Close the door, grab a seat, and keep that candy for yourself! Let the little moochers of the neighborhood knock on someone else’s door; there are games to play! October is a great month to go back and play some of the spookier games on the Genesis, Game Gear, and Master System. There are also lots of other titles worth revisiting. Read on and see what our staff and readers have been playing this month!

Interview: Eleazar Galindo (Piko Interactive)
Originally released only in Brazil, the Mega Drive version of Duke Nukem 3D is finally getting a worldwide release, courtesy of Piko Interactive. We had the chance to talk to its founder, Eleazar Galindo, about Piko and its releases, including Duke.
Hacks & Homebrews: Brave Battle Saga
Brave Battle Saga: Legend of the Magic Warrior may borrow assets from other games, but it puts them to spectacular use. Part hack and part homebrew, it combines new and old elements to create a fun and engaging RPG that has finally been translated into English. Fans of the genre owe it to themselves to give this one a try.
Reader Roundtable Vol. 114
September brings with it the end of summer and a return to colder weather (for most people). Another year is entering the twilight of its life, but gaming is eternal. Our staff and readers play their 16-bit machines without regard for seasons, and there’s always something to keep us glued to our controllers.
Reader Roundtable Vol. 113
Every month, our staff and readers share what they’ve been playing. A lot of hidden gems and some well-known classics are discussed, and we hope they’ve helped people find some great new games to play. This month’s selection is filled with some Genesis legends, and we hope you give them a chance if you haven’t already played them or take them out for another spin if you have.
