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.

10-Yard Fight on the NES: An Archaic Football Game
10-Yard Fight is an early attempt at arcade football. I should point out that this is American Football, and not Soccer. This game has some similarities with Atari’s football game, but it looks better. Irem initially released this game in the arcades in 1983, and then Nintendo released it for the Famicom and NES inContinue reading “10-Yard Fight on the NES: An Archaic Football Game”
Which is better? Robotrek or Inindo: Way of the Ninja

These are both weird games, and that is part of the reason I like them. It has been a while since I’ve written about Robotrek. This is one ofContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Phantasy Star III vs Dragon Quest III

They share some common mechanics that you’ll see in most retro RPGs. Phantasy Star III is more of a science fantasy game, which does bring it closer to what Dragon QuestContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star III vs Dragon Quest III”
