After finishing U.N. Squadron, I wanted to play something I never played before. A short, old school JRPG seemed like a good choice for the next few days, so I chose The Final Fantasy Legend, released in 1989 for the Game Boy. Read More…

I wanted this to be part of the Mini Reviews 1 post to have an SNES game there, but I wasn’t able to finish it in time it’s a hard one. Like the other games in that post, I first played U.N. Squadron when I was a kid, around 8 or so I think. Back then I actually played the original Japanese version, which is called Area 88 (エリア88), which was based on a manga and anime of the same name.

During the holiday break I used my Anbernic RG40XXV to play and finish 3 games I had played during my childhood, each one for a different console. It was a little weird playing them on a crisp LED screen, without the CRT TV blurring - they almost felt like different games than the ones I remembered 😂. Read More…

Lufia & The Fortress of Doom is an old school SNES JRPG. It’s grindy, repetitive, and annoying sometimes, but it’s charming in its simplicity. It’s a 16 bit RPG with an 8 bit soul. Read More…

There are many old games, particularly RPGs, from the 16-bit era that I want to play, or that I started playing when I was a kid and never saw the ending: Lufia 1 & 2, Final Fantasy 6, Phantasy Star II, Shining Force, to cite only a few. Read More…

Monotype is a short philosophical/horror visual novel about a virtual pet that’s made real. I don’t even remember when I put it in my Steam library, but I decided to play it as I’m trying to play more instead of buying more games. Read More…

(post in Portuguese since this is a scam alert aimed at Brazilians) Sou um usuário ávido do Youtube e geralmente nem percebo as propagandas que aparecem no meio da lista de outros vídeos. Porém, nessa semana uma delas me chamou a atenção: 5 azeites de oliva Andorinha por R$89,90? Read More…

By now you know I love indie games, but I have even more consideration when they’re made by my fellow Brazilian compatriots. Brazil isn’t known as a big game making country, but we do have some gems here. I wouldn’t call Minoria a gem, but it’s a nice game overall. Read More…

This is definitely an odd one. I was intrigued by the game’s propsal as a personality test, and the pretty screenshots in the Steam page convinced me to try it. I love weird games so I knew I’d like this one. Read More…
