It was the 90s, and my old 486 DX4 100 MHz was already showing its gray hairs in the face of the rising Pentiums. Around that time, SEGA teamed up with Microsoft to bring games to the PC world. One of those titles was Comix Zone, an action game that had instantly captured my imagination when I read about it in gaming magazines.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to play it back then—my system simply couldn’t handle it smoothly—so I put it off for “someday.” That “someday” finally came yesterday.

Playing it after so many years was a wonderful experience. Its comic-book style, where you literally fight your way from one “panel” to the next while following the story and battling enemies with punches and kicks, makes it a fun, lighthearted action game full of variety from stage to stage.

Now the gray hairs have come to me instead, but my spirit will always remain young.
