  • Rocket Knight (PC)

    Reviews Reviews by Stuart Gipp on Comments2

    This is the most difficult review I will ever write. Don't get me wrong—I know exactly what I feel about Rocket Knight, the long-awaited new adventure for one of the 16-bit generation's cult heroes.

  • Bonanza Bros. (SG)

    Reviews Reviews by Shawn Sackenheim on

    Bonanza Bros. sticks closely to the early '90s game design bible, which states, “Thou shalt not burden thine audience with a story.”

  • Ecco: The Tides of Time (SG)

    Reviews Reviews by Casey Levine on

    Dolphins are cool, but time-traveling dolphins that can shape-shift and battle aliens are cooler.

  • Super Battleship (SG)

    Reviews Reviews by Paul Franzen on

    If you bought Super Battleship and you expected more than you got, it's YOU who has the problem, man, not Super Battleship.

  • The Ten GameMandments: Book 1: Sega Genesis

    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!? And don't even get me started on typewriters and ink ribbons.

    If it is indeed true that "art imitates life", then the real world must be a pretty freaky place.

  • Aero the Acro-Bat (SG)

    Reviews Reviews by Stuart Gipp on

    The flying mouse with attitude who completely failed to set the world on fire.

  • Great Moments in Gaming #4

    Columns Columns by Stuart Gipp on

    Playing Abe's Oddysee, you are tramping around Rupture Farms, experimenting with the buttons. You press a certain button combination and a flatulent sound is heard. Your brain goes into joy-spasms. Did --- did the lead character just FART? You try it again. Abe farts again. You cry tears of joy. Then you find a sleeping enemy and fart on him. He instantly wakes up and fillets you. You don't care --- ABE CAN, NAY, MUST FART AT WILL. When you find out that flatulence is integral to beating the game, you just laugh even harder.

    Forget the T-Rex—the only species worth its salt was the Radical Rex.
