These two games feel like polar opposites. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Sweet Home have very little in common with each other. One is a bright and colorful starter RPG, and the other is an RPG mashed together with a survival horror game. It’s comparisons like this that make this whole series a ton ofContinue reading “Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”

Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs DoaE
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Destiny of an Emperor are wildly different games. One of them is a starter RPG, and the other is a very unique game with interesting gameplay. I have more memories of one of these games than the other one. Both of these games are turn-based RPGs, and they have fantasyContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs DoaE”
Super Wrestle Angels: A Great Game in Need of a Translation
Let’s try something completely different. I’ve collected a few wrestling games for the Super Famicom, and I picked one of them out. Super Wrestle Angels is a wrestling management game, which sounded weird enough to get my attention. This is a port of Wrestle Angels 3, which means it is part of a series. SinceContinue reading “Super Wrestle Angels: A Great Game in Need of a Translation”
Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest or DQ II
This one was rather difficult. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Dragon Quest II are, for the most part, very different games. They do have a few things in common. In terms of difficulty, they couldn’t be further apart. As I’ve gone through these games, things are getting a little harder. With Final Fantasy Mystic Quest,Continue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs Phantasy Star
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Phantasy Star have some similarities, and show some of the differences between a starter RPG and one that is more advanced. These are both turn-based RPGs, but one has a more serious tone than the other. There are also some pretty big differences in their approaches. This is another comparisonContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs Phantasy Star”
The Great Resident Evil: City of the Dead
Resident Evil: City of the Dead is based on the events of the second video game. It loosely follows the plot of both the Leon and Claire stories. We also get a few POVs from other characters, which is a nice touch. Perry did a nice job of working with the two separate stories andContinue reading “The Great Resident Evil: City of the Dead”
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, Good but not Great
Right off the bat, the name of the game confused me. Fire Pro Wrestling Returns was released in 2005, and I started wondering if I missed a game. It was released in North America in 2007. It turns out that there was a Fire Pro Wrestling game on the GBA. Since I haven’t played anyContinue reading “Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, Good but not Great”
Which is better? Dragon Quest III vs Phantasy Star II
Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star II are turn-based RPGs with good stories and gameplay. They have a lot of differences between them, which makes for a fun comparison. Having a science fiction RPG and a high fantasy RPG makes things more interesting for me when I write these. Phantasy Star II is a gameContinue reading “Which is better? Dragon Quest III vs Phantasy Star II”
Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest III and Final Fantasy are both high fantasy RPGs. They have a lot of similarities and only a handful of differences. This Dragon Quest game feels like it is closer to what the first Final Fantasy game was doing. Dragon Quest III is still a fairly new game to me. I played itContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Dragon Quest III”
Now, I’m excited for Scarlet Hollow’s Last Episode
The second part of Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 was released a few days ago. It was pretty good, and I’m looking forward to seeing what all of this was about. I was a little confused about what I saw in all of this; not that I didn’t understand it, it was just weird. The secondContinue reading “Now, I’m excited for Scarlet Hollow’s Last Episode”
