When it comes to Dick Tracy and video games, people generally think of the NES game developed by Bandai because they saw people like the Angry Video Game Nerd and Game Grumps, among many others I’m sure, riff on it in a YouTube video. Unfortunately for Dick Tracy, people picked the wrong title to showcase for their video productions as there’s a…
I’ve talked about a lot of games based upon comic book properties, but never once have I covered a game that’s set inside a comic book. To rectify this, today I’m going to be talking about Comix Zone, a game that while not based on a comic book property is a must-play title for fans of comic books, video…
Since I started thinking about making this site and actually putting it into action, I’ve accumulated A LOT of comic book themed games, primarily on consoles running through the NES up to the PS4. I haven’t sat down to count them lately, but right now the number is some where over 100, perhaps even several…
Batman Returns on the NES is a pretty terrific game. Batman Returns on the SNES is a fantastic game. Batman Returns on the Sega Genesis is one of those constant reminders of why I’m forever grateful that I owned a SNES growing up as opposed to Sega’s machine that I wished I had after being…

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…
The Sunsoft produced Batman NES games in my opinion were two of the best games on the system: They have great graphics, tight play control, a phenomenal soundtrack, and just the right amount of difficulty to get your pulse pounding, but not quite enough to make you throw your controller at the floor. Upon finishing…
Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of the release of the Sega Genesis, also known as the Mega Drive in other parts of the world, in North America. To celebrate the life of the little black box that gave the “Big N” a run for their money in the 90’s, I’m going to look at ways…
Man, that cover, just…wow. The Punisher looks like he’s going to jump off the box and swallow you whole. Before I get into talking about this game, I’m going to lay out some things. This game is a conversion of an arcade game, however growing up, I didn’t have a local arcade, the closest was…
