Nintendo NES ROM Hack ‘Mega Man Redux’ Out Now With Graphical Overhaul
Although Capcom’s long-lasting platform series Mega Man has stood the test of time, we’ve often wondered how the blue bomber would fare in a Super Mario All-Stars style remake. While there may already be the chibi Mega Man Powered Up on offer for the Sony PlayStation Portable, one fan of the series has taken the […]
Konami’s Cancelled ‘Salamander’ HD Android Remaster Leaked Online
In 1986 Konami released a hugely popular spin-off to the Gradius in the arcade.

Blockbusters
If you want to know why I’m a quiz show fiend, Blockbusters could easily take as much blame as anything else. It’d come on after CITV had finished, drawing me in with brightly coloured hexagons and a jaunty theme tune, and keeping me entertained with vocabulary-based questions and the infinitely affable Bob Holness. These […]
