The Forward-Thinking Genius Of Neuromancer

It’s astonishing to think how much of the world has changed thanks to the internet.

Happy 20th Birthday to Terranigma, the SNES RPG America Missed Out On

On October 20, 1995, Enix released Quintet’s Tenchi Sōzō, a spiritual followup to their earlier ARPG Gaia Gensōki, or Illusion of Gaia, in Japan.
