Gunstar Heroes on the Sega Genesis is one of the games that I’m not sure when I bought. I know that I did because it is in my collection, but no clue how it got there. It is in a similar situation to the pile of Atari Pac-Man games that I own. I also don’tContinue reading “Gunstar Heroes: One of the Best Genesis games”

Tales of Destiny: One of the Best PS1 RPGs
Tales of Destiny is a very cool RPG that I played a while ago, but didn’t write a blog post about it. Before I play any of the other games in the Tales series, I wanted to write down my thoughts on this one. I have a few memories of this game, and when IContinue reading “Tales of Destiny: One of the Best PS1 RPGs”
Which is better? Robotrek or Phantasy Star II
It has been a while since I’ve compared two science fiction games to each other. This time, I’ll be looking at Robotrek and Phantasy Star II. This should be fun because I really like one of these games, and the other is something that I want to like more than I do. Robotrek is aContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Robotrek vs Destiny of an Emperor
This is going to be another odd one. Robotrek and Destiny of an Emperor don’t have much in common. There aren’t too many RPGs out there that are similar to them. One interesting thing is that neither game has magic. These are two games that I played on an emulator first before finding the cartridgesContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Destiny of an Emperor”
Which is better? Robotrek vs Sweet Home
This should be fun to go through! Sweet Home and Robotrek are very different games, and don’t play like other RPGs. With how different these games are, this will get a little strange as I go through them. After all, one is pure horror, and the other is a comedic science fiction game. Sweet HomeContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Sweet Home”
Which is better? Phantasy Star III or IV
Phantasy Star III and IV are pretty different games. While they’re in the same series, they weren’t made by the same development team. These games have different settings, graphical styles, and storytelling techniques. Phantasy Star III is set in the far future. It takes place after the events of the fourth game, which makes thingsContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star III or IV”
Which is better? Phantasy Star II or IV
Phantasy Star II and IV have a lot of similarities, aside from the setting and gameplay. Their plots are very close to being the same. When I went back to play these games recently, I was a little surprised by the way each game starts and how the story unfolds. The second game was somethingContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star II or IV”
Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV
There were a lot of improvements made between the first and fourth games in the Phantasy Star series. They still have a number of similarities because of the setting, genre, and series. It is kind of fun that Sega was so consistent with what was in the Phantasy Star games. I don’t have too manyContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV”
Phantasy Star IV: The Best RPG on the Genesis
Phantasy Star IV is one of my favorite retro RPGs. I like it more than most of the games on the SNES, NES, PS1, and PS2. There isn’t too much that comes close to it. This is a game that I also have a lot of memories of playing with my friends back in theContinue reading “Phantasy Star IV: The Best RPG on the Genesis”
Mindscape’s NCAA Football Game, It is not Great
This is such a strange game. NCAA Football for the Sega Genesis and SNES were both published by Mindscape. These games were released in 1994, and this was a one off game on the home console. This isn’t some in depth experience. It is similar to other college football games that only have a handfulContinue reading “Mindscape’s NCAA Football Game, It is not Great”
