Classic Gaming Quarterly shameless plugging thread...

Loved the review of that mansell game.

I don't know if senna is the best driver ever, (although he was perhaps the most memorable) but there is perhaps an interesting connection there wiht being left out of the game:

In 1993 Senna and formula 1 were in arguments - mostly over driver safety and rules - perhaps one of the reasons why he wasn't in the NA game?
   fast forward 11 months to Imola and a young drivers death ( Who had gained fame in Japan I might add) Anyton spoke quite passionately about safety again, before he died in the same turn the next day. Needless to say F1 actually started worrying about safety.
   Formula 1 and developers have not used his name since in a racing game. In fact the thought of using senna's name to sell a game is just unthinkable to developers and is given as the main reason why they won't. 
   In Japan he is sure still remembered as in Brazil.  In fact there is a hack of the mansell game where mansell is replaced by Senna.  Jibba if your an F1 fan you should check it out. It's a neat tribute. (Also the ESPN 30 for 30 Doc on Senna is a must see)

Interesting bit of history if nothing else.

If you're taking about the documentary "Senna", then yeah, that's probably my all-time favorite documentary on any subject.

Senna's name has indeed not appeared in any games I've seen up until now.  There will be some Senna content released for Gran Turismo 6 that apparently lets you follow his career path.  That's why I said what I said in the review about Yamauchi.  He worked with Instituto Aryton Senna and with Ayrton's sister Viviane to put that Senna content into GT6 as a tribute because of how much he admired and respected him.  In Brazil they are going to release a special Senna GT6/PS3 bundle.  I'm jealous, as I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Thanks for your positive comments!

Did a short review of the excellent "Clu Clu Land" on the NES. 

I have a Sega Genesis Launch-tacular episode coming down the pipe that I hope to have done by the weekend.  I haven't done anything else for the Turbo besides the Everdrive episode.  I need to change that!

Just uploaded a new video - The Sega Genesis Launch Spectacular.

It's definitely a fun game.  It's a shame that the graphics aren't a little bit nicer, but the developer wanted to cram it into 2K.

Another really cool product from krikzz.  I hope this guy eventually makes an Everdrive for every system known to man.  Buy straight from the man to help keep his projects flush with cash!  www.retrogate.com

I can't be the only one who's tired of all of these "Kids react to..." videos.
