A new independent title bring single-screen shooting action to the Master System. Frontier Force is a top-down, single-screen twitch shmup that’s great to play when you’ve got the urge to beat the top score. Great presentation and gameplay make this short-but-sweet experience one you’ll want to own, and it’s going to have a physical release!
Reviews
Shellshock
Shellshock may not be groundbreaking, but its simple and entertaining gameplay offers a decent burst of enjoyment for those willing to stick around long enough. It’s a flawed but enjoyable shooter that stands apart from more serious simulation games just enough to make it stand out. If you haven’t played this one yet, give it a chance and see if it grows on you.
Cursed Knight, The
GGS Studio Creation and Broke Studios launched a franchise with The Cursed Knight, a wonderful mix of genres that delivers a solid does of old school gaming. It has charm, great presentation, and that wonderfully frustrating gameplay we all know and love. If you’re looking for a new edition to your Genesis library, look no further.
Monaco GP
Though considered primitive by today’s standards, Monaco GP was a revolutionary title for its time. The SG-1000 port lacks much of the visual flair that made the arcade cabinet version so special, but the gameplay and soul are still there. If you’re looking for a fun racing challenge for your console, then Sega has you covered with this more than decent port.
Swagman
A European exclusive, Swagman presents fun and engaging platforming action that Saturn fans will appreciate. It’s not the best game out there, but it has enough variety and creativity to keep you playing. If you’re able to find a copy for less than its high asking price, Swagman is definitely a good game to add to your Saturn library.
