Ordinary Retro Gamer: Tom and Jerry, Timon and Pumbaa, Toy Story, and Rambo III
Most of my gaming has been of the retro variety recently, revisiting some of the classics from the 80’s and 90’s, and some not so classics. Some of these games I had encountered before, and others I stumbled across by chance. Here are a few short reviews of games I’ve been playing. Tom and Jerry…
