Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Dragon Quest are fairly similar RPGs. They’re both simple games that don’t venture too far from the basic formula. Both games can be considered started RPGs. Neither of these games is going to end up on a best games list, but they can be fun every once in a while.Continue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs Dragon Quest”

Donkey Kong 3, One of My Favorite Shoot’em Ups
Donkey Kong 3 is a strange single-screen shooter that I’ve written about a few times, but never reviewed. I’m a little surprised by this because I really like the game. It is a unique shooter that has some platforming mechanics to it. Like many of these early NES games, this was based on the arcadeContinue reading “Donkey Kong 3, One of My Favorite Shoot’em Ups”
The Best NES games I’ve Played So Far
Since it has been a while, I looked back at all the NES games I’ve made videos and blog posts about. Previously, I wrote about my favorite NES games, and I wanted to update that list because I’ve played more. I’m going to try to limit this to fifteen if I can. Some of theseContinue reading “The Best NES games I’ve Played So Far”
Ikari Warriors III on the NES, Not Great
Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue takes the series in another direction. We’re no longer fighting aliens, which is a little disappointing. I would’ve liked to see what alien race these two random soldiers would fight. It was released in 1989, which is the only date I have for this game. I can only assume thatContinue reading “Ikari Warriors III on the NES, Not Great”
Ikari Warriors II is Better than the first game
Victory Road was renamed Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road in the US. It was released in Japanese arcades in 1986 and in North America in 1987. The NES port of the game was released in 1988. It takes the series in a completely different direction and cuts some features that I wish had stayed inContinue reading “Ikari Warriors II is Better than the first game”
Ikari Warriors on the NES, Not as Good as Commando
Ikari Warriors is one of the games that I remember playing when I was in high school. A friend of mine kept describing this game as something completely different from what it was. It was very cheap when I picked it up back in the late 1990s, which is something you could say about mostContinue reading “Ikari Warriors on the NES, Not as Good as Commando”
Demonschool is a Great Tactical RPG
Demonschool is one of the games I was looking forward to from last year. The release slipped past me, and I ended up playing it a few months after it was released. From what I remember of the demo, the graphics are great, but the gameplay was a little awkward. This is the first indieContinue reading “Demonschool is a Great Tactical RPG”
Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home
Phantasy Star III and Sweet Home are wildly different RPGs. Both of them are fairly unique when I compare them to the other RPGs I’ve played. There are a few similarities, but these games have far more differences. Most of the differences are in the gameplay, story, and setting. This is a common occurrence whenContinue reading “Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home”
Which Final Fantasy is Better? NES or Mystic Quest
Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are closer than you might think. While the graphics and gameplay are different, the stories are shockingly similar. I was very surprised to see how close they were. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is a weird game. It is a spinoff of the mainline series and was specifically madeContinue reading “Which Final Fantasy is Better? NES or Mystic Quest”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star III, Destiny of an Emperor
Phantasy Star III and Destiny of an Emperor are very different games. One is a more traditional RPG, while the other has a little strategy to its gameplay that you won’t find in other games from this time. Both games are quite fun to play and can be challenging for different reasons. There are aContinue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star III, Destiny of an Emperor”
