Over the years, much has been made of Mega Man's hideous box art, and of the general pimplyness of game art's 8-bit pubescence. But ere we hurl stones at an older era's ugly glass houses, let us first look to our own, or something!

Screengrab contributor Faisal Qureshi reports on a brewing lawsuit. — ed.
I'm sure a lot of people have been enjoying the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek trailer with Kirk, Spock and the rest of the gang rebooting the franchise after Paramount sucked it dry so many years ago. Now comes news that Harlan Ellison is suing Paramount for money he ...

It set unusually logical puzzle-solving (by adventure-game standards — no "THROW BRIDLE AT SNAKE" here) in culturally distinct worlds that went beyond the usual D&D boilerplate.
