“Bonanza Bros. Golden Heist” was submitted on April 14th. Sega’s been very keen to leverage its library of classic games of late, releasing a new Shinobi and lining up sequels for Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio. It also recently launched the ‘Sega Universe’ initiative, which aims to celebrate some surprising deep cuts…
it’s almost certainly not with any sort of affection. A slow, primitive-looking grind of a game with repetitive music and confusing action, Hydlide came across as nothing so much as a terrible clone of The Legend of Zelda when it hit the NES in the spring of 1989. Thanks to its opaque goals, Hydlide certainly…
Developer Paweł Juen Nowak has began porting the challenging Pico8 platformer Celeste to the Commodore Amiga, designed to display using C2P techniques which necessitate a higher-powered processor for smooth gameplay.

If you’ve never heard of Super Mario Kart, then I guess you were living in a cave, as this game series which first appeared in 1992 on the SNES, was one of the most addictive arcade style racing games ever to appear on a TV screen. So to see someone try to create a Mario…
