Prerendered Blastathon Vectorman Makes Sega Genesis Debut – October 24th, 1995 – Today in Video Game History
October 24th, 2020 Carl Williams Vectorman was one of the better uses of prerendered computer graphics in games. Sure, Nintendo did it with the Donkey Kong Country franchise but that was, well, on the Super Nintendo. Sega needed something to brag about in this genre and Vectorman was it.

Work in Progress: Leilani’s Island Mixes Nintendo Classic Platformers to Create New Inspired Adventure
February 23rd, 2015 Carl Williams How many interesting 2D side scrolling games can you name that come from homebrew developers? Sure, we have our darker stuff with Castlevania: Spectral Interlude or Infernax but there are not many “family friendly” safe games in this category.
