Retrogaming fans are a crafty lot. They have ported games to Doom to an ATM machine for instance. We have seen demakes, we have seen remakes and everything in between. Now, we have a work in progress for the IdTech #2 (Quake 2 Engine) running on an old Atari Falcon- a computer that was released […]

Alex Kidd in Miracle World Modded to Become Radaxian Rumble for Sega Master System
May 16th, 2015 Carl Williams The Sega Master System is one of those consoles that was better than it is perceived to be by the gaming audience. Take off the Nintendo Entertainment System colored glasses and look at the SMS with a clear head and you will see it gets a worse rap than it deserves. While the game library […]

Snatcher Being Ported to Nintendo Virtual Boy by Homebrew Developer
April 19th, 2015 Carl Williams Snatcher, the digital comic that simply did not take off in North America like Konami would have liked. Honestly, I cannot feign not understanding why it didn’t sell well. First it was only available for an add-on device, the Sega CD, which did not exactly set sales records in the United States. Second, it was […]

RETRO Video Game System and the Looming Identity Crisis Within
April 18th, 2015 Carl Williams I have covered the RETRO Video Game System (RETRO VGS) several times here on Retro Gaming Magazine in the recent past. This is a purportedly new “retro” themed console in development. The RETRO VGS is co-headed by Mike Kennedy, also founder of RETRO Magazine, which is expected to expand the overall scope of the RETRO […]

Fishbone on Nintendo Virtual Boy Reminds Us of Hungry Hippo Meets Fishing with Lots of Blood
April 12th, 2015 Carl Williams This is one of the bloodiest games that you may ever play in your gaming life. I mean look at the video below, this thing is nothing but blood, blood everywhere. Okay, satire off. That description could fit every release on the Nintendo Virtual Boy, considering it only displayed shades of red and black pixels. […]

Twist It is a New Sega Dreamcast Game that Mixes Magical Drop Game Play with Fantasy Theme
April 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Sega leaving the Dreamcast open to hackers by going for protection via proprietary disc formats opened the console up to life after commercial death. While this is the main reason a lot of people feel the system failed (piracy) it is also the reason we are getting games like Magical Drop, er, Twist It and […]

Sam’s Journey Tells Mario to put up or Shut Up on Commodore 64, Nintendo Silent
April 11th, 2015 Carl Williams Super Mario Brothers never made it to the Commodore 64, though Hudson Soft did license the series for IBM PC computers. That might be why Nintendo stopped allowing their games onto other platforms, till the CD-i debacle with Zelda and Mario. That has not stopped other publishers from doing games that are quite similar to […]

Bruce Lee Gets New Sega Master System Game
April 4th, 2015 Carl Williams The Sega Master System was not a complete failure, it did sell more than the Pioneer LaserActive and the Nintendo Virtual Boy. That is like bragging about coming in third from last but it is not last, right? Anyhow, a new game is in development for the classic Sega console, a game based on Bruce […]

Robocop versus Terminator for Nintendo Entertainment System Now Available
March 25th, 2015 Carl Williams Unreleased titles that receive unofficial releases by fans are a dubious endeavor to say the least. For most gamers it is a very wide gray area that they are sometimes fine with traversing depending on the title(s) in question. For many, an unofficial Star Fox 2 on cartridge release is worthwhile, but how many feel […]
