I never had very many Gameboy games so never got to play Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the original black and white system, or even the Gameboy Color (because I never owned one) but when it appeared on the 3DS Virtual Console it piqued my interest, at the very least as a game to tide me [...]

I can still remember when the original Quake came out, right around the same time as Duke Nukem 3D. While Duke used the graphical style of First Person Shooters such as Doom, with its 2D sprite enemies and some sort of technical sorcery to present 3D-ish worlds, Quake was one of the earliest shooters to [...]

Without turning this little piece into a rant about how much Sonic sucks these days, I would like to say that Sonic 2 on the Megadrive is the absolute height of the series. While it may have been the originator of the stream of useless extra characters that soon followed, such as Big the Cat, [...]

It’s a bit hard to have missed out on Resident Evil, the entire series has been ported and remade so many times you’d be hard pressed to find a console made since the PSOne that doesn’t have one of the titles in its catalogue. The original game made survival horror popular. The atmosphere with zombies, [...]

Day of the Tentacle is one of those games that people will always remember. Point and click adventure games were very popular in the 90’s but the thing that made DotT special was its unique setting. You see, the entirety of the game was set within a single house with a dozen rooms, but the [...]

I admit it was incredibly tempting to write this entire thing in Banjo Kazooie garbled language. Banjo Kazooie came at a time when 3D Platformers were still relatively new. Mario 64 had shown everyone how it was done, and a multitude of cute animal starring clones were suddenly being dreamed up by other developers eager [...]
