November 2006

Well it's later than I'd like, but we're still on track for quarterly updates. Hopefully the next update will be more timely and feature more than four reviews...

This month, Eric reviews Missile Command for the 2600 and Bomberman on Turbo Grafx. Ben reviews Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow on DS and God of War on PS2.

In shock boxes, another Neo-Geo game gets the full frontal insert treatment: Neo Mr. DO!

Most Wanted also gets an update, with a list of not yet released games that our editors are most excited about.

I dunno about you, but I can hardly wait to try out Twilight Princess on Wii. I was worried about the controls, but the recent "in depth" previews all seem positive.

September 2006

New insert added for Samurai Shodown V Special.

August 2006

Big Shock Box Insert Update!
Three brand new inserts: Blazing Star, Shock Troopers and Waku Waku 7.

Four inserts now in Full Frontal versions: King of Fighters 2002, Overtop, Puzzled and Thrash Rally.

Seven inserts with better artwork or new variants: King of Fighters 2002 (two versions) , Metal Slug 5 (three versions), Ragnagard and Samurai Shodown 2.

In addition, all inserts now have the pink "O" corrected and all stripe colors have been standardized. Inserts are now presented in alphabetical order.

July 2006

Eric reviews Me & My Katamari for PSP & Ristar on the Game Gear, while Ben reviews three games with abnormally long titles: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PSOne), Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) and Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

Most Wanted also gets an update, with a list of what games our editors are excited about after this year's E3.

Several Shock Box Inserts are coming soon including Shock Troopers and a brand new Waku Waku 7. I will be retiring or updating the following inserts in a couple of weeks so grab them now: Blue's Journey, Magical Drop 2, Ragnagard, Samurai Shodown II and Waku Waku 7.

March 2006

Eric reviews Gaiares, Rocket Knight Adventures & Toki for the Genesis, while Ben reviews League Bowling & Metal Slug for the Neo-Geo as well as Picture Puzzle for the Neo-Geo Pocket Color.

In Features, I finally added the transcription of Atarian's second issue—the ill-fated Atari propaganda rag of the late 80s. The first issue has been fleshed out as well. Look for the third and final issue sometime in the future...

Most Wanted is a new feature, tracking the top ten most wanted games of our editors. See if our taste in games matches yours! A bit "weak sauce" really, but it will be updated quarterly...

Finally, two new Full Frontal Shock Boxes are available, Last Resort & Magical Drop III.

January 2006

Full Frontal Shock Boxes added for Nightmare in the Dark and Samurai Shodown III.

The Classic Shock version of Nightmare in the Dark has been updated with better source art.

Resources have been overhauled.
