Bandit Gaming: Fatal Fury Final Mixes the SNK Classic with Final Fight Brawling Plus More
February 23rd, 2015 Carl Williams For many, these types of releases are not worth their time since these releases use ripped sprites and music from the source material. For those readers I can safely say that Fatal Fury Final will probably not change your mind on the matter. Now, for those that are looking for something a little different, Fatal […]

Retro Review – Godzilla Domination – Game Boy Advance
June 29th, 2014 Carl Williams When I first discovered Godzilla Domination, I was apprehensive about it. I was a dyed in the wool fan of King of Monsters fan from way back when it first hit arcades (and later certain home consoles). One thing that constantly came to mind while play KoM oh so many years ago was how cool […]

King of the Monsters 2 Brought Kaiju Action to Neo Geo – May 25th, 1992 – Today in History
May 25th, 2014 Carl Williams King of the Monsters 2 brings Kaiju battles to arcades, and your home. It is a rule of gaming, when one game is a hit, there must be a sequel to capitalize. SNK was no different in this regard. Their unstopped rampage through fighting games on the Neo Geo system proved this. As the system […]

Review: Metal Slug Defense on Android
May 4th, 2014 Carl Williams SNK Playmore are opening up a bit with their games, proof being this one, Metal Slug Defense for Android and iOS. This is not the normal Metal Slug all-out action that gamers are used to but instead, the Metal Slug world retrofitted into a Tower Defense engine. The funny thing is, it works.

April 26th, 2014 Carl Williams The Neo Geo had a bright future early on before SNK hit fighting game gold with certain games.

3 Count Bout Wrestles Neo Geo into Submission – April 23rd, 1993 – Today in History
April 23rd, 2014 Carl Williams SNK went well out of their way to make sure the Neo Geo was covered with fisticuffs of some sort. From one-on-one to scrolling brawlers the Neo Geo had you covered. One category that was sorely lacking though was the wrestling sub-genre. No, Muscle Bomber in World Heroes just isn’t going to cut it. 3 […]

Metal Slug Brings Super Detailed Sprite Art to Arcades – April 19th, 1996 – Today in History
April 19th, 2014 Carl Williams Sprite work in titles like Metal Slug will always overshadow their release date in history. While consoles continue to get more powerful, detailed sprite work will often age quite well. SNK knew going in with the Neo Geo that arcades were going to be important. Arcades represented the largest market share for the console, and […]
