Top 10 TurboGrafx-16 Hu-Card Games, Plus 5 Honorable Mentions
February 18th, 2018
Carl Williams The TurboGrafx-16 is one of those consoles that people either love or love to hate. There is no middle ground.

Working Designs Shuts Down – December 12th, 2005 – Today in Video Game History
December 11th, 2015
Carl Williams Working Designs was not a perfect game developer or publisher. They were far from it. Their role playing game releases were riddled with current event innuendo and jokes that date them today. The few action games they released were marketed in less than stellar ways.
