Deadeus (Evercade): COMPLETED!

Posted on 13/11/2021 Written by deKay

For something that looks like Pokémon on the Game Boy, boy did this take a turn. It’s a Game Boy game, set in a little village, with a nice beach and a church and a school and a library, but there’s a dark and sinister secret that the locals don’t want to talk about. And you and your friends have just started having nightmares about it.

With just three days until An Event, you have to get the truth out of people. Or, you can just leave town. In fact, it seems there are a number of different endings available to you, of which I found four. Two of which involve you dying,

It’s an unusual little game, and some bits don’t quite work (like the school only offers three classes and you just turn up to lessons when you fancy it), but the story is compelling and some of the shocking events on the third day are genuinely pretty shocking.

And you can dig up a dead cat. What’s not to enjoy?

Foxyland (Evercade): COMPLETED!

Posted on 09/11/2021 Written by deKay

This isn’t quite what I was expecting. You see, I’ve seen Foxyland (and several sequels) on the Switch eShop and PSN, and this isn’t quite that. It’s actually a Mega Drive version of the game, which had different levels.

It’s a basic platformer, where you have to collect a number of gems on each short level as well as optionally collect cherries (get enough and you get an extra life). Foxy can only jump and double-jump, and there’s various baddies, spikes, traps and falling blocks that kill him. Every few levels you get a boss fight, of sorts, and later levels get a bit bloody tricky both because of the difficulty but also some have puzzles involving switches.

It’s probably not a game I’d have bought otherwise, but it was nice enough.

Cosmic Spacehead (Evercade): COMPLETED!

Posted on 07/11/2021 Written by deKay

Although I own this on the Mega Drive, I don’t think I’ve ever played it. But with it being on the Evercade, as with many other titles, I’m rectifying that. And. completed it, of course.

The game is split between a Lucasarts-style point and click adventure game (there’s even a reference to Lucasarts in the form of a cave painting) and a platformer, with simple platforming sections wedged between each location.

With simple puzzles and no difficult platforming, it didn’t take me long to reach the end. As you’d expect, using a joypad to point-and-click isn’t ideal, but you can cycle through actions with the buttons to save manually selecting them with the pointer which helps. I like the art style, and although the backtracking was a bit of a pain I enjoyed it overall.

Mega-lo-Mania (Evercade): COMPLETED!

Posted on 25/08/2021 Written by deKay

Yes. I played Mega-lo-Mania again, and yes, I completed it again. This time, however, it was the recently released Evercade version! Which is just the Mega Drive version again only on an Evercade cart of course.

I chose to play as Scarlet this time through, and for the second time ever, one of the other players managed to stick some people in suspended animation for the Mother of All Battles. Of course, they only had about 10 of them whereas I had a couple of hundred or something, so they didn’t last long. Still, it’s the thought that counts, right?

Racing Fever (Evercade): COMPLETED!

Posted on 23/04/2021 Written by deKay

My new Evercade cartridges arrived! I have no idea why this is the game I played first, but I did, and because it’s very easy, I’d soon completed it too.

I’d never heard of Racing Fever before, but it’s clearly an attempt to bring a game like the Neo Geo titles Over Top and Drift Out to the Game Boy Advance (where this first appeared). I think this also marks the first Game Boy Advance title to appear on the Evercade too, actually.

There are 12 tracks, many of which feel the same despite the changes in scenery. Some of this is probably because you never actually drive down the screen, despite the fact you have several laps of each track! That is to say, you only go left, right and up (and diagonally up) on the screen and yet still somehow end up back where you started.

It’s a bit low rent, and as I said, very easy, but it was fun enough until I finished it.
