Okay, so we've been neck-deep in TMNT: Shredder's Revenge for the past few weeks, causing us to miss a few of the latest iiRcade announcements. iiRcade, as all the cool kids know, is a home arcade platform for which users can buy individual games. Some of those games include RetroMania Wrestling, which just got a free update; the recently released Donut Dodo, a single-player game that plays just like a lost arcade classic; and several existing classics like Strikers 1945, The Ninja Kids, and FixEight that now support online co-op.

It’s hard to imagine nowadays, but long ago, two of the 8-bit era’s most popular beat ‘em up franchises once teamed up in a single game called Battletoads/Double Dragon. Developed by the wizards at Rare, the crossover game deftly mixed the two properties to produce a game that remains well-liked by those who played it. Sadly, Batt...

The home arcade cabinet business consists of several manufacturers with differing approaches, such as Arcade1Up's 3/4-scale replicas of classic cabinets like X-Men and Terminator 2. iiRcade, on the other hand, sells a home arcade cabinet that features a larger 19-inch screen and a digital storefront with both classic arcade and modern indie games. During the Black Friday Sale that starts today, iiRcade home arcade consoles are on sale for $200 off.

Come on, come all to yet another rendition of "check out this new/old game for you to play on your Xbox One"!  Gaze upon the games of yesteryear, imagine playing them on your fancy new console, and patiently await the day your favorite old game is called into the future.

During the summer, Nintendo unveiled a little something that's sure to be a big hit this holiday season, the NES Classic Edition. The "console" shaped like a classic NES would come preloaded with 30 titles from the olden days, like Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros 3, and include modern connection ports so you can hook it up to your TV and relive your youthful gaming days. Retro-Bit, who has been putting out emulation consoles that let you play your old cartridges, has recently announced a similar product, the Retro-Bit Generations.

While Sony and Microsoft are trying to one-up one another with the "2.0 versions" of their consoles, Nintendo has decided to go retro. A $60 version of their original NES console, dubbed the "Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition," will arrive this November with 30 original titles, including a fair number of co-op classics.

Really Slick's cave-flyer/shooter Retrobooster hit Steam last week and Terry Welsh, the game's developer generously provided us with a a few codes to giveaway here on the site.

The 2.5D cave shooter/flyer Retrobooster will finally see its release on Steam this Friday. The game came out a few months back, available for purchase through its website, but its Greenlight campaign has been ongoing. Now, all of that waiting for votes has finally paid off.

You may remember a little indie title we've talked about here before called Retrobooster. While the co-op aspects may not have been everything we were quite looking for, the game itself is a solid twin-stick shooter/cave-flyer. The developer, Terry Welsh, once worked for NASA on some of their simulators and that background definitely shows in the game's controls. It's well worth a play and not only can you get the 1.1 version now, you can also get it on sale for the next couple days.

We all know that co-op gaming was invented in 2003 by Al Gore. The back of that placemat in IHOP told us so. It turns out, however, that some really smart computer people managed to pull off some crafty multiplayer tricks back in the 1970s, creating some of the first video games with co-op modes. And then there's us, the spoiled gamers that we ...

Really Slick's first game, Retrobooster, is a cave-flyer, survival shooter that returns to the days of gaming yore where flying around in space meant you had to be conscious of pesky things like physics and gravity. So we dusted off our piloting skills and took it out for a spin....

Co-op space shooter Retrobooster is set to release February 21st for Windows and Linux. This space shooter may be set at "1980s difficulty" but it certainly doesn't have 1980s controls or graphics. The game balances navigation, intense firefights, puzzles, and high speed flying into a beautiful looking experience.
