Mutant League Football, Sega Genesis Classic, Reborn as Mutant Football League for Playstation 4, Modern Platforms
August 26th, 2015 Carl Williams This is a unique news item, one that is pretty interesting for me as I figured the original was to be the start of something pretty cool.

Target Tuesday: Need For Speed III – Hot Pursuit
June 23rd, 2015 Michael Crisman Neither Retro Gaming Magazine nor any member of our staff is associated with the Target chain of retail outlets.

Revenge of the License: Indianapolis 500: The Simulation

Revenge of the License – Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels
October 5th, 2014 Michael Crisman It’s October! Tradition dictates in October that we go looking for games which go well with a Halloween theme, because what about the first half of this sentence was unclear?
