Bandit Gaming – Aventura Updates Classic Adventure for Sega Genesis
October 24th, 2016 Carl Williams The classic Adventure on the Atari 2600 was one of those games that you either loved or hated. For many they loved it.

Sega Genesis Receives Space Rush 3 Update, Work in Progress Independent Homebrew 2D Run and Gun
September 24th, 2016 Carl Williams The Sega Genesis is one of those consoles that was built with pretty much off the shelf parts. At least early on (before Sega revised the hardware a bit) there was no real copy protection.
