Those that know Hotel Mario were probably introduced to it from the bizarre cutscenes that play throughout the game. These cutscenes are pretty infamous and have been floating around YouTube for quite some time. Hotel Mario has a lot more to it than weird cutscenes though. Its actually a really unique puzzle platformer. Before we get started, how did this game even come about? A … Continue reading Hotel Mario is Actually Good
Hello all and welcome back to another Hyp3rblue’s Top Lists. Last month I spoke about some SNES games I used to own and how a few that I’m looking to add back to my collection have really gone up in price. I was both a SNES and a Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) kid. Luckily for me, I never sold my Genesis games. It’s probably … Continue reading Prices are Still Rising for these Sega Genesis Games
A little disclaimer before we start. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not a religious type at all. However, I do find religious games to be very interesting, mostly because they’re very peculiar at times. Whether it’s the knockoff baby blue cartridges for the NES or the equally bizarre Super Noah’s Ark 3D, I’m intrigued by the fact that games like this … Continue reading CD-i Spotlight: Moses: The Exodus
You ever own a game in your youth but you sold it to buy something else? I sure did. I had roughly 100 SNES games and I sold them all for PS1 and PS2 games. Back then, I got decent prices for some of my games but nothing compared to what they’re worth today. Here’s an example of what I mean: I bought a new … Continue reading Top 10 Expensive SNES Games I Used to Own
Today I want to talk about bizarre DOS games. I didn’t actually own a computer until I was in my teens, so the DOS generation passed me by. In fact, most computer games did. Admittedly, there are tons of bizarre games out there, not just in DOS, but DOS games did provide a certain unintentional humor. That being said, here are 10 bizarre DOS that … Continue reading 10 Bizarre DOS Games That You Need to Try
Welcome to the CD-i Spotlight. This is a series where I’m going to give the spotlight to some CD-i games in my collection and show off the system in general. My intention isn’t necessarily to convince you that the CD-i is the greatest system of all time but instead to show you that it isn’t as bad as you may think it is. The CD-i … Continue reading CD-i Spotlight – Paint Schools 1 & 2
I, admittedly, haven’t played too many games that came out in the past decade. Life has a way of keeping me busy so a lot of titles slip by. But, there are still a lot of titles that come to mind that describes the cream of the crop, for me, from the past decade. I did my best to go through the list of games … Continue reading Hyp3rblue’s Top 11 Games of the 2010s
Back in the pre-internet days, parents were faced with hard decisions when it came to purchasing video games for their kids. There was nothing that really spoke to the quality of the games that were for sale so I feel like I often gave my parents a hard time when they purchased a game that sounded cool but ended up being a dud. Fast forward … Continue reading Professional Farmer: American Dream. Making Farmville Look Like the Best Farming Game Ever.
Action platformers are favorite genre of mine. Ever since the days of Portal, I’ve always sought out these games as they typically provide 2 things: challenging puzzles that make you think outside the box and a fun narrative. The Girl with the Robot is no different as it is heavy on puzzles and essentially provides a co-op experience for single player. The Girl with the … Continue reading The Girl and the Robot – A Pretty Fun Platformer
Looking for a horror game to give you a scare this coming Halloween? Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle is a pretty solid choice to fill that void. Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle is a first person Point-and-Click horror game that relies very heavily on a scary atmosphere and environment. It was developed by Shadow Tor Studios and published by Iceberg Interactive … Continue reading Let Barrow Hill fill your Horror Void
Alright everyone, I got a request from a few people to let them know where to a) find the DOS version of The Town With No Name and b) what I did to get it to work properly. I mentioned in my Town With No Name Review and Psycho Killer reviews (shameless plug) that these 2 games from Delta 4 take a bit of knowhow … Continue reading How to Install the Town with No Name (DOSBOX)
First person puzzle platformers aren’t a genre of video games that is widely discussed. At least not that I hear. That doesn’t mean that they are not on the market but, to me, they seem to be few and far between. I’ve noticed that every first person puzzle platformer tends to have a theme since Portal came out. In Superliminal’s case, perception is reality, and … Continue reading Superliminal – A Mind-Bending Experience
