Retro Review: “Truxton” (1989, Toaplan, Sega Genesis)
One of my all-time favorite genres is the scrolling shoot-em-up, commonly referred to as shmups. The feeling of drifting along, collecting power-ups and clearing everything in your path with a hail of gun-fire is an exhilarating experience. Being a fan of a genre, it’s always a pleasure to discover new classics that might’ve added a […]

To other gamers it’s a cancer to the gaming industry. Meanwhile those who do not play video games will have likely heard about […]

Retro Review: “Jaws” (1987, LJN, NES)
By Michael Mygind Next to Super Mario Bros and Blaster Master, Jaws was probably the game that I remember most from my childhood. It was simplistic and felt like an arcade port. But, it gets a bad rap for what I feel are its strengths. It was loosely based off “Jaws: The Revenge” and was […]
