Review – Blood: Refreshed Supply
This seems familiar. Not even a year after I played through Blood: Fresh Supply, Nightdive is back with an updated version. I wish someone would have warned me. Maybe I should ask them next time I'm thinking about starting a '90s shooter.

Review – Outlaws: Remaster
It's always a good day when a Nightdive remaster is involved. This time, they've touched up one of LucasArts most unique first-person shooters. And while it is mostly just obscure due to being sandwiched between Quake and Half-Life, there are other reasons why you may have never heard of it.

Review – Blood: Fresh Supply
I love Ken Silverman’s Build Engine. I toyed around with it when I was a kid, and I recall a period in early adulthood where I dove into its inner workings, as well as Silverman’s other projects. It is the perfect 2.5D engine, with the right balance of limitations and sophistication. But I only really played Duke Nukem 3D. Well,…

Review – WCW vs. nWo: World Tour
I've been watching old WCW, usually in another window while I write. If nothing else, it adds a lot of context to AKI's first two N64 wrestling games. Now I know who all these muscular people are.

Review – Cruis’n World
Some of Cruis'n USA's rather wrongheaded choices contributed to a vision and personality that you won’t find in Cruis’n World. If you take out some of the awful jank, you lose part of its identity, as we see with Cruis’n World.

Review – Goldeneye 007 (N64)
Goldeneye 007 is a certifiable classic. It was a phenomenon back when it released. However, for all the things it did extremely well, a lot of it hasn't aged favourably. If any game needs an HD remaster, it's this one. Unfortunately, it looks like we just barely missed out on one.

Review – Doom 64
Doom 64 is Doom... On the N64. Except not anymore, and not really. It's actually its own distinct entry in the Doom series, and now you can find it more places than just on the N64. For a console spin-off by a completely different team, it's great beyond all reason and logic.

Review – Turok
If you were there for the early days of the N64, it was hard to miss Turok. The first-person shooter was still relatively new, and one that was all polygons? Even newer. There isn't much else to play, there's a dinosaur on the cover; welcome to Turok.

Review – Chameleon Twist
Aside from my unquenchable thirst for collecting game cartridges that I’ve yet to play, my only motivation for picking up Chameleon Twist was memories of playing it alongside my mother when I was a youngster. Upon starting the game, I found this to be confusing because, although some images from the game neatly fit my memory such as the cookie…

Review – Mega Man X4
There were six games of the classic Mega Man series released on the NES, the last one arriving as late as 1994. That’s pretty far past the launch of the SNES and even came after the release of the inaugural Mega Man X game. So was Capcom going to pull the same thing with the SNES and release up to…
