If you owned a Sega Megadrive in the 90s, you have no doubt played Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2, the often copied but never equaled beat-em-ups that enthralled kids and adults alike. Not only were the games smash hits, the soundtracks were too. Composed and produced by Yuzo Koshiro, Kyoji Kato, and […]
Actually, that title is a bit misleading – the ultimate Dreamcast controller would be one that added a second analogue stick on the right hand side… but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The Dreamcast is a console that was officially cancelled by Sega in 2001, but here in 2015 it is a system that continues […]
Believe it or not but the 16-bit classic Super Mario World can be beaten in a mere few minutes. While this speedrun may rely on taking advantage of the console’s memory and forcing it to run beneficial glitches, pulling them off without an emulator is anything but easy. With countless gamers fighting for the fastest […]
We’re big fans of Theme Hospital – we love treating the ridiculous diseases such as Bloaty Head, King Complex and Hairyitis (something that Nick seems to be in the early stages of at present). If you’re similarly enamoured with the excellent sequel to Theme Park, you may wish to have a look at EA’s Origin […]

It was of course Mario which captivated and encouraged people to buy the system; he was Nintendo’s all-jumping non-shaving star. Shamefully it overshadowed this equally excellent “flight-sim” from Paradigm Entertainment. Admittedly […]
Fans of Sega RPGs beyond Phantasy Star (and anyone out there who’s unlocked all the characters in Fighters Megamix) should be delighted to know that after the longest time, the weird Mega Drive RPG developed by the legendary AM2, Rent-a-Hero, has finally been fan-translated.
Sometimes, you know a game is going to be amazing from the second you clap eyes on it, but what we’ve always liked is a surprise classic – one of those games you don’t have much anticipation for, but which wins you over. It’s fair to say that Twisted Metal: World Tour falls into the […]
Many readers know that I have a deep love for Capcom’s Strider, but not everyone (unless you read issue 50) knows why that is. When I was young I was a bit of a loner and had very little to do with my peers, mainly because I’d be beaten up for enjoying nature and going […]
Author: Masamune Years ago when I was in high school, I happened upon a cart of Batman Forever on the Sega Genesis laying helplessly on the sidewalk amid a gloomy, rainy day. I thought to myself “how could anyone be so careless as to accidentally drop a video … Continue reading
Following on from a year packed to the brim with unreleased video games surfacing and being preserved in ROM format, it would appear that yet another missing 16-bit title is due to be made available. Rose Colored Gaming appear to have obtained a prototype copy of Shadowhawk for the Super Nintendo, something they’re gearing up […]
