Super Monkey Ball
Call your friends and warn your neighbours, it’s time to have a ball!! With their long rivalry during previous generations, there’s something special about Sega being the only third party to release a GameCube game for its Japanese launch. Sega’s first big third…
Hi Pai Paradise 2
The final Aleck 64 game is unfortunately a fairly boring one: another sexy anime Mahjong game, this time it has something to do with going to a hot spring. I did notice that there are now hamster tiles, but I’m not sure if…
Aleck Bordon Adventure: Tower & Shaft

X’Treme Roller was an European-exclusive PS1 Tony Hawk’s clone that had so little fanfare that it got a single critic review score of 30% (from Jeuxvideo.com). It was also in development for the Nintendo 64 at some point, although this prototype is in…
NFL Blitz Special Edition
NFL Blitz got a Special Edition just for the N64. What this meant is that it was the previous version of the game with some roster changes, similar to Madden 2002 on N64, and what EA later dubbed as “Legacy Edition” for their…
