Dungeons & Dragons first hit the market in 1974 via TSR, in 1983, an animated series was released. This was around the time the Basic Set Version 3 was released for those keeping track. That is almost pointless as the animated television series was not based on any rule set. At least that I can […]

December 29th, 2016 Carl Williams Think the Commodore 64 cannot do Full Motion Video? Think again, it can even do a great rendition of the Knight Rider and Dallas intros.

May 29th, 2016 Carl Williams The Sega Dreamcast, a console that many retro gamers feel left the console war too soon. Isn’t that how it goes though? They either leave the battle too soon or stay beyond their welcome. The Dreamcast in particular had so much untapped potential. 3D action adventure gams saw a major jump from the 32-Bit era […]

Fan Translation: Samurai Pizza Cats on Nintendo NES Translated to French
February 7th, 2015 Carl Williams To say thank you to our readers over in France I figured it would be best to bring up a fun bit of news specifically for them.

5 Obscure 8-Bit Gaming Licenses You Don’t See Anymore
October 11th, 2014 Carl Williams Licensing a celebrity, sports star, company and others are nothing new in gaming. I have seen many liceneses in gaming over the years.

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time on the Super Nintendo
August 10th, 2014 Carl Williams The turtles have been around for many years and if judging by the financial success of the newest movie, that version will be around for at least another movie (and related licensed products).
