Things we missed last week: A remake of Colossal Cave Adventures (one of the original text adventures) called Colossal Cave, which puts the game into 3D environments and was helmed by Roberta and Ken Williams. Yes, first-ballot Hall of Famers Roberta and Ken Williams. Tank Force, Namco's 1991 follow-up to Battle City (which I played on 31-in-1 back in the day) joined the Archives.
A quiet week this week - which after last week's triple-header of RPGs is sorely needed - is helmed by the relatively inexpensive game of the week; Bertil Horberg's latest Onion Assault (as John discussed recently on Connectivity). The graphical savant has turned his attention to Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 and the results look kind of promising to give a break between Tartarus runs. And aside from Startup Company, giant overvaluations and layoffs not included, that seems to be it...
...until we get to Japan which drops another 400 hours of RPG between Disgaea 7 (remember, 6 came out two years ago) and Story of Seasons: It's A Wonderful Life. The west will wait until the summer at minimum for both, blessedly.
