When Capcom released Resident Evil for the Sony Playstation everyone was cheering this new “survival horror” genre that was just created. The problem is, this genre was older than most people remember it just didn’t have the name survival horror at the time. Sure, there were other horror games prior to Robowarrior but they were […]

5 New Games Prove the Commodore 64 is Not Dead
September 6th, 2015 Carl Williams The Commodore 64 was officially released in 1982, actually turning 33 years old just last month, and still has new games coming out for it. Talk about dependable.

9 Times Developers Screwed the Console Manufacturers
September 4th, 2015 Carl Williams It has not always been all happy and go lucky days in video games.

Bonk’s Revenge for the Nintendo Entertainment System Restored
September 2nd, 2015 Carl Williams Sometimes censorship in videogame is weird. Other times it is probably for the best. While I personally have no problem with upside down crosses in a game like Splatterhouse, there are people that are. Concerned parents usually have more to be worried about in that game than some background sprites. Same thing for the positioning […]

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker—Portable Espionage Action
August 30th, 2015 Adam Nelon You know, with the controversies surrounding Hideo Kojima’s discharge from Konami and the so-so sales of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, the future of this beloved franchise and its legendary creator are uncertain, but it is certain that MGSV will likely be the franchise’s swan song while still in Konami’s hands.

Atari 2600 Q*Bert Improved to be More like Arcade Version
August 30th, 2015 Carl Williams The Atari 2600 sure did try to be the arcade in your home, and for a while it was. The problem is, as time went on things improved in the arcade such as the hardware and challenge provided to the gamer. Gamers wanted more challenge, more colors, more sounds and the poor Atari 2600 just […]

August 29th, 2015 Carl Williams Street Fighter II was the one game that sealed the success of the Super Nintendo in the early 90’s. Sega simply had nothing to compete with it other than pitiful attempts that are best not mentioned in the same breath. Capcom knew they had a gold mine on their hands based on the success of […]

August 29th, 2015 Carl Williams The classic, and completely forgotten by Sega, game Alex Kidd is being ported to the Texas Instruments 99/4A computer. This is not an official port but one by a homebrew developer who just happens to be a huge Alex Kidd fanatic. Some things were sacrificed for this port, which is to be expected as the […]
