Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past and Four Swords was the Super Nintendo classic ported to the Game Boy Advance (GBA). For the most part, the original game was not changed, just minor fixes and updates. The real draw with this release was the Four Swords add-on. Unfortunately, this meant having at least […]

Arkagis Revolution Launches on Sega Genesis
September 5th, 2020 Carl Williams Arkagis Revolution proves the Sega Genesis has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Well, the 68000 CPU that powers the console does anyhow. Remember all the hype around Mode 7 when Nintendo announced the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)? Remember how Sega’s answer to that hype was to release a new add-on, the Sega CD, […]

Overhead Racing Returns with Art of Rally
August 20th, 2020 Carl Williams Art of Rally is an upcoming, overhead, racing game that calls back to simpler times. If you have played Power Drive Rally (Atari Jaguar) or Neo Drift Out (Neo Geo) then you know what to expect here. I must throw a nod at Sega Rally and the Colin McRae franchise too here (rally games have […]

Axelay Nintendo NES Port Tech Demo Released
March 26th, 2019 Carl Williams Axelay was one of those titles that Sega simply did not have anything to compare. Konami apparently did not have faith in the series either as only the lone Super Nintendo game was released – no sequels like Gradius received. Such a shame because the idea and execution of Axelay was impressive. Surely this dual […]

Ghost Blade HD Brings Indie Bullet Hell Dreamcast Game to PC
March 7th, 2017 Carl Williams Ghost Blade by Hucast games is one of those indie games that we saw years after the demise of the Sega Dreamcast. What set Ghost Blade apart from the competition was the graphics, sound, and the challenge level. Everything appeared more like an official release than an indie game developed with after the fact tools. […]

BOH Receives 17th Major Update, Has New Home
November 22nd, 2016 Carl Williams Okay, for me, BOH is a choice title. I was there discussing the game with the author, Simone Bevilacqua, early on (I believe this was round update number two). Mr. Bevilacqua has been working hard to keep BOH interesting and fun for both hardcore and new fans of the game. The list of additions and […]

Blood Omen – Legacy of Kain Sucks Blood on Playstation – November 1st, 1996 – Today in Video Game History
November 1st, 2016 Carl Williams Okay, this is one of those games that I followed in the pages of gaming magazines every month. Blood Omen – Legacy of Kain was THE game for fans of the “dark” side of gaming. Sure, Gamefan overplayed the game quite a bit with each multi-page spread they did for it. They did that for […]

Axelay Gives Gamers Both Kinds of Shooters on Super Nintendo – September 14th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
September 13th, 2016 Carl Williams Back in the day scrolling shooters were a dime a dozen. To stand out from the crowd you had to have something unique in your shooter. Just being a side or horizontal scroll shooter was not enough anymore. Konami was, at this time, kicking butt with their other games – Castlevania IV, Contra III etc. […]
