Ever imagined a 3D Sonic game, minus the 3D? We are talking about Sonic 3D Blast, one of the most (in)famous installations of Sonic ever. This 1996 incarnation was one of the last games in the Megadrive/Genesis library, before it got replaced with the Sega Saturn. This game even got ported to the ...

This is a port of the classic arcade game, Space Invaders, for the Atari 2600. Although the graphics don't match up to the original arcade version, the game is still just as fun as ever as you blast away the alien invaders before they get low enough to destroy your ship.

Journey To Silius is one of the best games for the NES. A true cult classic, since it didn't gain success when it first came out. Originally, the plotline was intended to be that of the movie The Terminator, but Sunsoft lost the rights for the license, becoming a full new story instead. And an ...

Quest 64 is a breath of fresh air in the almost RPGless land of the N64. I'm not gonna lie, it's not the greatest of it's kinda and it has many flaws, but it still comes out as a pretty good RPG. First the bad: there's no plot whatsoever. You're Brian, you're looking for your father, you're a sorcerer ...

Sim City for the SNES is basically just like the computer game, only a little more simplistic. Personally I preferred the computer game as it had more options.  For those that aren't familiar with Sim City, the gameplay is simple: You are the mayor of a town, and your job is to create a city. You ...

In 1987 (for the USA) Nintendo released the two Silver Label adventure games. Metroid became very well-known and popular, but Kid Icarus did not enjoy much popularity in the USA.

Shadowrun is a RPG any classic gamer should at least try. The game has a cyberpunk feel and an intriguing, if at times strange, storyline. Some elements of the game feel unpolished but they shouldn't prove a problem if you've been playing classic games for awhile. Short&Sweet: Play as a Shadowrunner ...
