Gangster Town
Review - Master System
February 05, 2012
Gangster Town may be a fun place to visit, but you don't want to spend too long there. This simple light gun game offers one of the most compelling settings imaginable, but is hamstrung by its lack of depth. Thankfully a few incredible moments make up for an otherwise pedestrian light gun shooter. Find out what Cyril thinks when you read his full review of Gangster Town for the Sega Master System!
Rockin' Kats
Review - NES
February 05, 2012
Willy is a jazz cat on a mission! Despite having one of the worst names imaginable, Rockin' Kats ends up being a platforming gem on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This 8-bit Atlus game has a great sense of character, memorable level designs, fun bad guys and just enough diversity to keep you going from start to finish. Find out what Cyril thinks when you read his full review of Rockin' Kats for the Nintendo Entertainment System!

The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World
Review - NES
February 04, 2012
To help celebrate the release of The Simpsons: Arcade Game, Defunct Games has decided to take a look back as some of Bart's 8-bit outings. Here the lone Simpson son goes on a treasure hunt across the globe in Bart vs. the World. Watch him skateboard off the Great Wall of China and become a star in Hollywood in this mediocre action game. Find out what Cyril thinks in his full review of Bart vs. the World for the NES!
Remote Control
Review - NES
February 04, 2012
Remote Control is more than Jeopardy for morons; it's a surprisingly addictive trivia game with a fast pace and solid gameplay. It's also one of the best game show adaptations for the Nintendo Entertainment System. If you love 1980s trivia, then check out Cyril's full review of Hi-Tech's Remote Control!
