Ahh baseball… the all American sport. Balls… bats… hot dogs… buns… ok, that was weird. But seriously, on the NES there was a game called Baseball. It was developed in house by Nintendo in 1983 and released as a launch title when the NES came out in the US.

Check out some of the gameplay of the original here…

While looking for cool indie games, I stumbled across an updated version of the NES classic… Zombie Baseball. Thats right folks. Now you can finally kill some zombies while enjoying a national past time. In this version of Baseball, you cue the pitcher and hit the baseballs while aiming them towards on coming zombies. You lose if the zombies get to either you or the pitcher. The game was created by UK based indie game developer “Built By Man” although it sadly seems he’s been inactive. It was created using the game engine Stencyl.

Play the game now!

Long time no post guys,

I’ve been busy lately and got a little distracted from the blog, but now I’m back and to kick things off I’ve got an indie game review. The game I’ve chosen is a cute puzzle platformer called Perspective. You play a dog, who’s trying to reach his, a little old lady. There’s actually a nice ending to it, so its worth playing through. The game is simple enough, at the beginning, but later it gets more challenging. Unfortunately, the game is pretty short, so it does feel like there should be more coming when the game then just kinda ends. Which really does feel sad, but I’d really love to see a sale version of this game with more levels (I realize that not a lot of people want to create 200 levels and not get paid). All in all I give this game a 4.5 out of 5. A more detailed rating can be seen below.

Graphics and design: 8 of 10
Sound Design: 8 of 10
Gameplay:9 of 10
Concept: 9 of 10
Controls: 8 of 10
Fun: 8 of 10
Level Design: 8

Cheers,

A Super Mario Summary

Did you never get to beat Super Mario Bros?

Are you too busy now, as an adult, to beat it?

Well, Swedish game designer Johan Peitz has got just the thing for you…

He’s created a game called “A Super Mario Summary” which is an adaption of the original Super Mario Bro’s game from the NES. He’s converted it to a single screen puzzle platformer. Yes… each level is composed of a single screen in which you must figure out how to make it to the flag pole. This type of game is very popular with Flash game designers and mobile game designers. He created this game, apparently in just 48 hours for the 23rd Ludum Dare 48 hour game development challenge! Wow!

You can play it here!

It’s quite enjoyable and definitely worth a look!
