A few weeks ago, a Steam page randomly showed up for Limited Run Games’ upcoming Gex Trilogy, a remastered (ported?) collection of beloved retro titles starring everyone’s favorite radical ‘90s gecko. He’s got jokes, man. The imminent collection rounds up the first 2D Gex (1995)—the weakest of the bunch, if you ask me—as well as the two subsequent 3D sequels, Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998) and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999).

I’d wager I’ve seen Disney’s Heavyweights a thousand times, and the scary thing is, I’m probably not exaggerating. While I didn’t originally see the film in theaters back in 1995, I did wear out the VHS tape with my brother, and we’d make each other laugh (endlessly) by reciting ridiculous quotes from the script during camping trips and lazy afternoons spent swimming in our backyard pool.

Argonaut Games’ Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster doesn’t have a solid release date quite yet, but a chronic case of publisher TBD didn’t stop me from going full ‘90s mode this weekend and playing a fresh preview build. It’s hot off the development press, as it were, and I was excited to see what the team has been cooking up. I wasn’t disappointed.

“This is what the house really looks like, a devil sick with sin, and it only shows that face when the kids turn their backs.”Stephen King’s upcoming novel Never Flinch hits bookstores on May 27, 2025, but that isn’t the only new material on the way, it seems. King has collaborated with the late great Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen) on a brand new picture book entitled Hansel and Gretel, based (obviously) on the legendary Brothers Grimm fairytale of the same name.

When it comes to throwback gaming YouTube channels, not many compare to Tyler Esposito’s My Retro Life, at least in terms of impressively preserved archival footage. Truthfully, just about anyone with a smart phone and a passion for old games can publicly wax poetic about their digital days of yore, but I’d wager very few people possess piles of dusty camcorder tapes that attentively document what appears to be—at least in Esposito’s case—their entire retro gaming journey.
