Wolverine: Adamantium Rage (SNES) – Review – Mutant Healing vs. 16-Bit Pain

Is Wolverine – Adamantium Rage the 16-bit era’s adamantium-tipped secret weapon, or is it the videogame equivalent of slicing open a can of spam with Logan’s claws only to find somebody already ate the good bits? (Rhetorical question, obviously I finished the can anyway.) The 1994 Super NES cart lands somewhere between cult curio and full-on fever […]

Veil of Darkness (PC) – Where the Butcher Howls at Midnight

Is Veil of Darkness baffling pulp or straight-laced classic? Spoiler: it dresses in both outfits, velvet cloak draped over surplus flight jacket, and waltzes into your DOSBox installation with a grin that says, “Yes, I know my UI looks like a Victorian curio shop, fight me.” Under-rated or over-rated? Absolutely, in the same way garlic can be both a super-food

EcoQuest 2: Lost Secret of the Rainforest (PC, 1993) – Review – The Quest That Runs on Eco-Points

Is EcoQuest 2: Lost Secret of the Rainforest the righteous, compost-fueled sequel the early-’90s deserved, or just a well-meaning PSA wearing a floppy-disk mask? Rhetorical question, answer incoming anyway: both.

Wordtris (SNES) – Review – The Puzzle Cartridge That Makes Tetris Look Easy

Picture Tetris raiding a public library after hours, stuffing its pockets with vowels, and sprinting toward the nearest Super Nintendo. That, in a nutshell, is Wordtris: falling-block fundamentals fused to a spelling bee that never remembered to take its Ritalin. Bizarre or classic? Both, classic in its well-shaped DNA, bizarre in the way it forces you to pray for

World Cup Striker (SNES) – Over-Caffeinated Answer to Pre-FIFA Football

Is a soccer cart that lets you bicycle-kick from midfield, edit a 3-5-2 diamond on battery back-up, and cram four sweaty friends onto one floral couch a bizarre relic or an unsung classic? (Spoiler: it’s both, so don’t play coy.) World Cup Striker, pal-region face of Rage Software’s Striker engine, rechristened Elite Soccer in the USA, landed in late 1993, months before
