The Sega Genesis was arguably Sega’s best console. There, I said it. Sure, the Dreamcast was great, but Sega really shot themselves in the foot by letting it die so quickly.

My Favorite Gaming Hidden Gems, Part One: Snoopy and the Red Baron (1983, Aari 2600)
November 12th, 2017 Michael Crisman I’ve been playing and collecting video games since the early 1980’s, and while there’s something to be said for enjoying the greats of the gaming world, there’s no better feeling for me than picking out something I’d never heard of, throwing it into my system, and being unable to tear myself away from it because […]

Bandit Gaming – Gradius Sees ColecoVision Release by AtariAge
September 24th, 2016 Carl Williams Gradius is one of the iconic side scrolling shooting games that Konami kind of dropped the ball on repeatedly over the years. Sure, there were over 15 releases in the series across many platforms but the last, swan song if you will, released in 2011 was a pachislot game. What a shame, Konami. What a […]

Axelay Gives Gamers Both Kinds of Shooters on Super Nintendo – September 14th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
September 13th, 2016 Carl Williams Back in the day scrolling shooters were a dime a dozen. To stand out from the crowd you had to have something unique in your shooter.

September 7th, 2016 Michael Crisman Last year we held a combination shouting match/kumite among the staff to determine the fifteen hardest NES games, discounting Battletoads. In the end, two things happened. First, you all made it the most-read, most-shared column we’ve ever published–you rock! Second, the local hospital told us if we pulled a stunt like that again, they would ‘accidentally’ […]

August 17th, 2016 Carl Williams Back in June I covered the release of Bomb on Basic City, a new Sega Genesis game by the guy that created Papi Commando.
