[Review] Serofans (PSX)
After playing through the Game Center CX games, I didn’t want to be done. Luckily, this gem eventually emerged in my search: a 1997 Japan-exclusive Playstation 1 game presenting a set of nostalgically-made homages to very early arcade games. We’re talking late 70s, early 80s.

[Review] Umihara Kawase Bazooka (PC)
This multiplayer-focused crossover spinoff wasn’t the direction I was expecting for the Umihara Kawase series, but I don’t mind it!
