Wetrix is a puzzle game that was released on the N64 in 1998 and the Dreamcast in 1999. This game was also released on the Game Boy Color and PC. It is an interesting puzzle game and has a lengthy backstory concerning the game’s development. It is always fun to stumble across a game thatContinue reading “Wetrix: A Good but not Great Game”

Pokemon Puzzle League: The Best Puzzle Game on the N64
Back in the late 1990s, Pokemon took over pop culture. It was everywhere, and you really couldn’t escape it. There were video games, trading cards, anime, and just about everything else. In 2000, Nintendo published Pokémon Puzzle League on the N64. It should go without saying, but this was an exclusive game for the N64.Continue reading “Pokemon Puzzle League: The Best Puzzle Game on the N64”
Tetrisphere is an odd but fun N64 Game
I just realized that I reviewed these Tetris games in reverse order. Tetrisphere was released on the N64 in 1997. Much like The New Tetris, Nintendo published this game, which is an interesting twist. It is an exclusive game for the console and wasn’t released in Japan. There is a little more to this gameContinue reading “Tetrisphere is an odd but fun N64 Game”
Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game
Magical Tetris Challenge is what I wanted from The New Tetris. Instead of being published by Nintendo, Capcom handled this one, which makes sense when you look into it a little more. It also has a better story than some of the other Tetris games. This wasn’t the first Tetris game released in arcades, butContinue reading “Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game”
Northern Saga is a Promising RPG
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen is my favorite game on the SNES. I’ve loved it ever since I first played it on an emulator back in the mid 1990s. At that time, there wasn’t really another game like it. A few years ago, Unicorn Overlord was released. It did a great job ofContinue reading “Northern Saga is a Promising RPG”
The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game
Tetris has one of the more interesting stories behind it. The development of the game is much better than the game itself. Once the game’s creator got the rights to the series back, they started making more games. There were several exclusives, and we’re going to be looking at one of them here. The NewContinue reading “The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game”
NFL Blitz 2001 is Great, but more of the Same
NFL Blitz 2001 on the N64 was released in 2000. This is a port of the arcade game NFL Blitz 2000 Gold. It is a similar situation to what Midway did with the ports of NFL Blitz 1999. This is an odd way of doing things, and it can make things a little confusing. ThisContinue reading “NFL Blitz 2001 is Great, but more of the Same”
Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game
Dr. Mario 64 is a puzzle game for the N64 and is a remake of the first game in the series. Sadly, this isn’t the 64th entry in the series; it just has that stupid naming convention that Nintendo added to a bunch of their games. The game was released in North America in 2001,Continue reading “Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game”
Dr. Mario on the NES is a Great Game
Dr. Mario is a pretty fun puzzle game where you use vitamins to destroy viruses. It uses similar rules to Tetris 2, but it does the formula much better. I guess this could be considered a falling block game, but I’m not entirely sure. It is a fun little puzzle game where you have toContinue reading “Dr. Mario on the NES is a Great Game”
NFL Blitz 2000 is a Great Arcade Port
NFL Blitz 2000 was ported to several home consoles in 1999. Midway made things a little confusing by porting NFL Blitz 99 and renaming it NFL Blitz 2000. I was trying to find a simple way of explaining this. It isn’t all that complicated; 99 is the arcade game, and 2000 is the console port.Continue reading “NFL Blitz 2000 is a Great Arcade Port”
