The Legendary Axe Rocks TurboGrafx-16 – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History
August 19th, 2014 Carl Williams When NEC launched the TurboGrafx-16 in North America they faced many challenges. For one they were slightly off as far as what gamers on this side of the pond wanted. Sega was closer and therefore outsold the NEC machine regularly. The Legendary Axe was quite the showcase title for the TurboGrafx-16. It definitely should have […]

Keith Courage Earns Packin Rights on TurboGrafx-16 – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History
August 18th, 2014 Carl Williams This was NEC’s answer to Altered Beast, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. There is no arcade tie-in here (though the TurboGrafx-16 did launch with R-Type). NEC was at a disadvantage as far as arcade ports went. That didn’t stop them from trying different things such as a pinball game at launch. Keith Courage in Alpha […]

China Warrior Shows Immense Sprites on Turbo Grafx-16 But Not Much Else – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History
August 18th, 2014 Carl Williams The debut of the TurboGrafx-16 was a tough launch for NEC. This was probably due to a couple of reasons. One, this was their first console and not every launch title is going to be a hit with fans. Secondly, their lack of understanding what North American gamers wanted hurt throughout the consoles’ life. It […]

Space Harrier II Launches 3D Arcade Action on Sega Genesis – August 14th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History
August 14th, 2014 Carl Williams Space Harrier II was not the first 3D endless runner, but it was first on the Sega Genesis. Sega was eager to show off the power of their newly launched console and what better way to do that than with a title that would be severely limited on the Nintendo Entertainment System? Space Harrier II, […]

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). One licensed title that featured the “heroes in a half shell” was the Super Nintendo game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles […]

Bandit Gaming: Super Mario 4: Space Odyssey for Sega Genesis
July 28th, 2014 Carl Williams It is no secret that Mario and company never were able to grace the Sega Genesis platform, officially. That has not stopped fans from making unofficial adventures with Nintendo’s favorite Italian plumber available. Take Super Mario 4: Space Odyseey for example, this is a Russian pirate game and looks pretty decent.

Ebay: Atari Lynx Driving School Educational Release Up For Auction
July 27th, 2014 Carl Williams Okay, in the United States, and most of the rest of the world, the Atari Lynx was pretty much a commercial failure. While an interesting portable, it really had no chance against the cheaper Game Boy, even though that Nintendo hand held didn’t even have a color screen and the screen blurred whenever you simply […]

Prototype: Parody World: Monster Party Protoype Purchased, ROM Released and Repros on the Way
July 13th, 2014 Carl Williams Monster Party was one of those unique titles on the Nintendo Entertainment System that only saw the light of day in the United States. Couple that with the fact that the game was not exactly endearing to the Nintendo “quality” control scheme and Monster Party becomes even more of an enigma on the NES. Now, […]
