When Nintendo was planning their Super Nintendo console they knew they had to do something to set it apart from the rival Sega Genesis, and to a lesser extent the NEC Turbo Grafx-16. Rather than just being a 16-bit version of their Nintendo Entertainment System with more colors and parallax scrolling, Nintendo went with something […]

Demonic Love Story RPG Translated for Super Nintendo
November 4th, 2018 
Carl Williams One thing that Nintendo would certainly not allow on their consoles prior to the “Play it Loud” campaign was demonic games. I am pretty sure they didn’t allow them on their consoles till around the Nintendo Gamecube, two console generations later (Eternal Darkness being the game I am thinking of here). That is in the […]

June 10th, 2018 Carl Williams Fans of the Double Dragon franchise will remember the 16-bit entry on the Super Nintendo, Super Double Dragon.

Populous Review
June 9th, 2018 Carl Williams Sure, today playing god in a game is nothing new. We have plenty of options if this is your one and only goal in your electronic entertainment. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s though, options were much more limited. Populous took the idea of a sandbox game, mixed in plenty of “god like” […]

Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat Finally Bleeds
May 21st, 2018 Carl Williams Back in the day Nintendo had this weird knack for censoring games. On the 8-Bit Nintendo Entertainment System this was not all that much of a problem.

My Favorite Gaming Hidden Gems, Part Three: Metal Marines (1993, SNES)
December 17th, 2017 Michael Crisman Prior to the PlayStation, which got ports of games like Command & Conquer and Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, military strategy sims are in short supply, and good military strategy sims are rarer than Detroit Lions championship rings.
