This series of articles actually started when I was playing/writing about 1987's Black Tiger. This was scheduled to be ported to the PC Engine, but somewhere along the line, it was redesigned and rechristened Son Son II, despite having little to do with the first one. So when coveri...

Three adventure games released during the mid-90s, from French studio Cryo.

However, I accidentally hit the "publish" button, and figured I might as well just put...
