Pro Wrestler Story is a Great Tycoon Game
Pro Wrestler Story is a simulation game where you build a stable of wrestlers. It plays like Theme Hospital or the Two Point games. I was expecting something different when I picked this up, and was pleasantly surprised when I started playing. What I was expecting was closer to the game Golf Story on the…
Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great
Kartia: Worlds of Fate is a tactical RPG on the PS1. This is one of my favorite games on the system. While it isn’t as good as games like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics, I enjoy the game as much as Saiyuki and Vandal Hearts. It is a pretty unique game, and uses a…
Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1
Saiyuki: Journey West is loosely based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the West. This is one of the more creative games from Koei, as it isn’t one of the long-running strategy games. It is also not based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is something different for this company. I remember being…
Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor
Alternate history settings make for great RPGs. While the quality of the games varies, they tend to have wonderful stories. New Horizons and Destiny of an Emperor are both good RPGs, and they have more grounded takes on alternate history games. Neither game leans into fantasy all that much when it comes to the gameplay.…
Resident Evil: Underworld, A Quick but Good Book
Resident Evil: Underworld is the fourth book in the series written by S.D. Perry. This is the second original story, which is very cool that Capcom allowed this to happen. It is a pretty good story, even if it doesn’t tie into anything outside of the novels. There are a few new characters in this…
Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Robotrek and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are both turn-based RPGs on the SNES, and they’re fairly simple games. Neither takes that long to beat, and in some ways, they feel like starter games in the genre. They also have some similar gameplay mechanics. It is a lot of fun for me to compare a science…
Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
Robtrek and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons are both games I first played on an emulator. It wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that I got the games on the SNES. It was fun to look for these games back in the day. One of these games is more realistic, and the other is…
Which is better? Inindo: Way of the Ninja or New Horizons
Inindo: Way of the Ninja and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons were both made by Koei and released in the early 1990s. Both games are open world RPGs, which is something totally different from other RPGs on the SNES. They do have some significant differences. Inindo is an odd game, but it has some very good…
New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of the more unique RPGs on the home console. It was released for the SNES and the Genesis, but the one I’m most familiar with is the SNES version. This is one of the games that I first played on an emulator in the late 1990s, and then found…
Which is better? Phantasy Star vs Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star are pretty different RPGs. Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses. This is another match up of a high fantasy and a science fiction setting. In this case, Phantasy Star has more fantasy elements to it, so there is more to compare when it comes to that. These…
