Everyone remembers Night Trap. It was a ridiculous game for a failed peripheral that eventually made its way right into both the annals of gaming history and… Our hearts. It’s regarded as a cult classic, and even though the Sega CD didn’t do well enough for this…
It’s amazing how few side-scrolling shooters I see these days. Back in the days of Gradius, it seemed like everyone was trying to get in on this sweet, sweet action, but the genre’s died off a little bit. Another thing has died off as well, although…

Hey there, folks! We’ve been trying to keep on top of all the news lately, but in all honesty, it clogs up the process a bit around here, and it makes the site harder to use for all of our kind readers, so starting today…
