This game is so bare bones I beat it while on the loo. And not one of those epic loo sessions where time stands still and suddenly 2 hours have passed. One of those “your cheeks have barely touched the…

Right off the bat, this isn’t the worst Ninja Turtles game you’ll play. But it certainly isn’t a good one.

Super Mario Land is perhaps the worst Mario game if you discount the original arcade game. Mario Land 2 was short and sweet, and was almost as perfect as a Gameboy game could be. Now, we get a sort of spin…

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Nintendo (1993) Gameboy

I don’t like Super Mario Land 1, it wasn’t a bad game, it just didn’t capture the essence of Mario. The music was off, the physics shonkey, and it was stupidly short. I ordered SML1 and 2 at the same…

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Imagineering. (1991) Gameboy

Who remembers the film?(RAISES HAND) Who remembers the sequel with George Clooney? (RAISES HAND) Well, here you get neither. This based on the popular 90’s cartoon, and it is pretty good (the cartoon and the game).
