{% ragamepic 7698, 085606, SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab %} |
{% rauserpic ElectricAngel %} |
{% rauserpic Layton %} |
1/10/2025 |
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, having come out at the end of the GBA's life cycle, is a bit of a hidden gem. It stands apart from other SpongeBob games as it's not purely a platformer: it's got beat-em-up, racing, flying, and shooter sections. In typical WayForward fashion, the game features unrivaled sprite work and tons of love in the presentation of the game. This set includes a fun mix of challenges sprinkled throughout level sections and encourages exploration with unlocking and playing all the mini-games. So channel your inner sponge: "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!"

{% ragamepic 2437, 005589, Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III %} |
{% rauserpic quirky0992 %} |
{% rauserpic Layton %} |
1/21/2025 |
Sure, the Game Boy version of Parasol Stars may seem tough at first, but with just a little bit of practice, it becomes a satisfying and rewarding challenge. Released only in Europe, this obscure port adapts the colorful original well, keeping the core mechanics intact while fitting the action perfectly onto the smaller screen. Do you have what it takes to master this set, filled with progression, bonus items, and boss-specific challenges that push players to master each fight? Give it a try if you like single-screen platform games with a fair learning curve.

{% ragamepic 30491, 102795, Gladius %} |
{% rauserpic BigDonRob %} |
{% rauserpic authorblues %} |
1/29/2025 |
Gladius is a surprisingly intricate Tactical RPG, with a balance of strategy and real-time action (by way of QTEs), requiring both clever and deft gameplay. This set is designed with two playthroughs in mind, both to feature both character's stories as well as allow people to use and enjoy the Critical Meter on a playthrough before challenging the game without the augmented damage and accuracy it gives, making a "meterless" run much more difficult and emphasizing the tactical aspects of the combat. Are you ready to build the greatest gladiator school in and around Imperia?

1/30/2025 |
If you’re a fan of classic run-and-gun action, Heavy Barrel is calling your name. This retro gem throws you into the thick of it, from blasting through waves of tanks and choppers to assembling the ultimate weapon—the Heavy Barrel itself. Whether you’re aiming to clear all six stages, rack up a massive high score, or pull off the ultimate flex of taking down the final boss with the Heavy Barrel, there’s no shortage of challenges to keep you hooked. And don’t forget the thrill of stacking up extra lives or chasing that perfect run without continuing. It’s a chaotic, adrenaline-pumping ride that’s as rewarding as it is tough. So gear up, lock in, and see if you’ve got what it takes to conquer this classic.
