Author: sull56ivan2010 Once 1993 came along, companies were looking for the next Sonic the Hedgehog immediately. There were many attempts and they either fizzed out or had a few titles. But most were gone by the time newer generation hardware arrived in the mid 90s. Sunsoft threw their hat into…
Author: sull56ivan2010 There’s a lot of things that can be said for Bill Laimbeer. He was one of the main reasons the late 80s Detroit Pistons were considered the Bad Boys. They were some of the roughest defenses teams like the Celtics, Bulls, and Knicks had to deal with.…
Author: sull56ivan2010 Most people are aware of the NHL series as far as 16-bit systems go. It is one I love on the Genesis and there are a few on the SNES I’ve gotten great enjoyment out of; especially the ’96 edition during my senior year of high school back…
Author: sull56ivan2010 The Bases Loaded series is something I haven’t been huge on as far as discovering older sports games. Regarding the first ones on NES, they are okay, but the fielding was kind of shoddy. It had the presentation, looking like a game on TV, but not the greatest…
Author: sull56ivan2010 In the 90s, there was a push for nostalgia. Digital Eclipse was paving the way with tons of arcade ports from a number of Atari, Midway, and Williams games. Namco was doing its Namco Museum series. In between all that was Frogger. A lot of things happened…
Author: sull56ivan2010 Not too long after the first movie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York went into theaters in November 1992. Its numbers weren’t as strong (still good considering it made over 170 million) and it was widely panned. However, it’s still liked by many. The video…
Author: sull56ivan2010 If you were to ask me my favorite video game of all time, that answer would be Doom. I loved the games since playing a shareware version of the original on Windows 95 back in 1995-96. Finding the DOS original on abandonware has rekindled my interest in…
Author: sull56ivan2010 Out of all the licenses Konami ever had, Tiny Toon Adventures is one of their best ones. Konami games on NES, Genesis, and Game Boy all had solid efforts put into them. On SNES, it was no different. Buster Busts Loose is an excellent game. The last of…
Author: sull56ivan2010 Personally, I find Midway overrated. Their sports lineup, for the most part, doesn’t wow me compared to games from EA, Sega, and a handful of other companies. That being said, NBA Jam is one of the very few exceptions. The blockbuster 1993 arcade game got its ports handled…
Author: sull56ivan2010 I doubt anyone was expecting John Hughes’ Home Alone to be the highest grossing film of 1990 domestically. Despite a not so warm reception from critics (better than any of the sequels), Home Alone and the 2nd one are beloved by many and are cherished 90s…
