Contra: The Alien Wars is a Great Game Boy Game
Contra: The Alien Wars was one of the first Game Boy games that I owned. This was either a birthday or Christmas present, and I played the heck out of it! It isn’t as good as the SNES game, but if you wanted to take Contra on the road back in the early 1990s, then…
Ring King: A Great Boxing Game on the NES
Ring King is one of the many NES games that I didn’t play or know about when I was a kid. When you don’t pay attention to video game news, you miss stuff like this. It also helps that I don’t pay attention to other retro gamers that might’ve already covered this. Data East released…
Second Update on the Great Pokemon Ruby
I picked up Pokemon Ruby again to close out the week. I was really just killing time before football started, and I could see how the Lions do. As an aside, it feels really weird to be excited for a Lions game now that they aren’t a totally incompetent team. Anyway, I caught some more…
Battle Tanx: Global Assault is Good but Not Great
Battle Tanx: Global Assault is an action game where you drive a tank and blow stuff up. It is a follow up to the previous game, and it was released in 2000 on the N64 and PS1. The game is interesting, and I think it is better as a party game. I don’t remember this…
From Good to Bad: Acclaim’s NFL Games
In the early 1990s, Acclaim threw its hat into the ring of NFL games with the NFL Quarterback Club. This series ran from 1993 to 2001, and slowly got much worse as the entries went on. It was a Nintendo exclusive for a little while, which saw the best and worst games of the series.…
First Time Playing Pokemon Ruby
The Pokemon games are some of my favorite RPGs on the Game Boy. I haven’t really played the Game Boy Advance games too much, though. A friend of mine was going through his backlog, and he played Pokemon Sapphire. This is a game that I have played before, but it was decades ago, and I…
Northern Saga: A Promising RPG
Northern Saga is a strategy RPG, similar to Ogre Battle and Unicorn Overlord. It released a demo, which is something that I was looking forward to. There wasn’t too much information on the game when I first checked it, so I was happy to see a demo. This game is still early in development, so…
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is a Great NES Game
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is one of the games that I don’t remember if I played before. I’ve owned my copy since the early 2000s, and I must’ve played it at some point. It is one of the retro games that I don’t remember playing as a kid, but I do remember hearing one of…
Costume Quest is a Great RPG
Costume Quest was released in 2010 on Xbox. It is one of the many games that I missed out on during that time because I was in college and had other stuff going on. It is a short turn-based RPG that involved trick-or-treating. This looks like a bit of a cute take on a Halloween…
Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge is Great!
Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge is an odd entry in the series. It was released in 1991, four years after Simon’s Quest, which is also titled Castlevania II. To try and avoid any confusion, I’ll just call this Belmont’s Revenge. It is the second Game Boy game, and it is a sequel to Castlevania: The Adventure.…
