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”
An Honest Look at Karate Kid on the NES
Karate Kid on the NES is one of the first games that got the LJN treatment in the mid-2000s. It is also a game that I vaguely remember from the time I watched the video. I had played it as a kid, but didn’t know much about it. I don’t remember looking for this gameContinue reading “An Honest Look at Karate Kid on the NES”
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six on the NES
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six is one of the better games published by LJN. It isn’t necessarily a good game, but it is better than the other ones in the publisher’s library. There is something about it that I really enjoy, because it can be fun to laugh at. This is one of theContinue reading “Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six on the NES”
One of the Worst NES Games: The Uncanny X-Men
I wasn’t into comic books when I was a kid. There wasn’t a place where I could buy them, so the only way I could learn about them was from video games and cartoons. This was how I first learned about the X-Men. My friend Joey rented the X-Men game for the NES, and whenContinue reading “One of the Worst NES Games: The Uncanny X-Men”
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing. Thankfully, this is the last time I have to discuss the controls. There is a lot to do in this game. You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, andContinue reading “WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great”
WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme
WWF Royal Rumble on the Sega Genesis looks good. The gameplay is still repetitive, and I don’t like the control scheme. The control scheme doesn’t ruin the game, but it is annoying. The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks closeContinue reading “WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme”
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
