Original arcade Pac Man is the one old arcade "score attack" game I generally think of myself as "bad at." It's game with really deterministic patterns so technically I could probably become an expert by looking up a guide and memorizing all the stuff about how the ghost monsters move/react to player behavior, but for the time being I seem to be ( Read more... )

I think "get good" has some merit, but only to a point. The phrase basically assumes that if you practice and and spend more time with a game, you'll naturally get better ( Read more... )

Well, I was gonna hold off on gobbling up more cheap downloadable games for a month and a half after my last couple purchases, but I decided to squeeze in one last game for a while. At first I was concerned that Namco Museum was overpriced, but eleven arcade games for a price that would normally get you three on the Switch isn't a bad deal ( Read more... )

I haven't played "Ninja Kid" a lot yet but it's pretty simple and fun.

Been messing around with Megaman 7 a bit lately. It's a little weird going back to it because I'm more familiar as a source of art for sprite comics than as an actual game.

Brawlout is a pretty decent furry Switch Smash clone, and I gotta give it props for basically making one of the cast members the goddess Bastet. My only real gripe is that the unlock system takes too long, forcing you to exploit glitches to get everything in a decent amount of time ( Read more... )

Have a pretty good Switch library by now, mostly because of cheap eshop games. Great for parties. Probably not going to buy a lot of physical cartridges til I get a suitable job, but probably gonna buy Hyrule Warriors in a couple of months ( Read more... )
