Game Over is an amazing action run and gun platformer that was a target of a huge controversy around its cover art by Luis Royo.
Let's take a look at this amazing story that helped selling lots of copies and placed Game Over as one of the most famous Spanish video games ever made.

I’ve just discovered the 1992 MegaDrive/Genesis port of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the action game, and I was positively impressed by this upgrade from the 1989 original home computer versions that I’ve played so much back then!
So, are you ready for some platforming action?...

While cleaning and reorganizing things on my renewed room, I was hugely struck by nostalgia when I was going through my collection. So many memories flashed right away through my mind, and I just sat and played some of my personal favorite video games on the systems that I have plugged in and ready to play.
Enjoy!

A few Favorite Games on a few Different Systems - It's a Pixel THING - Ep.#60

This game was released in October of 1986. Two months earlier, in August, Metroid was made available in Japan for the Famicom Disk System. In September, and also for the Famicom Disk System, Akumajou Dracula – aka Castlevania – was, as well, released in Japan. So, unknowingly, The Sacred Armor of Antiriad gave birth to the metroidvania subgenre.
Let's take a look!

The Rambo movie franchise was always a nice subject for video game developers to adapt and bring that armored mayhem to consoles and computers, so, in this episode of the Pixel THING we’ll be taking a look at the titles based in this 80s action movie hero!

Thanks! Unfortunately 90% of those were really bad...

It's a shame that they f***ed up the last one so bad. Rambo would be a perfect canditate to a sneaking shooter.

Thanks for your comments, guys! I really appreciate it! The best Rambo based game was, without any doubt, the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis one So much fun!

Another good video buddy. There's a couple of games in there I didn't know of. I like that you publicize games that you enjoy, not just the typical 'best' games on a system. I always learn about new games from your channel, which is great. I actually really like the DC, not that I still have one, but the controller kills it for me same as the n64. I always thought graphics on the DC were really sharp and clean.

I got my driver's license in mid 90s, so, by that time, I was all over racing games! That's the main reason for almost half the games mentioned are about cars
I don't have a DC VGA box. I believe that's the best way for getting the most out of the DC's video power.
Thanks!

20 years ago this revolutionary console took the world by storm. It was Sony’s revenge against Nintendo, but, the main victim ended up being Sega.
