Now hold on just a minute. First we get to pick Chrono Trigger as the most exciting game release of the week, then we get to make a Boogerman joke in our headline? Are we crazy, or do we work at Ultra Game Players magazine in the year 1995? Where's Bill Donahue? Where's our Skullbat?
No pinching necessary, we're not dreaming: Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points) really is the Virtual Console release of the week. As for the game itself, It's ... well, it's exactly what it sounds like. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to hit a late matinee of Waterworld.

Bill Donohue answered one of my letters to Game Players once. I've still got the magazine somewhere (along with a pile of other Game Players mags).

Kind booger? I guess some boogers are indeed well mannered.

Man, if you don't know what a Wii Point--err--Nintendo Point is worth, you've haven't been anywhere close to the Internets for the last couple of years...
In the US, it's a simple conversion of 1 Nintendo Point to one cent. 800 NP = US$8.00

nice. I had Boogerman, but if im not mistaken it came out around the time of Maximum Carnage, and my love for that game is far beyond that which i can offer Boogerman. . . Maximum Carnage would be brought down by Saturday Night Slammasters in a single breathe though. . . hehe.

I had a subscription to Game Players for the majority of the 90's. They did all that really cool "armageddon" stuff, where these warlords from another dimension took over the magazine and Bill joined their side... It was all very confusing at the time and still is now that I try recall it.
Aw well, Game Players FTW forever. Mike Salmon was pretty hilarious too.

I don't wanna go on a rant here, but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the First Battle of Antietam, I mean when a Neo-Conservative defenestrates, it's like Raskolnikov filibustered deoxymonohydroxinate.
