BASIC Programming (Special Edition)
Most thrilling video game experience ever.
I was pretty young during the Atari 2600 era. I was old enough to enjoy Space Invaders, Tanks, and even Adventure. I really didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do with BASIC programming. And to tell you the tr... Read Full Review

Adventure
The granddaddy of all adventure games.
This is it, everybody. If you are a fan of the adventure genre of video games, obtaining this game somehow is an absolute must. I think it is probably available on the plug & play 2600 retro clone thing that is out now... Read Full Review

Blue Force
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
If you're a fan of the old point & click adventures, like King's Quest & Police Quest, do yourself a favor and check out this game. You can probably find an old used copy on half.com, or even a downloadable game. Actua... Read Full Review

Hang On
Good 8 bit racing game.
I was ten or so years old when I had this game, and it made me want a motorcycle. Hang On is your standard, behind the back view, racing game. But this is the first one that I played that involved a motorcycle. The gr... Read Full Review

Break Dance
If you don't like this game you're a communist.
Is this game the same as 'Break Street' ? I can't imagine there is more than one break dancing game for the c64. But then again, it was the 80's. This game was extremely cool at it's time. You play a breakdancer, and... Read Full Review

Bruce Lee
Legendary game of a legendary person.
Bruce Lee for the C64 was one of those games that on the surface really didn't look like anything special. But once you started playing, it was hard to put that one buttoned joy stick down. You play as Bruce Lee (of co... Read Full Review

The Forbidden Forest
First survival horror game?
I remember playing this game as a little kid on my brother's C64. It kind of scared the crap out of me. It was very unique for the time, it was a FPS type of perspective. The music, for the time, was scary and really ... Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

BioHazard: Code Veronica (Limited Edition)
Not good.
I already did one review of this game, in which I pointed out the major flaws and clearly stated why I felt this game deserved a low score. Gamespot decided to delete that review as "trolling". Whatever. Fact is, it's... Read Full Review

Deus Ex
Quite possibly the best game ever made.
It's been several years since I've played Deus Ex, but it still stands out in my mind as one of the best games I've ever played, if not THE best. Deus Ex succesfully mixes RPG, first-person action and adventure. It's d... Read Full Review

Major League Baseball 2K8
This game has a wealth of extra features and customization. It's too bad the core gameplay is utterly broken.
When I saw MLB 2k8 for the PSP for $5, IN 2008, that should have clued me in to something. But I was looking for something to kill many many commuting hours, and I figured a baseball game would do the trick. And to be ... Read Full Review

Pryzm Chapter One: The Dark Unicorn
I can tell you why there was never a "Chapter Two".
Yes, I'm secure enough in my masculinity to admit to the world that I bought this game, a game about Unicorns. It was a dollar, so I figured I'd at least get my money's worth. Did I? Just barely. This game stars... Read Full Review

Toobin'
You shouldn't litter.
I'm not sure what category I'd place Toobin in. Is it action? Is it racing? Is it extreme sports? Is sitting on a rubber donut and floating down the river really "extreme"? It gets a little more extreme when you add... Read Full Review
