<p><strong>Star Fox</strong> and <strong>F-Zero</strong>. Hearing those two names – assuming you’re of a certain age – will probably force you to come out in fits of nostalgia, your mind flooded by memories of the <em>good old days</em> when the SNES and N64 were the hottest tickets in town.</p>
<p>Today, neither franchise really seems to be at the forefront of the Nintendo’s mind; sure, we had <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/star_fox_zero">Star Fox Zero</a></strong> not so long ago and there are <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/rumour_that_star_fox_racing_game_rumour_is_doing_another_lap">rumours of a racing game showcasing Fox and his buddies</a>, but surely such an esteemed series deserves better – and as for being part of an (admittedly good) <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/starlink_battle_for_atlas">Ubisoft toys-to-life game?</a> <em>Tut</em>. And don’t get us started on the state of the F-Zero series…</p>
<p>Before we get too angry, it’s worth pointing out that those lovely people over at <a class="external" href="http://www.hardcoregaming101.net">Hardcore Gaming 101</a> have produced any of their excellent ‘Digest’ books which is focused on – you guessed – Star Fox and F-Zero.</p>
<p>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 <strong>Starglider</strong> and the Game Boy title, <strong>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 <strong>Castlevania</strong> fan games and anime, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/wonder_boy_the_dragons_trap">Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap</a></strong> remake <em>and</em> 11 (more) best video games of all time. Phew!</p>
