My Top 100: #61 – Felix the Cat
From one Hudson Soft game to another… I didn’t do that on purpose, but they were definitely one of the great game developers back in the day, so long as you’re willing to forget Milon’s Secret Castle…. Read More

My Top 100: #62 – Super Adventure Island II
Of all the folks I know that grew up with 8-bit games, very few of them were as enamored with the Adventure Island series as I was. I guess it all comes down to those moments we… Read More

My Top 100: #63 – WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!

My Top 100: #68 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
My childhood was defined by four things; video games, baseball, ocean liners, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I could get pretty obsessive about whatever really struck me as fascinating. Games were obviously fun to learn about because I… Read More

My Top 100: #69 – Batman: Arkham Asylum
I feel somewhat odd including more recent titles on my list, since I haven’t really been on-the-spot with playing new releases. If a game is critically praised, or if friends urge me to try it out, I *might*… Read More

My Top 100: #70 – Kyle Petty’s No Fear Racing
Believe it or not, I wasn’t always a NASCAR fan. My sister had been to a race at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania in ’95, and it piqued my curiosity. I watched a few races here and there, but… Read More
