A few weeks ago, I looked over the NES games that I’ve played so far and picked my favorites from that bunch. This time, I’ll be looking at the SNES games that I’ve played. This is a favorites list and not a best of or an overall favorites list. This is limited to the gamesContinue reading “The Best SNES games I’ve played so far”

Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor or Inindo
There aren’t too many RPGs that use historical events as a backdrop on the NES and SNES. So, comparing two of them seems like a good idea to me. This time, I’m going to be looking at Inindo: Way of the Ninja and Destiny of an Emperor. I have a lot of memories of playingContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor or Inindo”
Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG
Inindo: Way of the Ninja was released in 1991 in Japan and then in 1993 in North America. This is a turn-based RPG where you play as a ninja, and you’re trying to get revenge on Nobunaga. Like other Koei games, this is based on historical events. Koei has an odd track record with RPGs.Continue reading “Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG”
Adventure Island 3 is Better than the Second Game
Adventure Island 3 is the last game in the series that I’m going to be covering. It was released in 1992 in Japan and North America, and Europe got the game on the Game Boy. For some reason, it was released as Adventure Island II on the Game Boy. Like any good series of media,Continue reading “Adventure Island 3 is Better than the Second Game”
Adventure Island II is better than the first game
Adventure Island II was developed by Now Productions and published by Hudson Soft. It was released in North America and Japan in 1991 and in Europe in 1992. The game was released on the NES first, and then ported to the Game Boy. This is one of the many games that I’ve never played before.Continue reading “Adventure Island II is better than the first game”
The Weird Story of Adventure Island on the NES
Adventure Island has a way more interesting story about its development than many of the other games I’ve covered. It is tied to the Wonder Boy series. I’ll be looking at the first game in the series and talking about the weirdness of how the game came to be. I remember playing this game asContinue reading “The Weird Story of Adventure Island on the NES”
Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs Dragon Quest
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”
