A piece that hasn’t been covered yet. With mounting pressure to review sequels back in August, Nerd Bacon’s ZB skipped over the first Mario Land in favor of Super Mario Land 2. Now it’s time to finally tackle a game he’s been anxious to work on since before Nerd Bacon celebrated its two-year anniversary. That’s right folks, it’s Super Mario Land for Game Boy.

Wolfenstein 3D – PC
For almost everyone outside of Germany, Wolfenstein 3D was an explosive introduction to what many of us would regard as the proper first-person shooter genre.
