YOUKAI CLUB (FAMICOM)
It’s Halloween season, and what could be more bone-chilling than a Famicom game developed by TOSE? How about one that’s mixed up with the terrifying power of Jaleco to release extremely mediocre games?...

SILENT HILL 4 IS A COMEDY
There’s a fine line between horror and comedy, which is probably why there a lot more horror-comedy movies than there are horror-espionage thrillers. Perhaps it’s because so many scary things are, in...

GHOULS 'N GHOSTS (ARCADE)

ROCK STAR ATE MY HAMSTER (AMIGA)

ROLLERBLADE RACER (NES)
I can’t really think of a good way to begin this article, so I’ll just come right out and tell you it’s about rollerblading. “But VGJunk,” a hypothetical pedant might shout, “I think you mean it’s...

FIREMAN SAM (COMMODORE 64)
At the moment, my brain’s too fried to play a “proper” videogame, but that’s not going to stop me from writing these articles because there are enough – more than enough – ephemeral, barely-there home...

SACHEN'S UNLICENSED NES GAME COVERS
Sachen. Thin Chen Enterprises. Joy Van. A Taiwanese company know by many names, but know for one thing: putting out dozens of unlicensed games, mostly for the NES and Famicom. Some of their games are...

LABYRINTH RUNNER (ARCADE)

THE 2016 VGJUNK REVIEW!
So, 2016 is nearly over, and the general consensus is that it’s been a garbage year from hell. That’s certainly my feeling on it. As well as all the horrible things that have happened in the world...

HIGHLANDER (COMMODORE 64)
Oh hey, it’s 2017. For the first article of the year, I’m going for a real “start as you mean to go on” vibe with a game that’s not only a British home computer game, but also a licensed game so...

DONALD LAND (FAMICOM)
When darkness covers the land and the ones he cares about are placed in peril, there’s only one grease-painted, burger-slinging mascot mighty enough to fight for justice. His name is Ronald McDonald,...

SUPER MARIO SPIN-OFF COVERS
Today’s article is all about the cover art from various Super Mario spin-offs, but I don’t mean the kind of spin-offs we’re all familiar with. We all know about Mario’s secondary careers as a doctor or...

BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (GAME BOY)
The great thing about writing about a Batman game is that I don’t have to explain who Batman is. He is, for want of a less overused expression, iconic. If you see the silhouette of a bat, you know that...

GO! GO! DODGE LEAGUE (SUPER FAMICOM)
There have been too many articles about famous super heroes and icons of the gaming world here at VGJunk this month. It’s time to get obscure, with a game you’ve probably never heard of, a game that...

PURPLE HEART (COMMODORE 64)
If you didn’t know the Purple Heart is a medal given to US service members who are wounded or killed in action, the title of today’s game would probably seem kinda weird. You’d have to assume it...

FULL THROTTLE / TOP SPEED (ARCADE)
It’s no secret that I absolutely love OutRun and consider it about as close to a “perfect” videogame as you’re ever likely to get. Well, it looks like someone at Taito felt the same, because in 1987...
