I’ve ploughed through more release schedules than is probably healthy, but that hasn’t stopped me from dipping into the discount bin whenever gold floats to the top. This week’s crop caught me mid-caffeine sip and featured some genuine stunners. No filler, all killer, and a few legacy titles that are criminally underplayed too.
In retro news, I’m hyper beaming 31 candles on a cake for Super Metroid, a true legend of the Super Nintendo. To say this blew my mind at launch is quite the understatement; my SNES-owning neighbour and I were glued to his CRT (especially during sleepover sessions when this game’s spookiness factor increased). Even to this day, this remains a masterpiece of the action-adventure genre, beloved for its atmosphere, level design, and exemplary 2D action that’s tighter than a zero suit leotard. Play it. Adore it. Now.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
