Frogger, BurgerTime, & Q*bert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We played Frogger, BurgerTime, and Q*bert, which released in the arcade in 1981 and 1982. It's a back to school bundle as we clean up a few loose end arcade hits we've never covered before. We discuss the logic of Frogger, Q*bert's delectable toes, and why Mr. Pickle is our enemy.

Super Mario Kart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We played Super Mario Kart which was released for Super Nintendo in 1992. This racing game takes things to a whole new level with the addition of items, and also karts. We discuss a lack of total chaos, the simple joys of battle mode, and that tricky little d-pad.

Crash Bandicoot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We played Crash Bandicoot which was released for PlayStation in 1996. One of the very first 3D platformers provides a new, but familiar take on the genre. We discuss unusual save systems, island divisions, and what the deal actually is with bandicoots.

Master of Orion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We played Master of Orion which was released for computers in 1993. This sci-fi strategy game is the origin of the term 4X, which means it's a really big deal. We discuss sliding sliders, sliding increasingly more sliders, and the scourge of the Meklar.

Puyo Puyo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We played Puyo Puyo which was released for the Mega Drive in 1991. (We also played its sequel and alternate versions!) Can this colorful blob matching puzzler get out from under the shadow of Tetris? We discuss the merit of garbage blocks, the complexity of Checkers, and what makes those beans so darn mean.
