Game-bit of the day 395: A Boy and His Blob 2 (Gameboy)

Game-bit of the day 394: Shaq-Fu (Genesis)

This game is appalling. There is no good reason why you should play this game for more than five minutes. If you hate someone, just give them this game.  ...

Bootleg Game of the Week 082: Windows 2000 (FC)

Here we get to a very obscure bootleg. You wouldn't believe it unless you saw it but the savvy bootleggers were able to create a Windows 2000 program for the Famicom. Of course, it's very limited and barely does anything, but it was still a very impressive choice. Speaking...

Retro Game of the Week 151: Lucienne's Quest (3DO)

This is one of the hidden gems for the 3DO. The game is one of the very few RPGs for the console and one of the very few good games on it as well. The main problem of the 3DO was the controllers. They weren't that user friendly and ridiculous at some points. Lucienne's Quest...

Game-bit of the day 391: Sonic 4 (SNES)

I've mentioned and showed this game before and it's just so interesting to see the reaction of people when they see it. Believe it or not, a Sonic game was released for the SNES. Don't get all crazy now, this game was a hack of the Speedy Gonzalez game for the same console....
