Mighty Morphin Power Rangers brought in a truckload of video games in the 16 bit days. I thought the first one for the SNES was a decent action platformer with amazing music, but it was missing the Green Ranger (how do you do that?). If you wanted your Green Ranger fix, had to pay the Sega Genesis version, and boy, did you really bite that bullet. The…

The battle between gaming’s two biggest icons was at its zenith near the end of the 16 bit era, and with new consoles on the horizon, I was looking forward to see how the Sega Saturn would put together a worthy adversary to opposite the wildly successful Super Mario 64.

It's time to take another look at where I think the meat and potatoes of the 16-bit console wars truly lie, and that's two completely different ports of Aladdin. The Sega Genesis version, developed by Virgin Games, is widely regarded as the superior version, and arguably one of the best video games on the console, with little mention of the merits of…

Yes, that's read correctly. The seventh entry in Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and Sega's critically acclaimed open world beat'em up action game, titled Whereabouts of Light & Darkness, will center its combat around turn-based mechanics. This was certainly seen as very unexpected, to say the least.

The main protagonist will also be…

Because I grew up loving Kaiju like Godzilla, I always wanted a 16 bit tournament fighter featuring the larger than life creatures that I could control at my whim.

Some games, man, some games. Circus Caper ranks as one of those NES titles I'd sum up as obnoxious.
