Dungeons & Dragons first hit the market in 1974 via TSR, in 1983, an animated series was released. This was around the time the Basic Set Version 3 was released for those keeping track. That is almost pointless as the animated television series was not based on any rule set. At least that I can […]

Kickstarter – Coffee Crisis New Sega Genesis Brawler
November 5th, 2016 Carl Williams Brawlers are a lost art in today’s world. That is a simple, cold hard, fact. For some reason the scrolling fighter genre has fallen on hard times.

Mother Russia Bleeds Brings Back Scrolling Brawlers for Steam Now Playstation 4 Soon

Dragon Climax New Scrolling Brawler for PC Steam Greenlight
January 25th, 2016 Carl Williams The early days of brawlers such as Vigilante and Kung Fu Master had a certain charm to them. They were not as complicated as the later entries in this genre such as Final Fight and Double Dragon. No, those early games had direct fun written all over them- none of that cheap “side stepping” that […]
