journey on the NES as well! 😃
Sam got himself a Sizzler! 🤩 The British Retro Gamer magazine reviewed Sam's Journey on the NES and awarded it a score of 95%! A huge thanks to the staff! Glad you liked it! 😃
Update on the Sam's Journey Ultimate Edition: The delayed big boxes have finally arrived at poly.play! 🤩 With the puzzle now complete, shipping is planned to start this week.
I realized today that when I lost Twitter, I also lost a lot of the cool indie game devs I was following there (and the updates on their games). And that totally sucks, because I really love to play indie games. Apparently Twitter was my main source for discovering them (sheesh).
Below is a pretty big list of games (with links to them!) that I'm looking forward to. There are SO MANY games on my Steam wishlist that are still being worked on and upcoming (some of these are on itch also, and some have alphas, betas, and demos, I've noted which).
Some of these games are definitely coming later this year, and fingers crossed for maybe full releases of the rest in 2024?
I forget who was curious the other day, but I broke out my physical copy of @platformalist's game Leaving the Tree today and opened it up again. I had totally forgotten how many cool things were packaged with it. There was so much, it was tough to get a pic on my desk! 😂 I'll try to get some gameplay soon - it's even compatible with most Xbox USB controllers.
The rad wood 256MB USB cart in the middle of the photo contains the game and even more of Andrew's (his Eggnog company's) games too- Maze Dog, Coffee Bug, Winterberry, Cat Bandit, Cake Cat, and more.
Incredible, all of it. Lots of stickers and two-sided character profile cards here too. On the other sides of the cards are little descriptions like on the overturned card in the top right.
I love platform games where you have to collect gems and other parts. If the whole thing is well balanced with enemies, level design, etc., it's a real pleasure! A lot of fun!
Do you have any recommendations? Your favorites? :0)
