When Nintendo dropped the Mario universe into a kart racing engine, it was all new and unique. Sure, Nintendo expanded the Mario universe in the past with titles such as Dr. Mario but this was the first time that Mario entered into racing. Mario Kart was a hit. Fans have decided to take that hit […]

The Nintendo Entertainment System has many iconic titles available for it from the Mario series to the Mega Man games. One series that is just as iconic and also started on the NES is Konami’s Castlevania series. Today, in 1987, gamers were introduced to destroying vampires with a whip and a classic was born. Castlevania […]

The Neo Geo had a bright future early on before SNK hit fighting game gold with certain games. Titles such as Nam 1975, Baseball Stars and Neo Turf Masters led gamers to believe the Neo Geo was going to be everything to all gamers. Everyone knows that didn’t pan out and fighting games ruled the […]

Retro sales are picking up as we enter the summer months and more and more gamers are looking for that great deal to drop cold hard cash on. Companies want gamers to buy from them, especially now that there is so much overlap with games and content across stores, it boils down to customer care […]

When it came to fighting games in general there is no argument that the SNK went well out of their way to make sure the Neo Geo was covered with fisticuffs of some sort. One category that was sorely lacking though was the wrestling sub-genre, no Muscle Bomber in World Heroes just isn’t going to […]

When NEC released the Turbo Grafx-16 in North America it was instantly the underdog in gamer’s eyes. This was the first outing for NEC in this territory and for all intents and purposes, no real name brand games were available or on the horizon for this new console. NEC had a tough road to walk […]

Knuckles was one of the few secondary characters from a game to get their own game (Zero the Kamikaze squirel was another). Sega saw something in the little red echidna, enough to warrant at least one outing of his own. Too bad it was on the ill-fated Sega 32X platform and not the much better […]

Sometimes gamers take for granted living in Japan or in North America. Gamers in other countries are not so lucky as to receive “pretty decent” versions of some games, even the big names such as Final Fantasy VII on the original Playstation. The German version was riddled with typos styling errors and just way out […]
