We all have that one friend. The friend who has a Sega instead of a Nintendo or a Colecovision instead of an Atari. This friend tends to lean towards the obscure and likes to talk about “alternative” versions of mainstream titles. Deciding on which game to play with this friend can be a total pain […]

Six Retro Alternative Sports Games That Never Get Old
February 4th, 2017 Michael Crisman Yeah, let’s hear it for some good old-fashioned SPORTSBALL, beeyotch!! Look, you either love sports games, or you love to point out how much money EA makes repackaging and re-selling the same game (sometimes literally) to players year after year.

Mega Man Soccer Replaces Blasters with Soccer Balls on Super Nintendo – Today in History – April 2nd, 1994
April 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams Nintendo has shown over the years that there is quite a bit of money to be made in iconic characters doing uncharacteristic things. Mario started as a girder climber, then a running and jumping plumber. Eventually Mario saw a short career in pharmaceuticals and even racing. Capcom was paying attention around 1993 when Mega Man […]

Bases Loaded Strikes out Competition on Nintendo NES – Today in History – April 1st, 1991
April 1st, 2016 Carl Williams Ah, sports games. This is a genre that I have done my best to avoid in these historical articles. The reason being, for the most part, sports games don’t age well. Bases Loaded is one of the few that, while not having aged well, still holds a great place in my heart as a gamer. […]

Revenge of the License: Boxing Games and Karma
February 28th, 2016 Michael Crisman Humanity has some personality quirks we’ve spent the last several thousand years failing to breed out of existence. Chief among these is our desire to watch one person pulverize another in combat. No less a philosopher than the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 remarked of the human race, “It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.” Once […]

Yesterday in Gaming History: “Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2” or “BMX PG”
September 7th, 2015 Colby Primeaux Until its demise in 2004, Acclaim, had the only legitimate claim to be a rival to Activision’s action sports franchise, although with a roster not nearly as deep.
