Gauntlet II isn’t too different from the first game. The gameplay is essentially the same, the same four characters are in the game, and the graphics are mostly the same. This isn’t all that surprising given that the game was released shortly after the first in the arcades. This was a conversion kit for theContinue reading “Gauntlet II: A Good Sequel but Nothing New”

Paperboy, A Good but Not Great NES Game
I don’t remember if I’ve written about Paperboy, and since I can’t find a post that I made about the NES game, that’s where I’ll start.

Rush’n Attack on the NES is a Decent Arcade Port
Rush’N Attack is a port of an arcade game called Green Beret. Why did they change the name? No idea, but I think it doesn’t matter all that much. The name is kind of fun and is a play on Russian Attack. I assume that is what Konami or their American office was going for.Continue reading “Rush’n Attack on the NES is a Decent Arcade Port”
