The Console Wars in the late 90’s were fun times! There were a ton of funny commercials with all the mascots fighting it out – Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic, and Sony had Crash Bandicoot!

It has been years since I have played this game (although I… Read More SNES Review – Mortal Kombat II
Console driving games never really took off until the SNES – prior to that most racing games focused on a single-player arcade experience like Outrun!
