Manifold Garden is a first person perspective puzzle game that takes a lot of inspiration from M.C. Escher’s artwork. You’ll solve basic block and switch puzzles, but the gimmick here is that you can change gravity so you can walk on walls and ceilings! And don’t worry if you fall, the levels loop so you can land where you started, or somewhere else if need be. The game is available to download on pretty much anything you can play a game on, but reviewed on Switch here.

Enjoy one last bit of summer with Skimboard Hero! But what is Skimboarding? Yeah I didn’t know either until I played this game. Who says games don’t teach you anything! Anyway, Skimboarding is kind of like surfing except you use a smaller board and you ride the small wake waves near the shore. And that’s what you do in this game, which is like a vertically scrolling endless…surfer? Collect sand dollars, jump over ramps, perform tricks, and avoid obstacles. The game also has neat retro graphics. It’s available for free on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.

In Kandagawa Jet Girls, you race futuristic water jet bikes around rivers in Tokyo. Your drivers are two young anime ladies, one steers and the other shoots a water gun at other racers to slow them down. Kind of reminds me of Mario Kart: Double Dash in a way. Apparently this game is based on an anime cartoon as well. Huh, I didn’t know that. Learn something new every day. Anyway, this game is available on PS4 and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

One final part of my blog series on the TG-16 Mini! Last time we looked at some of the games on the Japanese PC Engine side, and now we’ll look at the rest of them. The games in this batch I’m more familiar with, because they were released in the US in some form or fashion either on this console, other consoles, or in the arcade. And they’re also made by well-known companies like Namco, Capcom, SEGA, Taito, and Konami. OK let’s finish this off!
