Malibu Bikini Volleyball, Atari Lynx

Developed by Hand Made Software and published exclusively for the Atari Lynx by Atari Corporation in 1993, Malibu Bikini Volleyball is exactly what it says it is: a game featuring girls in bikinis playing volleyball on Malibu beach in California…

To be fair, there are men in shorts as well, although some may be disappointed that they’re not wearing Speedos… The opening title graphic (and box art) features model Karen Isely (I’m assuming Ms. Isely is/was a beach volleyball player, but a search turned up no information confirming this).

Bomberman, PC Engine

The PC Engine version of Bomberman was where this famous video game series really began to take off. It features enhanced graphics, sound and gameplay, further refining Bomberman into the more familiar ‘modern’ incarnation that most games-players know and love. Bomberman was released in Japan in 1990; in North America, for the TurboGrafx-16, by NEC Technologies in 1991, and in Europe by Ubisoft in 1992.

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, PlayStation 2

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is the seventh game in the Gauntlet series, and is a much better attempt to bring the game into the 3D gaming realm than Gauntlet Legends or Gauntlet Dark Legacy, the previous two games in the series. It was developed by Midway Studios San Diego and published by Midway Games for the PlayStation 2 and XBox in 2005. An XBox 360 version was released in 2008.
