When it comes to tracking down retro games, normally the ones with higher price tags are the rare and treasured gems that are simply so good that those who own them either don’t want to part with them, or will only do so if a healthy profit is involved. Sometimes however, an older game will…
Sunsoft perhaps gave us one of the largest number of Batman games of any company. There first outing, Batman: The Video Game on the NES, was an example of how great a Batman game can be, and stands as one of the all time classics in the NES library. Given how well that game turned out,…
How do you make something awesome, move it to arguably superior hardware, and then somehow make it worse?!! This is the case with Batman: Revenge of the Joker, a carbon copy of the excellent Batman: Return of the Joker on the NES. Walking into this game I had two assumptions: The first that this was going…
I was tagged in a Facebook post this morning and asked to list ten games as quickly as I can that stuck with me. Presently I’m not in a space in which to respond to that post, so instead I’m going to run with the idea and put my own special twist on it, so…

“Blair,” you say, “you’ve seen the video, right?” Of course I’ve seen the video, it’s one of my favorite ones. So why then did I subject myself to the maddeningly difficult Silver Surfer? Well the reason is two-fold. Firstly, I’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment challenging myself with the games I’ve been playing for this…
This game. I’ve been waiting a llllloooonnng time to get my hands on this game. I remember seeing ads with screenshots in them for this game in issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly around the time it was coming out. I desperately wanted to play it and checked my local video store and gas stations to…
