Do you think it was Stupid/Hypocritical for SOA to not include the SOR...
From a consumer standpoint it was disappointing, but I don't think it was stupid or hypocritical. It all boils down to marketing. In Japan, the Sonic Gems collection (and Sega collections in general)...
View ArticleHi I recently found your site and liked some of the articles I read. My...
The site's built on old technology, i.e. all HTML and CSS, so there's not an easy way to implement a standard comment function. We do link each article to a dedicated topic on the site's forum though,...
View ArticleDo you have any interest in covering the Infinity Engine RPGs on HG101? They...
Absolutely, it's a topic I would love to cover more. But it's also one of those areas where I need to find someone who has the expertise to write about them. AS for me, I finally installed Planescape...
View ArticleKurt Kalata, I find it ironic that Dead or Alive 1, 2, 3 and Dimensions are...
It's been awhile since I played them, but I think the costumes in the earlier games weren't too risque? Like the series has always been really bouncy, but if there were any super skimpy costumes, they...
View ArticleHypothetically speaking, suppose I have an article on a franchise you don't...
Send me an email at kurt@hardcoregaming101.net . Submissions are technically closed for a little while longer but if you've got the right topic I'd be willing go for it! (especially PC RPGs or strategy...
View Article[1]Kurt, you seem like a big anti-GG activist, but your own tokimemo article...
ahaha, the Tokimemo article is pretty old. Like, 12 years old. it doesn't remotely fit into the tone with the rest of the site, and could probably stand to be trashed. But then I'd be accused of...
View ArticleKurt Kalata, would a HG101 article on Toy Commander/Toy Racer for Sega...
A Toy Commander article is coming up soon!
View ArticleKurt Kalata, would HG101 articles work for both Crash Bandicoot and Jak and...
They'd both work, but I have no interest in doing them myself. The Jak series isn't that big but the Crash series is pretty expansive, I think, and it's my impression that fan base doesn't really like...
View ArticleUpdate: Mad Max 2015 game was canceled on PS3/Xbox 360:...
Thanks! This has been updated.
View ArticleHey Kurt, would an article on this game work?...
I have never seen this game before and it looks super ridiculous. So yes, at some point, absolutely.
View ArticleHow is the revenue for HG101's books split? Between the authors or are they...
For the books, authors are paid up front for their work but no royalties are distributed. The profits go towards, well, funding more books! Since the CRPG Addict has their own site, it may be more...
View ArticleI just learned about the HG101 site, which looks like a great resource and...
Sure, email me at kurt@hardcoregaming101.net. We generally don't cover fiction (though I meant to do a review of Lucky Wander Boy years ago) but if one of us is able, we'll check it out!
View ArticleWhy are you so awesome and how can I be as awesome as you?
Coffee can make anyone awesome.
View ArticleEver hear about Silent Bomber Kurt? It's part of my underrated faves on the...
Silent Bomber is rad, haven't played it in awhile though. Should definitely deserve a write up at some point. Rogue Trip was like Twisted Metal, wasn't it? I haven't played that one. As for Legend of...
View ArticleAre there any streamers/let's players that you fancy?
Not really, I feel so old when I say I don't really follow that scene or really even understand it. I mostly just use Let's Plays to research and verify certain things...or recently, to help me...
View ArticleIs there a purpose having multiple accounts on HG101's forums (or am I wrong...
Nope. I'm just Discoalucard, Colonel Kurtz is someone completely different.
View ArticleSorry about that misinterpretation! I think I got mixed up 'cause you had...
Pure coincidence! I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about the 3D Classics (except maybe not being a fan of the original game in particular) so that's a common opinion.
View ArticleDo you have any idea if you'll produce more of the The Untold History of...
It's all up to John. Since it took a long time for the original run to sell through, I don't think there will be a second run. I did look into finding a way to add it to a streaming or video download...
View ArticleHave you heard of Miracle Ropit's Adventure in 2100? It looks like it could...
No but it looks like it would be quite appropriate. Did Micronics even do anything right?
View ArticleI dunno any of Micronics' other games, but the soundtrack is quite nice (...
Micronics was mostly a port house, they were responsible for Capcom's early janky NES ports like Ghosts n' Goblins. If you'd like to pitch just send an email to kurt@hardcoregaming101.net
View ArticleWhat's your favorite cheesy video game commercial?
I honestly can't remember too many of the 8/16/32-bit commercials, but of anything remotely recent, I really enjoy the "Mad World" Gears of War commercial. Made the whole game seem like it would be...

Is this a contest? They're all pretty sexist, but at the same time, while it's kind of juvenile and embarassing, they're harmless. There's nothing wrong with enjoying some cheese. Fan service is really...
View ArticleLooking back at ganbare goemon, do you think the franchise will ever make a...
Probably not. Goemon was not seen as having appeal outside of Japan so its Western market is niche. Maybe they'll appear in some casual Japan only mobile game or something. But the series has not been...
View ArticleHey Kurt, would an article on oddworld be ok? (if it hasn't been done)
lt would definitely be okay! Though I have no personal interest in the series.

I had an idea for a game called Apocalypse Forever, where every stereotypical apocalypse scenario was happening simultaneously (zombies, aliens, rapture, Shin Megami Tensei demons, etc) and you had 30...
