2D-X’s Games of Summer retrospective continues with a look back at the Donkey Kong Country series, a game that brought three brothers together during school recess.
In an age where everything old is new again, Hollywood has taken aim at yet another beloved childhood property—Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Hyperkin’s latest offering has a three cartridge slot design that allows it to accept NES, SNES, and Genesis games.
Although it doesn’t have the hall of fame players (at least by name) the classic, simplistic gameplay packs enough lighthearted punch that will keep fans playing for hours on end.
Sure, Super NES was totally awesome and you don’t only want to play them on flash, but would you be willing to blow $700 on the thing? Now, you may really love your Super Mario Bros or Batman Returns, but we’re in a recession here and $700 seems like quite a lot considering that you can play all those games for free these days.

Some young’uns reading this may be a lil’ too green to remember Ken Griffey, Jr. before he wore the Mask of the Cincinnati Reds Death. If you’re one of those unfortunate few, and you’d like to witness a portion of his greatness, check out Griff’s self-titled cartridge for the SNES. Although game companies of that [...]
B-ball fans frequently forget the greatness that was Latrell Sprewell. Before he exited Golden State for wringing the neck of then-couch P.J. Carlisimo, and before he wanted a boost to his $10 million per year salary because he needed to “feed his family”, Spree was looking like a future NBA Hall of Famer. In fact, [...]
Tecmo may have permanently cemented itself into the hearts of sports gamers with Tecmo Bowl/Tecmo Super Bowl (NES), but the company also dabbled into a rather lively, arcade-style game of hoops with Tecmo NBA Basketball (NES) and Tecmo Super NBA (Genesis/SNES). Besides the out-of-control rips, there wasn’t much in the way of defense, which made [...]
