I’ve been playing a lot of diagonal-isometric games (earthbound, Mario RPG) with a d-pad and it’s been driving me insane trying to walk diagonally. This looks like my salvation.
Great article! I just tried out the ROM hack and that interface is 90’s TO THE X-TREME!!! I got the chance to play it 2 times at my friend’s house growing up and I didn’t remember it being so bold looking. But I guess everything was like that?
So happy to see this game get some love and attention! My kiddos recently pulled it off my shelf and have been playing it (and accidentally overwrote my game 😭). The heavier themes go right over their heads; they just love running around, cleaning up messes, and talking to wacky characters.
@Mattock1987 I’ve got mine in order. They’re really embracing the indie dev scene and sent out about 500 units last year to indie devs. Quite a bit of fun demos have been posted, just wish I could play em.

Glad you’ve got someone working the Playdate beat. It’s such a fun console but I have a hard time keeping up with the indie scene.

Re: Playdate Sells 53,000+ Units, More Than Double Panic's Expectations
@Christopher_Jones The surfing game is honestly the best use of that crank. That game will get you onboard.
Re: Classic Air-Combat Game Terminal Velocity Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch And PC
Oh sweet! I loved this game as a kid but never had the full game. Lots of shareware in my childhood.

My life is better knowing there’s a Sailor Moon beat-em up.

Re: Retro Fan Creates Potential Solution For Costly Nuon Controllers
Wow! And I thought I knew all the weird media/game crossover tech of the late 90s. Missed this one completely.
