What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Tinhead is an ancient game from 1993. It's a whopping 31 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. Tinhead is just another rejected 2D platformer for the Sega Genesis. You may be wondering why a crap rejected Sega Genesis belongs on Steam and the answer is, you're right, it doesn't. This is another abandonware cash grab by Piko Interactive, who swindle their hands onto old abandoned/broken/dead games then try to swindle Steam gamers into paying them for someone else's old abandoned game. Ethical? Nope. This was never a good platformer. It's a shooter centric platformer where you collect pickups that enhance your attacks then go do some boss fights, but nobody bothered back on the Genesis and nobody is bothering now, either. This was garbage then and it's worse now... it just throws a spotlight on this shady gr…10 found this helpful
