RETRO REBOOT - R.C. Pro-Am (NES)

R.C. Pro-Am is one of the early innovators of vehicular combat games. It's got quite a lot of play in our house and for a very straightforward concept, this has very high replay value.

RETRO REBOOT - The Uncanny X-Men (NES)

My list of games I genuinely hate is relatively small compared to, say, movies. Even when it comes to bad video games, I have a soft spot for them because they provide me with some form of amusement.
