First person dungeon crawling adventures and me go WAY back. I love them. Probably my favorite genre, especially those that allow you to control a single person. I especially love the ones that give you one character (the rest are just filing cabinets to me). While not a single party first person dungeon crawler, Shining […]

Since then he went onto star in another action game and now […]

Mega Q-Bert Sega Genesis Review
June 9th, 2016 Carl Williams Q-Bert is a classic title that retrogaming fans either love or hate. This either/or sense of feeling about the game is due to the control scheme and the angled playfield. For me, I was not a fan of Q-Bert in my younger days as I was simply too hard headed to accept the control scheme […]

Why Wasn’t This a Hit- Mr Nutz by Ocean for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo
December 30th, 2015 Carl Williams Welcome to the first Why Wasn’t this a Hit: Mr. Nutz. This is not going to really be a review but more of a retrospective editorial looking into why the game in question didn’t become a hit.

World of Illusion Puts Mickey and Donald at the Forefront of Disney Gaming – December 17th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
December 16th, 2015 Carl Williams World of Illusion by Sega on the Genesis console bucks an unwritten rule of gaming. There is a loose theory that says the third game in a series is crap.
