Revelations: Persona is a franchise that I personally never expected to see release in North America. The setting, a high school, the subject matter, demons, and more just seemed to be too much for gamers here. I remember reading gaming magazines in the mid 1990’s and seeing that this game was indeed coming. That was […]

Top 3 “Desert Island” Games (Top 3 Tuesday)
April 30th, 2017 Michael Crisman I have to say, when I saw MichaelB’s Top 3 Tuesday topic this week, I was confused. This appeared to be the one that broke him.

Sega Genesis Receives Zelda Clone Crusader of Centy – June 16th, 1994 – Today in Retro Gaming
June 15th, 2016 Carl Williams Crusader of Centy filled a hole for Sega Genesis fans. Nintendo had the Legend of Zelda series since the 8-Bit days. Sega kind of was lacking in the action game with light role playing elements category. Sega had the Phantasy Star series which was more of an answer to Square’s Final Fantasy. They really had […]

Revenge of the License: Friday the 13th
March 15th, 2015 Michael Crisman Seven months ago, I took at look at Domark’s Friday the 13th for the Commodore 64 as the second installment of this column. Back then, I didn’t realize how much fun I was going to have with this series and I wasn’t sure if it would continue much past two or three installments. Reaction, however, […]

October 27th, 2013 Carl Williams At a time when scrolling shooters had about three frames of animation for the player ship (resting, moving up and moving down) Atlus saw fit to release a game that featured a tranforming robot/ship that had many more frames of animation.
