Fun fact: Mario’s 3rd 3D platformer
It’s hard for me to hide my admiration of the Super Mario series. It seems to be the standard to which I hold all other platformers. When a new installment occasionally makes it onto the shelves, I usually experience strokes, heart attacks, fainting spells, etc. Unfortunately, when Galaxy [...]

If you had not heard of the game Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa before don’t feel bad. It is a platformer for the Famicom Disc System which has never seen a release outside of Japan. It stars a baby with a rattle, which probably would not have appealed to anyone in the US anyway, however it [...]
