PatMan Picks N64 favorites. Star Wars Rogue Squadron

As previously covered in PatMan Picks, Shadows Of the Empire was a great and overly ambitious launch title for the N64. I enjoyed it because of its amazing game play variety and its impact at that time of gaming history. But Star Wars fans had even more to enjoy in the N64’s future.The truth is Rouge Squadron […]

PatMan Picks N64 Favorites: StarFox 64.

We gamers sure are spoiled these days. The visuals, sounds and online functionality in our modern games have us at a point where we might not even remember how special it was back when something really different or never before experienced appeared in a title. Star Fox 64 was one revolutionary home video game that […]

PatMan Picks Stampede Classics. Chris Benoit vs B.G Holliday

Welcome back to another classic encounter in Calgary’s rich past. This time around we will take a look at a young “cocky” wrestler by the name of B.G. Holliday as he takes on a young Chris Benoit.

PatMan Picks Retro PC games. Jungle Hunt TI994A

By now, it must be obvious that my personal favorite time in PC gaming history, my “golden era”, is around the 486 to Pentium 1 days. For its time, it was the best era in PC gaming with the advent of CD ROM gaming, my very early 3D graphics cards (if any at all) and […]

Aside from occasionally going to a friends house to check out a new title now and then, I used to play the majority of my PC games alone. And to be honest, I liked it that way. Some of my friends, including my very own brother, didn’t enjoy playing video games as much as I did […]

Welcome to another episode of the semi popular segment, PatMan Picks classic PC games. My pick for this week is a title that I actually didn’t play until a good few years after it was released in stores. I remember finding the demo for Raptor Call Of The Shadows on a PC magazine CD. It […]
