Catagrams is pretty good and it's free, so yeah, I recommend downloading it.

I really liked Dungeon Magic aka Light Bringer from Taito.  Taito also made Cadash, which might fit into your category.

Pac-Man World: RePac was my GOTY for 2022.  I have a lot of special memories involving the original Pac-Man World, which I wrote about here:

And speaking of Picross, you know how last year I reviewed and you played Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons?  Well they just came out with Piczle Cross: Rune Factory and I'm working on reviewing it right now!

He's been doing web comics for as long as I've known him, and that's been over 20 years.

Yeah but it's all just paper stuff so not as big as it sounds.

I reviewed Fishing Master: World Tour a long time ago:

The hand drawn sprite work in Wario Land: Shake It is amazing.  And Captain Syrup makes her triumphant return!

The Sonic racing games are really good, too.  My favorite characters to play as are Ulala and Tails.

That's a good idea, but Robbie is doing a web comic with his own characters right now, so I doubt he'd do another one at the same time.

Yeah I think it's cool they have a theme song.  I wonder how they did that?  I wish my podcast had a theme song!

Each member of their podcast has an animal alter ego to go along with them, just for fun I guess.  James is a raccoon, Pemmy is a dragon, and Krissy is a wolf.  The first podcast I was a guest on was for the Pac-Man cartoon, and they asked me what kind of animal I would like to be for it.  I really couldn't think of anything (what kind of animal do you think I would be?) but then I thought that since we were going to talk about the Pac-Man cartoon and I really like the ghost monsters, then I could be a ghost monster, too.  Pemmy said that was oddly fitting for me, and he even drew a picture of me as a ghost monster for the podcast.  You can see that picture here;

Only thing I know about Eltrian Odyssey is that I think Yuzo Koshiro did the music.  Definitely would be a selling point to me if I had time for those games.

Only thing I know about Arcana is that it was made by HAL Laboratory, makers of Kirby and Smash.  I'm a huge fan of HAL Labs, but Arcana is one of the few of their games I've never played.  I hear Kirby makes a 'blink and you'll miss it' cameo, though.

Darkwing Duck definitely isn't dark.  In fact, it's one of the more slapstick of the Disney Afternoon cartoons.  But it's still good.  

"Pemmy" on the podcast has been my for real life in person friend for over 20 years and lives in the same area I do.  I'm friends with the others as well, but I've only ever known them online.
