This (2024), has been an interesting year for me. I have dedicated the entire year to hunting down N64 cartridges that are still missing in my collection, all while playing some of the newest games around. My year ends with a Sega Saturn purchase, and a general 1990s vibe. But what was the year in…

Many wondered if the software giant would use its considerable (if not nearly infinite) financial reserves to match, and eventually choke Sony out of the hardware…
September 9, 1999 will mark both the 25th anniversary of the Sega Dreamcast, and of Squaresoft’s Final Fantasy VIII launching in North America. Sporting a Metacritic score of 9.0, Final Fantasy VIII is the lowest rated PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy game. The fact that a game with a 9.0 rating is the lowest scoring game…
Since Sony’s industry changing entry into the home console market in the mid 1990s, Nintendo hasn’t been able to recover its pre Playstation market domination. Nintendo was surprisingly successful with the Nintendo Wii. That said, Nintendo’s motion controlling wonder system was popular with elderly homes and younger kids. Nintendo lost a lot of core gamers…
