  • Who Am I?

     

    Yo! My name is Robbie. Join me as I fumble through this blog thing and rattle on about games and stuff that I like!

    I don’t feel like there are many gamers out there with my kind of tastes – at least it feels that way most of the time – so I’m starting this page in hopes of finding others out there, who like me, have strange kinda tastes.

    This is going to be interesting.

    So, if you’ve somehow found yourself here, then I hope you manage to dig A Certain Kind of Gamer.

Tänzer: NEW Mega Drive Game Kickstarter + More NEW Games For SEGA’s 16-Bit Wonder !!!

May 29, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Capture

It seems we can’t go a month or two without a new Mega Drive/Genesis game being announced via a Kickstarter campaign. Which is crazy. Because it’s 2018. I’m not one to look a gift-horse in the mouth though – I adore my SEGA Mega Drive, perhaps more now than I ever did back in the day, and I’ll take whatever I can get.

Provided it looks promising enough.

I woke up the other morning, and did my usual thing.

Morning coffee. My email. My forums. Indie Retro News.

Right there at the top of the page was news of a new Mega Drive Kickstarter for a game called Tänzer. Check out this trailer:

Who doesn’t love some cheap games? They’re a nice way to pad out your library, sure, but a gamble they can definitely be – a cheap RRP isn’t usually synonymous with quality. Well, don’t fret, because I’m here to help! These 5 games I’m about to show you challenge that theory.

Here are 5 Games for the Retro Gamer you can find on Steam that are totally mint, as well as cheap!

PSYTRONIK SOFTWARE – STEEL RANGER

February 1, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

desktop-screenshot-2018-02-01-23-19-12-32.jpg

I’ll be taking a look at each of the brand-new Psytronik Software Commodore 64 games in time, but I’m starting here, with what is quite possibly my favourite game of 2018 so far – Steel Ranger.

Developed entirely by Lasse Öörni and published by Psytronik Software.

Get Steel Ranger HERE!!!

The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that I have always coveted from afar. Well, kinda. As a kid, a neighbour of mine had one, and I relished every chance I got to play it. I did have a VIC-20, and I loved that thing, but it mysteriously disappeared a few weeks before I got my first Mega Drive for Christmas…

As you lot know, I am very much looking forward to Bitmap Bureau’s new Mega Drive/Dreamcast game Xeno Crisis.

And judging by the success of the Kickstarter campaign, it’s abundantly clear that I’m not the only one.

5 MEGA DRIVE GAMES with that AMIGA kinda flavour.

January 6, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

RetroArch Screenshot 2018.01.06 - 19.05.44.92 - Copy

As a kid, I loved nothing more than convincing my neighbour to let me play their Amiga 500.

Ok, I’m sure there were things I loved more than that, but you see what I’m getting at.

The small amount of time I spent with the classic PC left me wanting more, and luckily, I didn’t have to look too far to get my fix. The Amiga was, obviously, quite the success in Europe, and although I’m not too sure how it fared here in Australia, I’d be willing to bet it was popular enough.

At least using the old “I knew tonnes of people with one” litmus test.
