Virtual On: Cyber Troopers is a 3D Mech combat game from Hitmaker and Sega. The game pits two gigantic robots against each other armed with lasers, missiles, swords and various other weapons. These mechs can run, walk, jump and even climb on various buildings to get a better shot at the opponent. Much like tank […]
While the Neo-Geo may be primarily known for its great library of 2D fighting games, the powerhouse system also has a number of unique games that are filled with great gameplay. Windjammers (aka Flying Power Disc in Japan) is not your typical SNK game, but it is a wonderful sports-like title that is one of […]
Some people like me are happy playing their NES ROMs on their Dreamcast or other emulation machine.

They said it could never be done. The Neo Geo was too intense of a console and most Neo Geo ROMs were just too big for the Sega Dreamcast to handle. Just a year or two ago, skeptics insisted that because of these reasons, it wasn’t even worth the time to think about making a […]
The NES is definitely one of the most popular consoles to mod. Over the last year we’ve seen a number of things like an NES turned into a PC, and NES DVD player, and much more. However kotami, one of France’s (if not one of the world’s) premier console hackers has put together one of […]

Even though I was a Sega fan once the 16-bit era kicked in, I still enjoyed flipping though issues of Nintendo Power.

Almost every gamer has had trouble with a scratched CD or DVD at some time. (Or maybe you only need to fix your carts?) If a CD or DVD is scratched, the drive will obviously have problems reading the disc, increasing reading errors and causing some gameplay frustration. Or in the case of Sega Saturn […]
Many of you are aware of the fact that I’m a huge Treasure fan. Well, I was very excited to stumble upon this little project while I was researching something on Google.

As the first installment of my Games That Pushed the Limits: Portable Edition, I chose to take on the games for both the original Gameboy and the Gameboy Color.

Treasure was founded When a number of developers working for Konami broke away to found their own company to pursue their own dreams of creating original games. Their first commercial project from their new development house was an original run-and-gun game named Gunstar Heroes. It’s ironic that such a revered title could be so simple […]
In the time right before the N64 release, Sonic Team’s challenge was to figure out how to take the traditional 2D videogame experience, and bring it into a three-dimensional world.
