Steamed! – Jamestown

Jamestown Current selling price: $9.99 Normally I hate bullet hell titles. The idea that all oldschool shmups operated on the principle of having a ridiculous amount of bullets on the screen at once is stupid, inaccurate, and has been done to death. This one has a few nice twists, however. Firstly, it’s an alternative history […]

Emulation Arcade – Avengers

Avengers is a fun, straightforward action brawler that involves you advancing toward a seemingly endless barrage of enemies, punching and kicking your way to justice. Yes, this sounds like Final Fight, but there are a number of twists. Firstly, it’s overhead and has a look and feel similar to that of Commando, but with you […]

Brawler of the Year – 1999

This is actually a surprisingly good year and what a year to end on. No, there weren’t that many titles, but what was released was pretty damn good. This was not an easy year to pick a #1 as a result.

Brawler of the Year – 1998

This was an incredibly slow year for brawlers. Unless my info’s wrong (and you can blame Wiki for that if it is), there were literally only 3 brawlers this year. Worse still, I had no prior knowledge of these titles going into this and, well…they’re not that great.

Brawler of the Year – 1997

This was a slow year for brawlers (unless Wiki’s being a jerk). However, there were some interesting titles this year all the same.

Brawler of the Year – 1996

There weren’t that many brawlers this year, but trust me…if you recognize at least half the games in the runner ups list, you’ll know immediately this was a hard year to call a #1.

Brawler of the Year – 1995

This was a slow and therefore REALLY easy year to choose for brawlers.

Brawler of the Year – 1994

A lot of you might be skeptical about the pick this year, but trust me, it’s one you’ll want to totally get behind when you learn more about it. Yet again, this was a year with MANY console brawlers and not so many arcade brawlers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it might be […]
