Hardcore Gaming 101
is a video game overview site run by Kurt Kalata that is dedicated to cult classics and the obscure. Founded in 2004, it looks at everything from the classics, to Japanese import games, to long-forgotten arcade quarter munchers, to homebrew, to
pure garbage and the
utterly insane. The site also takes a look at the output of various companies like
Compile,
Toaplan,
8ing/Raizing,
Nippon Ichi and
Irem, and the various
Licensed Games of
Capcom and
Konami. The overviews are quite image intensive, and tend to run on to some
strange tangents. It is also one of the few places you'll find someone defending the
Zelda CD-i games.
The site updates roughly every week.
For real this time. Honest.
