    Columns Columns by Stuart Gipp on

    Too many times I have played a game in which the save system is disgustingly flawed. Earthworm Jim 2 -- collect three stupidly well-hidden "Pieces of the password" to save. And the save will randomly not work 80% of the time. CRAP. Tomb Raider 3 -- find a Save Crystal. Save it up and use it when the time comes. EH!?

Bison to see who the greatest fighter is, with each fighter having their own agenda other than winning some trophy. The makers of the movie took a few creative liberties, scrapping the whole tournament idea, and instead making it about a small war-torn nation that, in the dictatorial iron grip of M. Bison, has become the site of an international incident.
