Nerdicus Genesis Review #55 : Chuck Rock

Title : Chuck Rock Publisher : Virgin Interactive Developer : Core Design Genre : Action Platformer Players : 1 Release Date : 1993 Estimated Value (as of today's date) : $7 - $10 I'll never understand why CHUCK ROCK had gotten so popular back in the early 90's. I wasn't the type of person to fall for slap-stick, gimmicky platformers during the struggling age for developers and/or publishers to define themselves and their mascots. Who would...

It's been awhile since I wrote one of these, and I figured a lazy day at work is a good enough time as any to whip one up.

I honestly only played the first DIG DUG on atari,...

Do I really have to say much more than the title of the game? If you weren't a fan of RPG's, this game turned you into one.

Nerdicus NES Review #174: Dick Tracy

Title : Dick Tracy Publisher : Bandai Developer : Realtime Associates Genre : Action Players : 1 Player Release Date : 1990 Estimated Value (as of today's date) : $4 - $6 You know, I was going to end this week with CHRONO TRIGGER for the Super Nintendo, but I figured why not torture myself with one of the worst games on the NES instead. Good choice, right? Go from one of the best games of the 16-bit era, to one of the worst for the 8-bit....
