That's the one. I've never heard anyone talk about it; but the comic was pretty wild.

Ah thanks!! Updated now :)

Has anyone ever played GENESIS: RISING?

@cyclonus11.bsky.social tipped me off to this wild comic book that came bundled with it, and after reading, I'm definitely intrigued to check out the game!

Cover of Genesis Rising Issue #1, released February 2007 by Metamorf, featuring a muscular, bald figure seen from behind facing a monstrous bio-mechanical creature with gaping jaws and sharp teeth glowing with red light. The tagline at the top reads, “The Genetic Empire Has Been Born.”

Few books have been graced with as many titles as David Sheff's "GAME OVER"

Check your shelf...you probably have a version of it somewhere...

A series of 14 different versions of the same book

Nice! Too few books are complimented by Wingcap Mario

The Video Game Library 📚 @thevideogamelibrary.org · 1d

Nice! Definitely one of the more popular editions I see on shelves.

Super helpful! Added it to the site. 🎉

Had a hard time finding a good quality cover image, so I just tried to clean up the one you sent through.

Thanks for helping make The Video Game Library a little more complete today 💙🙏

You'll see reviews across the spectrum for this one, but it's one of those staple reads from the early 90s. :)

The Video Game Library 📚 @thevideogamelibrary.org · 1d

Classic!

Oh wow. I've honestly NEVER seen this one. Can you snap a shot of the copyright page/colophon/back cover?
