History
Who/What are we?
OW:Videogames is/was Retro Remakes and is ran by Rob. We post about videogames that we like and think you might like too. Our only criteria is that we like at least one thing about it.
Want to drop us a line about something? mail Rob. He's slow but he gets there in the end.
owVideogames is dedicated to the memory of Steve Phelps aka The Toker and is produced with the utmost of thanks to [JJ].
Get Posted!
Got a game you think we might like and want to post about? Want to know how to get it posted here?
1. Have something for us to show and post about.
Videos, screenshots, playable builds. Give us a reason to want to post about it and give us something to post. We're mainly interested in awesome looking hobbyist stuff, retro remakes and curiosities but hey, try us. You never know. We like games.
2. Get in touch!
You can tweet me, mail me, rail me. No, don't rail me.
3. Be nice! We like nice!
Being nice is *so* much better than just firing off a generic press release and more likely to entice us to have a gander at your stuff.

Came for the remakes, only want the remakes?
That's ok, we've preserved all the Retro Remakes posts for all time and the drop list of remakes will continue to function and be added to should any more pass through our doors.

Bang Bang Boot: Explodemon
If ever you find yourself having one of those intermittent “meh, they just don’t make videogames anymore” moments then STOP. Right there. Help is at hand. And it’s at hand in the shape of the boomtastic Explodemon. Explodemon never stops feeling like a videogame and it’s all the more awesome because of it.
For those who can’t quite work it out, you’re a man who explodes. Sometimes on a timer, sometimes at the press of a button but always, always with the exploding into itty bitty pieces. Explode to jump higher, explode to explode walls, explode to kill enemies. Essentially, do some exploding. That’s what it’s about. Exploding. It’s a little bit Megaman, a little bit before anyone had really thought of Megaman, and a lot of bit fun.
It’s been out a fair while on the PSofN and relatively recently EXPLODED onto the PC. With a bit of a shitty whimper, unfortunately. Which is unfair for something as lovely-slice-of-videogamey-fun as this.
Grab it for some Earth pounds direct or for a few days only as part of an Indie Royale bundle (about 3 and a bit days left at the time of writing).
OCTOPUS DOWN: The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character
I’ve been rummaging through a fair amount of PSN and PS-mini stuff this past week and whilst a lot of it can be safely filed under “also available on your phone for cheaps” or “if you’ve got more than one device, it’s also over there” there’s a couple of gems tucked amongst the noise that are well worth a gander at.
The star of the minis show is pretty much The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character. Which is, obviously, a game about the 2d adventures of Rotating Octopus Character. Where Rotating Octopus Character rotates himself and rotates around 2d blocks to pick up other octopus (not rotating) in order to progress to the next stage. Also not bumping into 2d bad guys (not rotating) to avoid the 2d adventures of Rotating Octopus Character coming to an abrupt 2d end.
Oh, ok, have a video instead. It’s easier.
Anyway, if you’ve not really ducked into the minis, this is as good a place to start as any. Might as well start with the fun-o-meter set to max.
Choplifter HD
Two years after someone spotted that inXile had picked up the trademark for Choplifter, we now get a glimpse at what it’s going to look like and where it’s going to appear.
Choplifter “Explosion in a graphics factory” HD will be making an appearance on the PC and on the PS3. Which is nice as I get to add a PS3 category now. Huzzah. (What?)
Lummy knows about a price but I’d guess at “not too much, probably”. Because that’s how I roll. That’s how the kids speak these days, isn’t it?
