New Release Tuesday: Revenge of Black Bass Edition

“A video game about fishing? How could that possibly be fun?”

Back in the Nintendo dominated 8-bit generation, there wasn’t an indie gaming community like the one that exists today, but games back then were so experimental in nature that publishers took a chance on just about anything. The new releases this week feature games from all different types of genres, so don’t be afraid to branch out and experiment with something new.
