Blaster Master Making Return on Modern Hardware
November 5th, 2016 Carl Williams Back in the 8-Bit days of gaming there were a few timeless franchises. Super Mario Bros, Castlevania, Contra, Gradius (see a pattern yet?) and of course Blaster Master. While we can forget Konami updating anything they own (they own the entire Hudson Soft library including TG-16 stuff) we can count on the people behind one […]

Oddballs In Gaming: Unlimited Saga Limits the Saga by not Limiting Itself?
August 6th, 2016 Jason Santuci If a game franchise goes on long enough eventually it veers into weird territory. Unfortunately, English-speaking RPG gamers hardly know the Saga series from Square (now Square Enix). You see Square chose to have two major lines of RPG’s: the traditional JRPG Final Fantasy and their more experimental Saga series.

Revenge of the License: Five NES Games That Missed the Point
July 24th, 2016 Michael Crisman I love licensed NES games. I love the sound they make as I yank them out of my system and hurl them against the wall.

5 Games that are Too Much Game for the Hardware
May 20th, 2016 Carl Williams Gaming has always been about pushing the boundaries of the hardware. Whether it was 3D on the Sega Saturn or too many sprites on screen at one time in Gradius III on the Super Nintendo, developers have consistently pushed the envelope. Sometimes these are awesome games such as Star Fox on SNES but other times they […]

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 […]

December 19th, 2015 Carl Williams This is not a rehash of the “4 Sega Genesis Super Mario Ports You Don’t Know About” article. Instead, this article is less console specific and more varied in content covered. Here I will take a look at several of the unlicensed Mario games that have been made over the years. The platforms covered here […]

Why Robowarrior is More Survival Horror than Resident Evil
September 10th, 2015 Carl Williams When Capcom released Resident Evil for the Sony Playstation everyone was cheering this new “survival horror” genre that was just created. The problem is, this genre was older than most people remember it just didn’t have the name survival horror at the time. Sure, there were other horror games prior to Robowarrior but they were […]
