Star Fox<\/strong> and F-Zero<\/strong>. Hearing those two names \u2013 assuming you’re of a certain age \u2013 will probably force you to come out in fits of nostalgia, your mind flooded by memories of the good old days<\/em> when the SNES and N64 were the hottest tickets in town.<\/p>\n

Today, neither franchise really seems to be at the forefront of the Nintendo’s mind; sure, we had Star Fox Zero<\/a><\/strong> not so long ago and there are rumours of a racing game showcasing Fox and his buddies<\/a>, but surely such an esteemed series deserves better \u2013 and as for being part of an (admittedly good) Ubisoft toys-to-life game?<\/a> Tut<\/em>. And don’t get us started on the state of the F-Zero series…<\/p>\n

Before we get too angry, it’s worth pointing out that those lovely people over at Hardcore Gaming 101<\/a> have produced any of their excellent ‘Digest’ books which is focused on \u2013 you guessed \u2013 Star Fox and F-Zero.<\/p>\n

This fourth HG101 Digest covers a lot of ground; it lists every game in both series, as well as the history of British developer Argonaut Software (which looks at titles like Starglider<\/strong> and the Game Boy title, X<\/strong>) and a study of similar on-rails shooters. It’s packed with screenshots, art and loads and loads of lovely, and comes with supplemental bonus features focusing on Castlevania<\/strong> fan games and anime, Wonder Boy: The Dragon\u2019s Trap<\/a><\/strong> remake and<\/em> 11 (more) best video games of all time. Phew!<\/p>\n
