Blaster Master: Enemy Below is a perfect example of what happens when something becomes popular, so something else shamelessly copies it. It has little of the appeal or quality of the game it so faithfully reproduces; Metroid, and is a generic romp that is only going to appeal to the…
Read MoreLock ‘n Chase is a good example of the kind of cheap game experiences that go down well on the Game Boy Virtual Console. As a clone plus more of Pac-Man, this is cheaper than Pac-Man’s Game Boy outing, and manages to be a more interesting core game to boot.…
