Acme Animation Factory Gives Gamers Small Taste of Cartoon Creation – November 5th, 1994 – Today in Video Game History
November 5th, 2016 Carl Williams You can tell how mainstream a console is based on the more “off the wall” titles that it received. For many this is experimental titles such as My Disney Kitchen on the original PlayStation. This can also be gauged by how many Barbie games a console has available. Let’s go back a little further and […]

Sunsoft Reminds Gamers Superman Can Die in The Death and Return of Superman – August 1st, 1994 – Today in Video Game History
July 31st, 2016 Carl Williams Sunsoft were kind of the DC Comics licensing company of video games during the early to mid 1990’s. Sunsoft brought us Batman on the Nintendo Entertainment System, on the Sega Genesis and other platforms. They also brought us Justice League Task Force in partnership with Acclaim on the Sega Genesis. This game was based on […]

Sega Genesis Receives First Batman Game – Today in Retro Gaming – July 19th, 1990
July 18th, 2016 Carl Williams Batman has always been a hot commodity in gaming. The majority of games based on the caped crusader are good. This is a contradiction to licensed games in general though as most are horrible, particularly those based on movies. The Sega Genesis version doesn’t follow the movie 100% to a “T” but there is a […]

Batman Return of the Joker is no Laughing Matter on NES – December 20th, 1991 – Today in Video Game History
December 20th, 2015 Carl Williams Besides the slight identity crisis that we saw with Batman Return of the Joker, it was also not all that well received by the fans. This was the first Batman game for Sunsoft since their debut with the license on the NES, Batman (which was quite a success on both Genesis and NES). The cards […]

Fester’s Quest for Nintendo NES Improved via ROM Hack
October 21st, 2015 Carl Williams Oh man, the crap that Sunsoft put us gamers through with Fester’s Quest on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It could fill a short novella, easily. From the cheap enemies to the colors of the bullets and those darn weapon downgraders- it was almost too much for many gamers. It was too much for a lot […]

Revenge of the License: Batman: Revenge of the Joker
August 30th, 2015 Michael Crisman What happens when one title contains the word ‘revenge’ twice? Nothing: it’s either an editorial mistake, in which case I’ll fix it a year later when all seventeen of our readers have properly derided me as an idiot, or I’m talking about a video game with ‘revenge’ in the title. This week thankfully it’s the […]

Project S-11 Blasts Aliens on the Game Boy Color – January 3rd, 2001 – Today in Video Game History
January 3rd, 2015 Carl Williams Overhead shooter games were once the great genre of gaming. No system lived without at least a handful of really good shooters having been released for it. The Game Boy Color is no different, even above the curve in may respects. Take Project S-11 which was released in 2001. That was a time when gaming […]

Retro Collectible: NES Batman Action Figure Coming
July 24th, 2014 Carl Williams Who here remembers the 1989 Batman on the Nintendo Entertainment System or the movie it was based on? Probably more than a couple of you. Well, the National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) sure does. They have done action figures for classic licensed NES characters before, such as the Jason Voorhees figure from the NES Friday […]

Batman Video Game Spreads Game Boy Wings – April 13th, 1990 – Today in Video Game History
April 13th, 2014 Carl Williams The original Game Boy was a seminal system for Nintendo. It set the pace for the hand held market and did things prior hand helds of the time couldn’t. The Game Boy was different enough to warrant millions of units sold. This helped Nintendo solidify their place in this new market. Up to this point […]
