It's HALLOWEEN here at ARG Presents, and you know what that means...Trick Or Treat! That perfectly describes our topic this week as we play Beautiful Games That Are HORRIBLE! Join MING THE MERCILESS aka Amigo Aaron and THE HURRICANE aka THE BRENT as we look at two games that have a pretty package but a ROTTEN taste, as we look at FX Fighter for DOS, and Space Lords from the genius-types at Atari's arcade division!

It's the Lynx from Camputer this week on ARG Presents! The Lynx (not to be confused with the Atari Lynx handheld) was ANOTHER of the early 80's UK computers, and we get the scoop!

From the mind of CLIVE SINCLAIR and his technical wizards, the NEWBRAIN was born. Passed around and continually passed over, only GRUNDY could finally secure the long overdue release of this unique machine. Join THE BRENT and Amigo Aaron as we attempt to figure out what exactly went down back in the late 70's, and what was ultimately produced. Then it's GAMETIME, as we kick the tires on a couple action-oriented NEWBRAIN games.

Once in a very long while, you'll come across a game that you just can't seem to beat. Most of the time, it's too hard, or it gets old...but on rare occasion, the game CAN'T be beat!

Roll back time with us here at ARG...back to those days where Blockbuster and Hollywood Video kept you entertained on a Friday night. This was a time when you stared at a wall of movies and games and hoped that the one you wanted wasn't rented out. Go back to a time where it seemed like you had a universe of choices..but you only had them for 2 days, and you darn sure better rewind. If you were a frequent GAME renter at your local video store, then you are probably well aware that some games ONLY appeared for rent! It's down this road we travel! Join Amigo Aaron and THE BRENT for RENTAL EXCLUSIVE GAMES, as we tackled Stunt Racer 64 for the Nintendo 64, and Sonic Adventure Limited for the Dreamcast.

Here at ARG, we aren't the most healthy eaters...too much meat, too much sugar...we tend to over indulge. Thanks goodness the folks out in radio land are looking out for us, as they've advised us this week to try Games Featuring Fruit!
