BurgerTime is one of the few NES games that I remember playing with my friend Eric. He had a bizarre collection of games, but they were all fun to play. Besides BurgerTime, he owned T&C Surf Designs, Roger Rabbit, Super Spike Volley Ball, Mario/Duck Hunt, and I think he had Super Mario 3. Playing withContinue reading “BurgerTime is Great!

A Good NES Port of a Great Arcade Game
Do you remember that time that Mario tried his hand at construction? Well, it was back in 1984, and it was in the game Wrecking Crew. I can only assume that Mario was trying to find himself after his brief attempt at being a carpenter and then trying plumbing. This was before he pretended toContinue reading “A Good NES Port of a Great Arcade Game”
Adventure Island 3 is Better than the Second Game
Adventure Island 3 is the last game in the series that I’m going to be covering. It was released in 1992 in Japan and North America, and Europe got the game on the Game Boy. For some reason, it was released as Adventure Island II on the Game Boy. Like any good series of media,Continue reading “Adventure Island 3 is Better than the Second Game”
Donkey Kong 3, One of My Favorite Shoot’em Ups
Donkey Kong 3 is a strange single-screen shooter that I’ve written about a few times, but never reviewed. I’m a little surprised by this because I really like the game. It is a unique shooter that has some platforming mechanics to it. Like many of these early NES games, this was based on the arcadeContinue reading “Donkey Kong 3, One of My Favorite Shoot’em Ups”
Ikari Warriors II is Better than the first game
Victory Road was renamed Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road in the US. It was released in Japanese arcades in 1986 and in North America in 1987. The NES port of the game was released in 1988. It takes the series in a completely different direction and cuts some features that I wish had stayed inContinue reading “Ikari Warriors II is Better than the first game”
Ikari Warriors on the NES, Not as Good as Commando
Ikari Warriors is one of the games that I remember playing when I was in high school. A friend of mine kept describing this game as something completely different from what it was. It was very cheap when I picked it up back in the late 1990s, which is something you could say about mostContinue reading “Ikari Warriors on the NES, Not as Good as Commando”
Fire’n Ice: The Best Puzzle Game on the NES
Have you ever bought a game, set it on a shelf, and then forgotten about it? Well, that is what I did with Fire’n Ice. I have no idea when I got this game or how long I’ve owned it. Fire’n Ice is a puzzle platformer where you can create chunks of ice. These areContinue reading “Fire’n Ice: The Best Puzzle Game on the NES”
Tecmo Super Bowl: One of the Best NES Games
Tecmo Bowl holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first football games I ever played, and something that I enjoyed with my friends when I was a kid. The second game in the series, Tecmo Super Bowl, was one of the few NES games that my family owned. It wasContinue reading “Tecmo Super Bowl: One of the Best NES Games”
Home Alone on the NES: Not that Great
I recently took a look at the Genesis version of Home Alone, and I wanted to look back at the NES version. This is a game that I have a vague memory of playing. From what I remember, I played it at an end-of-season party for either little league football or basketball. I played bothContinue reading “Home Alone on the NES: Not that Great”
Ice Hockey on NES: A Great Game with Limited Modes
Well, it is November, and the Ice Hockey season is well underway. Around this time last year, I looked at the Blades of Steel series, and this time I’m going to revisit Ice Hockey on the NES. This is a wonderful little game that I played with my friends when I was little. If myContinue reading “Ice Hockey on NES: A Great Game with Limited Modes”
