When it comes to game ports it is often a brighter outlook if you steer towards independent homebrew developers.

May 15th, 2019
CPC4EVA (In screaming voice) “MORTAL KOMBAT !!!” With the release of the first Mortal Kombat movie, in 1995, “MORTAL KOMBAT” was a chant i was addicted to saying with my gamer friends for a decent chunk of that year.

X-Men Arcade Game Review
December 28th, 2018

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Launches on Nintendo Switch
October 18th, 2018
Carl Williams SNK fans are hardcore to the max. Especially the ones that supported their Neo Geo console (who else would buy games at $200+ each?). Nothing wrong with that, if you have the money and want to have the very best version of something, why not buy it? Me, I was more of a “pick up […]
