The cover struck me not only because it was apparently about a Russian baseball team (?!), but it appeared that the versatile and always solid Joe Mantegna (Airheads, The Money Pit), was playing the lead. Being the Mantegna fan that I am, and also because I've inherently been an avid watcher of all types of baseball flicks e.g. Bad...

While I’m not much of a gamer per se, the NES and Sega Genesis system played a vital role in my varied cast of childhood escapes. I ultimately gravitated toward Sega as my go-to system, racking my thumbs with iconic games like Mortal Kombat, Road Rash, Sonic the Hedgehog and subsequently delving into more obscure titles like Comix Zone, Boogerman and the oh-so overlooked gem Skitchin’. However, I still find myself invariably drawn to that 8-bit allure of those classic NES games. So when I stumbled across Secret Video Game Tricks, Codes & Strategies in a nameless and dust-ridden porno...
