Innovating on its predecessors, certain levels in Mortal Kombat 3 "were interactive by allowing characters to be uppercutted through the ceiling where both characters would continue the battle in a different stage." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

Taking one of the coolest franchises in video games and a little change was a bit of a shock to some gamers but they eventually they realized how cool MK3 really was.

In this Video Game Vault episode, "Destin takes a look at a Turtles game that tried to capitalize on the most popular genre at the time and somehow managed to come out looking pretty sweet." Continue reading to watch.

The Russian designed Zubr is touted as the world's largest military hovercraft. It was "designed to sealift landing assault units from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shore, as well as transport and plant mines." Click here for first picture in gallery.

Capable of carrying multiple tanks and a nice mix of 140mm rocket pods, 30mm cannons and air defense missiles, the Zubr can cruise for 300 miles before rapidly deploying troops and equipment close to shore.

In part one of GT's "The Metal Gear Retrospective", they take a look at the games that started it all: "Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge, and MG2: Solid Snake." Continue reading to watch.

Released in 1975, the world's first digital camera, by Kodak, actually recorded images onto cassette tapes -- each image took 23-seconds to record. Click here to see an image of the viewing device.

The next step in this cumbersome process was hooking up that cassette player to this clunky computer that would somehow play the pic back onto a television set. Looks like Kodak has learned a lot about ease of use.

In The Magical Question Starring Mickey Mouse -- released on the SNES in 1992, the "player must move as in a typical platform game, defeating enemies either by jumping on them or by grabbing and throwing blocks at them." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

The disguises Mickey uses are a magician attire, which allows him to shoot magic, which can be charged; a fire fighter uniform that allows him to continually spray water; and alpinism clothes that allow him to use a grappling hook that can attach to certain surfaces and objects.

In Knight Rider for the NES, "terrorists are running rampant all over the United States of America and only a man and his robotic car can stop them from taking over." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

However, the game is very difficult to play and there is also a DRIVE mode that allows players to go on a Sunday drive through the stages. Despite the non-violent premise of the television show, the video game interpretation was deemed to be very violent for its era with its almost exclusive use of firearms to eradicate terrorists

In Tiny Toon Adventures for the NES, "the player plays as Buster Bunny in the effort to rescue Babs Bunny from her kidnapper, Montana Max." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

Players get the help of Dizzy Devil, Furrball, and Plucky Duck to get through a total of six levels, which is done at the beginning of each level.

In NFL Blitz 2000, "there are no timeouts, but the clock stops after every play, and extra points after touchdowns are claimed to be automatic, unless it is chosen to go for two points." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

Unlike standard football sims, Blitz played fast and furious. The only kicking in the game (punts and extra points) came automatically and, like Midway's NBA Jam series, players were able to pull off fantastic moves.

Super Soccer for the SNES "is innovative because of its viewing perspective, to this day unique in soccer video games: the field is shown plainly on a vertical view, and the opposite goal can be seen from anywhere in the field, making use of the Mode 7 chip." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.
