Articles about Evercade 07: Interplay Collection 2

Evercade A to Z: Claymates - Interplay put out a fair few “claymation” games in their time, of varying degrees of quality! One that was on the slightly better end of things was Claymates, an inventive and enjoyable side-scrolling platformer with some interesting level design and some peculiar mechanics. Check it out in the video below, and don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube … Continue reading Evercade A to Z: Claymates
Earthworm Jim 2: See What Sticks - With the positive reception the first Earthworm Jim had on its original release, a sequel was inevitable. But how do you follow something as chaotic and irreverent as Earthworm Jim?

Some great examples can be found on the two Interplay Collection cartridges, which include … Continue reading The Brainies: Furry Balls
The Adventures of Rad Gravity: Creative Vision - We talk quite a lot about “video game auteurs” these days, and how modern technology allows game designers to realise their visions like never before. This sort of thing has been going on for quite some time, however — and in some respects, it’s even more impressive when a developer clearly expresses their creativity through … Continue reading The Adventures of Rad Gravity: Creative Vision
