Review: World 1-1
January 18th, 2015 Carl Williams Gaming has been involved in general culture since they were first introduced to players. We have seen movies feature games in the background, sometimes in the spotlight of scenes, but few documentaries have been produced on our favorite hobby. Thanks to independent film makers, Jeanette Garcia and Daryl Rodriguez, we can add World 1-1 to […]

Wacky Wednesday – Hellraiser (NES)
December 2nd, 2014 Michael Crisman Some things are such obviously bad ideas we don’t even bother considering them unless it’s a matter of life and death. They aren’t things we have to consciously reject; without someone pointing them out, they’re not even going to pop up on our radar (which is why a guy can walk past a full sink […]

Bandit Gaming: Hook for Atari 8-Bit Work in Progress
November 9th, 2014 Carl Williams Hook, the movie starring the late Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, was a decent flick. The movie was better than the games that were made for it (though the SNES and Sega CD versions had awesome soundtracks). For an intellectual property that is over 100 years old, the story holds up quite well, partly thanks […]

Five Side Scrolling Game Boy Advance Games You Shouldn’t Miss This Holiday Season
November 1st, 2014 Carl Williams Sure, the Game Boy Advance is an older portable and can be had for quite a cheap price now so that makes it the perfect gift for a cash strapped family that have gamers in the house wanting to game on the go.

Game Hack- Ghostbusters Not Only Back in Theaters but also Receive Color Fix on Sega Genesis
August 29th, 2014 Carl Williams Since Ghostbusters is being re-released in theaters to celebrate its 30th anniversary, we figured it would be a good time to mention this color hack for their Sega Genesis game. The original suits in the 16-Bit game were not quite “true” to the movie props and now a fan has taken it upon themselves to […]

Revenge of the License: Cobra
August 17th, 2014 Michael Crisman One year before Peter Weller stalked the streets of Old Detroit as Robocop in his mission to eradicate crime, Sylvester Stallone and his mirrored shades stalked the streets of Los Angeles as Detective Marion “Cobra” Cobretti, AKA “the strong arm of the law.” And just as they did with Robocop later on, Ocean waved some […]

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 […]
