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 – La-Mulana
Completing La-Mulana without a guide is a feat of strength. That's probably why I couldn't do it. After an unsuccessful run some years ago, I tried again on another console and with a begrudged willingness to get outside help. It went a lot better this time.

Dating Adzuken – Amber’s Magic Shop
The technical difference between an actual dating sim and a romantic visual novel largely just comes down to stats. In a dating sim, you build up stats and go through a progressive calendar. Amber's Magic Shop is a dating sim, but rather than just straight stats, it has a much more interesting approach.

Review – Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer
Episode I was a travesty, and I accept no arguments. On the plus side, we got some great games. My favourite is Star Wars: Episode I: Racer, based on that stupidly ostentatious scene from the movie. So much suggests this game would be bad, but it's quite the opposite.

Dating Adzuken – Seduce Me
Have you heard of Diabolik Lovers? Don't look it up. Anyway, Seduce Me is like that but a mansion full of Incubi. It's also substantially less sexy. Like, it has sexual themes, but it's negatively arousing. I tried my best here, but I'm not sure any of us are going home with a boner.

Dating Adzuken – Pub Encounter
Taking a diversion from the normal schoolday dating sims, it's time to look at a romantic visual novel with real men. By which I mean, anime men that are old enough to legally drink. I don't know if maturity is what I'm looking for, because goodness knows I'm lacking in that department.

Review – River City Girls
I like River City Ransom. I'm a girl. Get me on that bus. While River City Girls doesn't adopt the log-arms of the Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun/Downtown/River City series, it does have a significant amount of colour and charm to make up for it. I'm just of the opinion that it doesn't play quite as well.

Dating Adzuken – True Love
Finally, and actual adult dating sim. Adult in the sense that it has sexual themes. It's still schoolyear romance. True Love says it takes place during college, but I'm not entirely convinced. Pretty sure those are high school uniforms. But, whatever. Do you think there will be nudity? You might be surprised.

Review – KukkoroDays
Oh, hey! More perv stuff! Not sure what kind of mood I was in back in those days, but I'm sure it was less horny and more interested in doing something different. But, hey, at least I bumped into some actually decent ecchi romance stories. Those were some good times.
