There will never be an end to games that are objectively terrible in the world of gaming. From bad design choices such as a eliminating everything which made the original great, to being an experimental game which didn’t quite execute as intended, bad games are a part of our lives. But there is one experience […]

4 Sega CD Full Motion Video Games Pushing the Envelope
May 21st, 2016 Carl Williams Full Motion Video (FMV) games are the bastard children of gaming. Gamers once were as in love with FMV games as the developers and publishers were. I myself remember the first time I saw Kingdoms, Night Trap and Cobra Command. I was dumbfounded and actually truly, deeply, wanted this new genre to be as cool […]

Popful Mail Brings Elven Bounty Hunting 2D Side Scrolling Fun to Sega CD – Today in History – February 23rd, 1995
February 23rd, 2016 Carl Williams Working Designs was a unique company, to say the least. They did the unusual, ported games others wouldn’t touch and then went all out on the packaging. This overdoing the packaging quickly became their trademark- fans knew Working Designs not only cared about the game but also how it was presented. Most of, if not […]

June 14th, 2015 Michael Crisman What with the opening of “Jurassic World” this weekend in the US, we decided to hold off on a new “Revenge of the License” column in the hopes of catching readers who just want to read about some dinosaur games. Thus, we present a re-run of Michael’s column from last year about this hidden gem […]

Grandia II Coming to Computers via Steam, No Word on Lunar Series Following
May 11th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, Grandia II has already been released on personal computers, it hit way back in 2002. This new release is based on the Sega Dreamcast version though, I am not sure what the 2002 version was based on. The main bonus material featured in the original port to PC are probably better known as bugs- […]

Who Built the Better 16-Bit Mickey Mouse Trap?
March 7th, 2015 Carl Williams For the sake of fairness here I am going to keep this comparison discussion squarely in the 16-Bit era of gaming. That means we won’t be comparing the Game Boy, Game Gear, Nintendo Entertainment System or Sega Master System versions of the Mickey Mouse games. Sure, there were plenty on those platforms, most by Capcom […]

Five Great Side Scrolling Action Games that are Not Mario
March 3rd, 2015 Carl Williams It is no secret to retrogaming fans that Nintendo single handedly revived the North American video game market with their Nintendo Entertainment System and a little game called Super Mario Bros. Nintendo was not new to the North American gaming world, they had several titles out on earlier consoles when they were, what would later […]

New Game: Five Nights At Freddy’s Shows Full Motion Video is Not Dead
August 25th, 2014 Carl Williams First, you may be wondering why we are covering Five Nights at Freddy’s here on Retro Gaming Magazine. It is simple, Full Motion Video (FMV) games go way back in gaming, to the 80’s actually. Titles like Night Trap (reboot currently looking for funding on Kickstarter) and Sewer Shark were the norm back in the […]

Kickstarter: Night Trap Revamped, it is Full Motion Video and it is Pretty Cool, Seeks Funding
August 13th, 2014 Carl Williams Anyone that has been in gaming from the early days, or at least the late 80’s, will probably remember a time when gaming tried to go Hollywood. What this meant was, actors/actresses and real world stuff was used in more and more games. Not like Mortal Kombat but actual video footage was used to make […]
