Batman Returns (1993)
Chris Weatherley - 15/4/2015 
Chris dons his tightest lycra in order to tackle one of the finest Batman games to have graced a Nintendo platform. Read his verdict on Konami's attempts to put the Caped Crusader into a scrolling bat 'em up. I mean beat 'em up.

U.N. Squadron (1992)
Chris Weatherley - 28/3/2014 
They don't make shooters like they used to... And as it turns out, they rarely made them this good even when they er, made them like they used to. Chris dons his Top Gun outfit for an action-packed review of Capcom's superior SNES blaster.

Shane Battams - 24/12/2013 
Retro Secret Santa #2 and it's Shane's turn to pick over Super Nintendo puzzler Pushover. Discover if G.I. Ant's 100 level brain-teasing adventure is as simple as the name suggests in our full review now.

The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare (1993)
Chris Weatherley - 23/12/2013 
Chris does the Bartman in the first of our Retro Secret Santa reviews for 2013, covering one of the many 16-bit Simpsons video games. Does our intrepid writer have a better time of it than Ultraman brought him last year?

Street Racer (1994)
Alan Passingham - 22/10/2013 
Alan discovers imitation is the sincerest form of copying when he fires up Street Racer, an uninspired Super Mario Kart clone for the Super Nintendo. Lap 1, Race!
|
Alan bares his teeth with a review of Konami's famed whip-cracking, vamp-slaying adventure, exclusive to the SNES.
|
Tom goes twelve rounds with Street Fighter's last 16-bit outing, to see whether Capcom's latter-day SNES fighter can still deliver a heavyweight punch. Don't worry, it's still got a few decent shoryukens up its sleeve!
|
You remember the phrase "arcade perfect"? Before Street Fighter II came about, gamers could only dream of such a thing. Chris revisits The World Warrior, which continues to shape beat 'em ups to this day.
|
We reckon that when Cyber Spin was created, Shane wasn't even born! Bit early to start SNES-ing, so instead, via our Secret Santa, The Pixel Empire gave him the unique opportunity to see what we used to think the future would look like.
|
Tom toughens up for some death-a-minute platforming in Rare's Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo. It's got the looks, but can Donkey and Diddy beat Mario at his own game?
|
Spare a thought for Chris as he battles valiantly through catastrophe-dressed-as-a-video-game Ultraman: Towards The Future for Super Nintendo. Read on kids, and heed his warning.
|
A golden game from a golden era of RPGs. Square show there's more to adventuring than Final Fantasy in this magical SNES classic.
|
Nintendo decided to get the ball rolling (sorry) with the SNES's technical capabilities being showcased to the full in this a cracking launch title.
|
What came first - cars that drove around tracks, or tracks that drove around cars? The Pixel Empire vows not to tackle such silly questions and instead examines this classy racer. Jeremy Clarkson not included.
