Remember the games Alien Carnage/Halloween Harry that were published by Apogee back in the heydays of shareware? I know I do, having played a lot of Alien Carnage on my 486 after getting a disk with the game from a local shareware mailer. The game was actually developed by John Passfield and he has since [...]

The movie Cool Runnings told the story of a bunch of Jamaicans aiming to enter the bobsled event in the 1988 Winter Olympics. It’s a story of unlikely characters with a dream of going fast in an unconventional sport. Finnish indie developers Boomlagoon’s first iOS title, Noble Nutlings (note the similar sounding titles), takes on [...]

The folks at California-based Curious Hat develop interactive mobile apps for children and adults alike, and one of their well-received apps would be their Eye Paint series of apps (check them out over here). Now they are curious to see what you and your family have created with their Eye Paint apps and you get [...]

Someone should ask Miyamoto what does he think of all the platformers out there inspired by Super Mario Bros. I for one think that the SMB-inspired game from developers Iddiction for the iPhone, Run Kitty Run: The Adventures of Timmy, is a pretty good title, although a little formulaic.

For all intents and purposes, upcoming Japanese shmup Vectros looks like a one-trick pony, but a very pretty looking one. It is as if someone made a 3D third person game out of Geometry Wars and judiciously borrowed from Star Wars expansive catalogue of ships for ship design. Throw in level environments that would make [...]

Back in the day, before reality T.V programmes such as American Idol and Survivor took center stage, I remember that as a child I used to watch plenty of American game shows on television. Shows such as Wheel of Fortune and The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime where staple after-dinner fares. Thanks to a larger [...]

I like how those folks over at MADFINGER Games work, they are constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to mobile games. I’ve been covering them since 2010 and they’ve evolved from games such as BloodyXmas and Samurai II, to awesome looking titles such as SHADOWGUN and the original Dead Trigger. Now, they’ve announced Dead [...]

I actually missed out on getting X-COM for a discount on Steam, but then again I’m not too sure whether I’ve the time to invest in the game, considering my duties as a new dad to a beautiful daughter . Fortunately the folks at Haiku Games asked me to check out their turn-based tactical RPG [...]

Back in college my lecturers used something called a “Little Man Computer” (LMC), which was simplified concept of a modern computer, in order to teach assembly code. So it was pretty interesting to receive an e-mail in my mailbox last week regarding a brand new app on the App Store called 4917emu by developer Michael [...]

A very Happy New Year 2013 from me at Nineoverten.com to all you readers out there. It has been a rollercoaster 7 days since Christmas when my wife gave birth to a beautiful daughter. If you are wondering why the lack of updates, well, a toddler can prove to be a handful and represents a [...]
