Bonk. The redheaded stepchild of gaming mascots was never quite able to gain traction. Bonk’s popularity was good enough for NEC/TTI/Hudson to release several titles based on him. We got a shooter (Zonk) and several platformers in the Bonk universe. After the demise of the Turbo Grafx-16, Hudson kept Bonk alive releasing titles for the […]

Volgarr the Viking Ported to Sega Dreamcast, Released for Free with Permission
September 27th, 2015 Carl Williams Volgarr the Viking is a newer 2D side scrolling action adventure for Microsoft’s Xbox and Steam, well it was released almost a year ago but that is still newer than Rygar or Ghouls n Ghosts, right?

New Game: Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion HD Hits Android
June 19th, 2014 Carl Williams All too often, when a company re-releases a classic title, they stick to the “inside the safe zone” method of doing it. This usually means simply updating the graphics and sound, if at all, and maybe adding some between level cinemas and calling it a day. Disney and company have gone above and beyond that […]
