At the big VGJUNK site today: A special look at two games starring former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. Yes, there are two of them - Gorby’s Pipeline and Ganbare Gorby for the NES and Game Gear respectively. He has been cutesified in both. It’s kinda weird. Check it out here!

Video Ace Dendy magazine.

Great Dragon magazine with a Resident Evil cover. Poor Claire looks very sad - maybe she’s just realised she’s wearing red hot-pants with a fur trim.

Hatris advert. I wrote about Hatris before. It’s… odd. Especially given the grisly real-life murder-suicide of one of the game’s developers, who appears in the game in pixel form.

You dance well Mr. Ex-President!

Today on the big VGJUNK blog: a fond look at some of the greatest Russian stereotypes in videogame history with Fighters of the World: Russia!

“Korobeiniki” is a Russian folk song, and it is also the Tetris A music. This is really great, it’s going straight on my MP3 player.
