PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

198X does full retro on the Switch

Ahh, combo games. Back in the 80s multi-sport Summer Games or multi-shooter games like Raid over Moscow were a great way to add value to a game by offering different "events" or level types. Enter 198X on the Switch, a game that throws in a whole bunch of genres including road racing, beat 'em up, arcade shooters and more as the backdrop to a personal story and adventure. All for just £8.99 and out now.

As a kid in the 90s, the local arcade was a part of growing up, but in 198X, it is key to the protagonists growth. Each game has its own graphic style and suitable music with the over-arching story tying everything together.
