Gotcha! The Sport! is a 1987 light gun game developed by Atlus and published by LJN. It is based on a 1985 movie and used as a vehicle to promote LJN’s paintball guns. When I started to look into this game, I stumbled across a whole bunch of other games with the name “Gotcha.” ThereContinue reading “Gotcha! The Sport! One of LJNs Better Games”

Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games
I have very few memories of Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES. This is one of the many games that LJN published, and it is one of their better games. Like several other games from LJN, it is an ambitious game with some cool ideas. None of which was fully realized. Unlike Friday theContinue reading “Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games”
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? An Awful LJN and Rare game
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of those NES games that my friends and I wanted to like, but never managed to finish. My friend Eric owned it, and he claimed to know what to do and how to beat the game. He might’ve, but we never managed to play the game long enough toContinue reading “Who Framed Roger Rabbit? An Awful LJN and Rare game”
Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible
This is a game that I don’t remember playing as a kid. There is a decent chance that my friends rented it, but I don’t remember playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure. It is, of course, a movie based video game published by LJN. I’m going into this one with little to noContinue reading “Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible”
Better than You Might Think, Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th on the NES is a strange game, but it can be quite a bit of fun! It is one of the better games that LJN published due to its uniqueness. In some ways, it is a survival horror game where you have to defeat Jason Voorhees, the killer from most of theContinue reading “Better than You Might Think, Friday the 13th”
Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad
I’m going to dive back into LJN’s collection of superhero games on the NES. I’ve already looked at their awful X-Men game, so I’ll be looking at their Wolverine game. There was a low bar for this game to clear, and it managed not to trip as it stepped over it. This game was releasedContinue reading “Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad”
A Good but not Great LJN Game, Town & Country II
If you were wondering how someone could make a sequel to T&C Surf Designs, then this is your answer. The developers took Thrilla the Gorilla and made a side scroller where you have to skateboard and surf your way through a series of levels. In some ways, it’s as if they took everything “cool” fromContinue reading “A Good but not Great LJN Game, Town & Country II”
Jaws on the NES, One of LJN’s Best Games
One of the stranger games published by LJN is Jaws. It is an odd adaptation of the movie series, and it confused the hell out of me when I was a kid. I played the game before seeing the movie, and I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. The game wasContinue reading “Jaws on the NES, One of LJN’s Best Games”
A Good LJN Game: T&C Surf Designs on the NES
This will probably be on the shorter side. Since some of the other posts are taking me a little longer than I would like, I’m going to be looking at a game from when I was a kid. This time it is T&C Surf Design. This is a collection of mini games that I playedContinue reading “A Good LJN Game: T&C Surf Designs on the NES”
Revisiting One of the Worst Video Game Publishers, LJN
Most people who grew up with the NES and SNES have memories of playing LJN games. My friends and I rented quite a few of their games in the 1990s, and one of my friends owned at least two LJN games. In the 2000s, the perception of LJN and the games they published was shapedContinue reading “Revisiting One of the Worst Video Game Publishers, LJN”
