Is Tomb Raider an all-time great game or overrated? Is this rumored Neo Geo Mini a good idea? And does a game designed for 6 year-olds hold up today?

This week we’re having trouble pronouncing Japanese names and/or translating Japanese into English. We celebrate Panzer Dragoon Saga’s 20th anniversary by seeing how overpriced it has become on eBay, and we wonder who bought a Game Gear game at retail this year?

Making NES games with NESmaker – Tutorial for patched versions 3.1.1 – 3.1.3 (misc)

NESmaker allows users to create cartridge based, hardware playable NES games in an intuitive, faux object oriented environment without ever having to write a single line of code.

Notes:

This tutorial is for the NESmaker beta patch, versions 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3. Check your version number! It also likely requires knowledge of the original 3.1.0 beta tutorials.

Shooting at monsters! Monsters shooting at you! Boss barriers! Screen triggers! A swath of fixed bugs in the engine, and a handful of fixed features of the tool!

This is a super quick run down of new things. It is meant to by synthesized with your knowledge of the first run of beta tutorials, with a quick refresher of necessary steps, if creating from scratch.
