Welcome, Shackers, to another week of October. We hope you’re having a good spooky month so far. With Halloween approaching, it’s about time to get into some scary games, but we’re also enjoying the brief period calm before the end of the year gaming coverage hits.

Poor Yamacha, but I’m glad to see this ridiculousness is still possible in Sparking Zero.

Silent Hill 2 doesn’t have a Mercenaries Mode… But I wouldn’t mind if it did.
Mega Man 1 boss programming
There's something to the MM1 boss style.

The designers weren't occupied with the usual pattern cycles. The bosses feel alive, as if controlled by P2.

Kind of cool. You could cheese these bosses, but it was very interesting how Capcom programmed them to respond.
