What happens when one title contains the word ‘revenge’ twice? Nothing: it’s either an editorial mistake, in which case I’ll fix it a year later when all seventeen of our readers have properly derided me as an idiot, or I’m talking about a video game with ‘revenge’ in the title. This week thankfully it’s the […]

Revenge of the License – Darkman
June 7th, 2015 Michael Crisman People give props to Sam Raimi for his most excellent Spider-Man film and often credit him for reviving the sagging comic book movie market, but Raimi didn’t cut his teeth on comic-like heroes with the wise-cracking webslinger. Twelve years before directing Tobey Maguire through his transformation into Kirsten Dunst’s boyfriend, Raimi put Liam Neeson through […]

Revenge of the License: Deathtrap Dungeon
April 12th, 2015 Michael Crisman Quick show of hands: how many growing up in the 1980s recall Fighting Fantasy game books? These little works of genius were the brainchild of British designers Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone and spawned a whole slew of imitators. These books took what was already awesome about the Choose Your Own Adventure novels (the idea […]

Revenge of the License: Cliffhanger
April 5th, 2015 Michael Crisman There are some games for which the Internet just cannot seem to calm its collective, relentless hate-boner. At some point, it becomes ingrained into our gaming culture that certain games suck, everyone knows it, and there’s no need to play them for yourself to decide. The committee voted it into law back before you were […]

Demake: Super Mario 64 for the Atari 2600, Yes You Read that Right
January 15th, 2015 Carl Williams When Nintendo launched their 64-Bit beast of a console it was at an interesting time. The competition were busying themselves with 32-Bit CPU’s and the games that came along with that level of graphical prowess. Nintendo decided to not even bother with the 32-Bit generation and leap frog to the next logical plateau, 64-Bit. Of […]

New Game: Alice’s Mom’s Rescue Coming to Sega Dreamcast
January 6th, 2015 Carl Williams The Sega Dreamcast is a system that, for most retro gaming fans, should not have been discontinued so quickly. This is proven again and again every time a new game comes out for Sega’s final console- we are going on nearly a decade and a half since Sega pulled the plug. HuCast Games is one […]

Revenge of the License: Eek! The Cat
November 16th, 2014 Michael Crisman There’s a part of me that wants so badly to give this game a pass, because “Eek! The Cat” was something I enjoyed watching in my pre-high school days. None dare call it groundbreaking, but “Eek! The Cat” was an enjoyable way to kill twenty minutes, and managed to attract an awful lot of celebrity […]

Today in Retro Gaming – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
October 2nd, 2014 Michael Crisman Maybe you were one of those slow adopters. You weren’t about to throw money at whomever released their 32-bit system first. You weren’t some die-hard Nintendo fanboy, you didn’t crap yourself with joy when Sega’s Saturn arrived on store shelves four months early, and you weren’t about to give that Sony upstart the time of […]
