THE REN & STIMPY SHOW: SPACE CADET ADVENTURES (GAME BOY)
Today I'll be writing about a low-effort, licensed Game Boy platformer based on a property that I actually like because apparently my life requires more misery and that misery should be monochrome and...

TOUGH TURF (ARCADE)
You know, when I first started writing VGJunk it wasn't my intention to cover as many side-scrolling beat-em-ups as I could. It just sort of... happened, this tendency of mine to gravitate towards...

CAPTAIN COMMANDO (ARCADE)
Five years. Five years I've been writing VGJunk now. "I'll write about videogames," I thought to myself all that time ago, "it'll be fun." And you know what? It has been fun, even with the occasional...

BATTLE OUTRUN (MASTER SYSTEM)
One of the great pillars upon which the videogame industry is built is a process I personally think of as "angrification," where gentle, peaceful concepts are given a crispy coating of violence....

LEGACY OF THE WIZARD (NES)
They say the family that plays together stays together, so the family that fights the awakened terror of an evil dragon together are probably going to be pretty tightly knit. Child protection service...

EMPIRE CITY 1931 (ARCADE)
Today at VGJunk: crime! Prohibition-era gangster crime, with tommyguns and men in hats and everything. Most of the crime is perpetrated by the hero, who murders an absolute ton of people. He's not so...

IMAGINE: DOCTOR (NINTENDO DS)
I'd like to begin this article by apologising to my mother, because this is probably the closest I'm ever going to get to having a decent, respectable career. Sorry, ma. Perhaps today's game will offer...

TIMECOP (SNES)
Timecop is the story of Johnny Time, a tough but honest cop who performs his duties admirably. There's just one problem: he never has enough time, not to bust all the perps in the city and still have...

SOOTY AND SWEEP (COMMODORE 64)
British people of a certain age, brace for a possible attack of The Nostalgias. Everyone else, prepare to learn a little about British children's television. Every one of us should buckle in for a...

RETURN OF THE JEDI (ARCADE)
Has it really been almost four years since I last wrote about a Star Wars game? You'd think with the sheer amount of them that I'd be swinging lightsabers or choking a giant mafia slug to death every...

EPHEMERA, VOLUME 9
In an effort to prevent this past week from being a total bust in terms of creative output - all I've produced so far since the last article is enfeebled whinging and a worrying amount of phlegm -...

FINAL FANTASY VII ENEMIES
Hey VGJunk, haven't you written about Final Fantasyenemiesbefore? Why, yes I have. So isn't this sort of a lazy cop-out article? Perhaps, but sometimes a lazy cop-out is all the heart desires and the...

HOKUTO NO KEN (MASTER SYSTEM)
It seems that in every other article I end up saying "this martial artist / violent thug / shoulderpad aficionado sure looks like he was inspired by Hokuto no Ken," so I decided it was probably a good...

SIR FRED: THE LEGEND (AMIGA)
From what I can tell, there is no commonly agreed-upon collective noun for a group of dwarves. This is a shame, because it would have come in very useful for this article. The best suggestion I've seen...

SONIC THE COMIC COVERS
Today, I thought I'd write about some covers from Sonic the Comic. I'm not sure why. Maybe I had a half-remembered dream about it. Maybe the internet's unending thirst for weird Sonic the Hedgehog...

GEKITOTSU DANGAN JIDOUSHA KESSEN: BATTLE MOBILE (SNES)
I've not seen it myself, but everyone seemed to enjoy Mad Max: Fury Road, huh? Actually, that's a huge understatement. If the reception I saw for it all over the internet is to be believed, it's the...

HEAVY SMASH (ARCADE)
If there's one thing videogames agree on, it's that the sports of the future will all be extremely violent. Makes sense to me, sports now are way more violent than they were in the past, when soccer...

BARBIE: FASHION PACK GAMES (GAME BOY COLOR)
Last time out, I wrote about a game called Heavy Smash, and it was pretty good. Maybe a little too good: that banner up there says "VGJunk" and not "VGPrettyGood," after all. So, in the interests of...

PIPI & BIBIS / WHOOPEE! (ARCADE)
I've been to some strange alternate worlds during all my years of videogaming, but today's might be the most bizarre parallel universe of them all: a world where you have to destroy computers to see...

MOON CRYSTAL (FAMICOM)
You run at me from out of the darkness, wild-eyed and crazy, shouting "another videogame with zombies in it, VGJunk? Really? Can we not let the dead rest in peace and the overused tropes of popular...
