Kickle Cubicle review (NES)

Nintendo (8-Bit), Retro Games, Retro Museum,

What do earmuffs, plums, evil wizards, and kicking things have in common? The addictive puzzle game Kickle Cubicle, that’s what. Circa 1990, Tetris and Dr. Mario were causing headaches for the gaming public, and it’s unfortunate that Kickle Cubicle remains nearly forgotten. This unique...

My Sega Genesis

Consoles, Retro Museum,
