You might have heard about the 2008 return of American Gladiators. You might even remember the 90s original, or the spin offs, like Gladiators in the UK, or International Gladiators. If not, I can sum it up pretty concisely; two male and two female contestants face off in quirky events against a gallery of bodybuilders […]
I remember being interested in Dracula Unleashed when it was released, despite not really knowing anything about it, or chasing down information in the gaming rags. An FMV adventure in the world of Dracula sounded like something I’d dig. It turned out to be one I never got around to picking up, and so to […]

I remember Batman Returns distinctly as it was one of two games I picked up when I purchased the Sega CD. Title selection was still short, cheap cardboard packaging was still being used, and the console still retained its initial wonderment – i.e. its reputation hadn’t yet been sullied by FMV and lack of support.

Sierra’s mainstays (Larry, Space Quest, King’s Quest) are well known, but they weren’t short on other games in 90’s. Manhunter, Willy Beamish, and this very game represent a few more “un-pursued” franchises. Appearing first on the PC, Rise saw an enhanced CD port back when the Sega CD was suffering a dearth of quality adventures. The […]

Wirehead represents MGM Interactive’s foray into the house that Digital Pictures built. I understand the logic in their thinking. “Movie games” were becoming a buzzword, MGM knows about movies, and they can hire someone else to take care of the game. This logic led them to a partnership with Sega, and probably should have resulted […]

Bram Stoker’s Dracula was one of those early 90’s supermovies that earned a lot of hype for both its cast and its source. A blockbuster Oscar-potential flick directed by Francis Ford Coppola was expected to do well. The game based on the film was obviously on the way. You play as Jonathan Harker, loosely following […]
