This week on InRetroSpection we’re playing Super Mario Sisters-err-I mean The Great Giana Sisters! This quirky computer platformer draws more than a little inspiration from the famous Italian duo. But with the new remake on Kickstarter, it looks to be evolving into it’s own.

InRetroSpection 51: Dirk Dies-A-Lot

This week we take a look at a trilogy of arcade games…if you can even call them games. Interactive cartoons probably best describes the Dragon’s Lair trilogy. Gruesome Death Simulator would also fit, because we die. A lot.
