Poll Are You Playing Tomba! Special Edition?
Piggin' it
Tomba! Special Edition is out now on PS5, reviving what some consider to be a classic (and underappreciated) PS1 platformer. If you've never heard of Tomba! (or Tombi!, as it was known in Europe), then honestly, you're in for a bit of a treat. In our humble opinion, it still stands as a deeply charming and unique adventure — and if...
Review Tomba! Special Edition (PS5) - PS1 Oddity Remains a Fun, Fresh, and Unique Platformer
Pigs will fly
So, who remembers Tomba!? Also known as Tombi! in Europe, it was a distinctly Japanese platformer that charmed many a PS1 player all the way back in 1997. Often bizarre but almost always bright and cheery, Tomba! offered something very different to the genre's blockbusters, like Crash Bandicoot or Spyro. It was a curious blend of...
News You'll Need to Clear Everything to Get PS1 Classic Tomba!'s Platinum on PS5, PS4
Yes, including all 130 events
Earning the Platinum Trophy in Whoopee Camp’s iconic PS1 classic Tomba! won’t be a walk in the Village of All Beginnings.

News Retro GBA RPG Shmup Sigma Star Saga Is Making a Comeback
It's the WayForward
Here’s a deep cut for the Game Boy Advance enthusiasts among you: retro RPG-cum-shmup mash-up Sigma Star Saga is plotting a comeback on modern platforms. While no specific consoles have been announced just yet, this is part of Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine initiative, so it seems fairly safe to assume that at least PS5...
News The Countdown Is on for Iconic 90s Horror Clock Tower's Western Release
Tick tock
While there’s every chance you’ll have heard of 1995’s iconic horror Clock Tower, you probably haven’t played it.

News GEX Trilogy Revives a Long Lost 90s Mascot on PS5, PS4
GEX who?
Nintendo had Super Mario. SEGA had Sonic the Hedgehog. And 3DO had… GEX? Well, kinda. The James Bond-esque gecko debuted as a console exclusive on Trip Hawkins’ ill-fated format, but later launched on SEGA Saturn and PlayStation – before subsequent sequels launched first on Sony’s vastly more popular system. While the original game...
News Classic PS1 Platformer Tomba! 2 Will Follow the First Game to PS5, PS4
Greedy pigs
When Limited Run Games announced that it was bringing a remaster of the original Tomba! to PS5 and PS4 as Tomba Special Edition, many of us were left wondering whether the second game, Tomba! 2, would get the same treatment.

Mini Review Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (PS5) - A Charmingly Shoddy CD-i Sendup
Jewel love it or hate it
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore more or less nails what it sets out to do. Inspired directly by a pair of infamously bad Zelda games for the Philips CD-i, this fresh interpretation carries much of the same pseudo-bootleg energy that fans have come to love over time. The poorly animated cutscenes, awful voice acting, static...
News Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland Brings Nostalgic Side-Scrolling Fun to PS5, PS4 in March
Baby game
This somehow completely passed us by when it was announced several months ago, but a new detail has just surfaced, and a baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do. Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is in development for both PS5 and PS4, and it's an old school 2D platformer that's about as 90s as you can get. Developed by The MIX Games and...
