Review: Clockwork Aquario (PlayStation 4 & Switch) - Defunct Games 

QotD: There's probably a hundred better choices, but I really wanted to continue with D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. It's a shame we only got the first chapter.

I think you're right; I don't care if this is short & simplistic, and it definitely scratches an itch :) I mean, as far as an _arcade_ platformer goes, this all checks out - it looks about on par with games like Top Hunter or Spin Master. Limited mechanics, straightforward stage design, focus on spectacle. Its easy to see these mechanics and think it would've been better off if they shifted the platform to the Genesis, 32X or Saturn (depending on the timing) and expanded what you can do with the whole "picking up and throwing stunned enemies" thing (it's similar to what Klonoa does, after all), but there really aren't enough arcade platformers out there, so this kinda thing is always welcome in my book. Though all the points made here are totally fair. Still looking forward to checking this out though. QOTD: Starcraft Ghost is a _damn_ good choice, Cyril, ESPECIALLY if you played Metal Arms: Glitch in the Systems. Blizzard bought that Swingin' Ape Studios to finish that one; it really should've been fantastic, but I honestly thought it looked better when Nihilistic was working on it. I... just don't know what happened there, but it is definitely sad. I've got weird choices, but honestly, I would've liked to see 3 games come out. The first one is "Project HAGGAR" or that Halo Megabloks game by N-Space; the next is RiQA by Bits Studio, a third person Syphon Filter-esque shooter with a "western anime" style that I really would've liked to see come out back in the day, especially because Bits did the _UNBELIEVABLE_ Warlocked RTS on Game Boy Color which is just like... it's literally hard to believe someone made an RTS on the freakin' Game Boy and it was SO good; the final game I would've liked to see come out was Tenth Degree, a 3D Fighter by Atari-Midway that would've come out after MACE and BioFreaks that also had a "western anime" style going on. And again, I really just thought the N64 could've used it, as an N64 kid. It genuinely looked pretty decent in location test/MAME footage, and you just know Eurocom or Saffire would've been contracted for the port and they would've done a bang-up job bringing it to the N64 like they did with their other ports of Atari-Midway '90s Voodoo FX arcade games.

The original LucasArts Sam & Max: Freelance Police.

Short shallow and cheap boss fights was pretty much the course for arcade games of the era. Been looking forward to this and know what to expect. QOTD, unfinished game i'd like to see is that 32x Castlevania.

You know, this is actually a good and accurate review. Hits all the points that need to be said.

QOTD: I wanna see a remaster of the cancelled Jungle Emperor Leo/ Kimba The White Lion N64 game!

I've been playing brown and gray Xbox 360 games recently and seeing how colorful this game is really makes it insane to think there was an entire generation of games that didn't use color.

StarCraft Ghost!!!! Yeah I know you mentioned it but as a huge fan of StarCraft back then I was crushed when it was finally and officially cancelled. Once Activision Blizzard has a complete culture overhaul I would be ecstatic to see them release it.

I have the physical version and I enjoy every minutes of it. It is a good arcade game.

QOTD: Shenmue! No, seriously, I still want an ending. On a completely different note, having received the Evercade VS Founders Edition, I have been introduced to Biomechanical Toy. Boy, does that game need more coverage!

Oh and sorry for the additional comment but I'd also love to see Interplay (or whomever has the riggts now) release the sequel to Star Trek: Judgment Rites. Great video as always!!!

Great review! I just subscribed.

Still waiting for my SLG copy I preordered over year ago. 😡

This does look kinda interesting, but only on Switch and PS4, no PC ports, sadly, won't be able to play it yet. As for the question, one I could think of, which may be finished, but was never released due to all the online Karens was GamerGirl. Really wanted to try it out, looked interesting from the trailer, but the Karens complaining caused Wales Interactive to pull the plug on releasing it. Bloody hell.

Tecmo arcade unreleased Ninja Gaiden II & Capcom Fighting All-Stars

This is a good example of people wanting what they can't have and psyching themselves up in their heads, making it more than it is in reality. It's just a middling arcade game from the 90s

I just found out about this today. An unreleased Sega title from the time of the Sega Saturn...SOLD! The game is only 10 bucks right now. It's on the Xbox One/Xbox One X/Series S/Series X/PS4/PSPRO/PS5/Switch/Steam Deck. Addendum- Have you all noticed how many Sega Saturn games are showing up on the Series X (and some on the PS5)? It's ludicrous, and so far, I have all of them save for one (VF2). I own so many copies of that game I don't need another one. ;)

And they're trying to charge $20 for this. I don't understand these publishers. It should be no more than $4.99. Their sales would more than double. With this price, nobody but hardcore retro gamers who love obscure games will buy it. And they prefer physical media so who is this for?
