    Dave the Diver Review – Low Pressure Diving

    Dave the Diver is a laid back game about diving into a semi-randomized ocean trench in order to catch loads of exotic fish to supply a sushi restaurant. Or, at least, that’s what it is at the beginning. Dave will still be a diver at the end of the game, but along the way he’ll…

    Densha de Go! (Go by Train) (Cyberfront/Taito, 1999) A long running Japanese train sim, now on GBC. Train sims are at least something pretty to look at on modern systems, but here it’s just watching vaguely area-appropriate green scenery scroll past. Densha de Go 2! (Cyberfront/Taito, 2000) Basically the same game. It had the Shinagawa…
