Since it has been a while, I looked back at all the NES games I’ve made videos and blog posts about. Previously, I wrote about my favorite NES games, and I wanted to update that list because I’ve played more. I’m going to try to limit this to fifteen if I can. Some of theseContinue reading “The Best NES games I’ve Played So Far”

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”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs III
Between Dragon Quest II and III, Enix made a few significant changes to the core gameplay of their RPG series. Both games are improvements over the first game in the series. They have similar settings, stories, and game mechanics. It is interesting to watch this series slowly evolve from game to game. Enix tried toContinue reading “Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs III”
Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy
Dragon Quest III is one of the many games that I first played on an emulator back in the mid 1990s. After playing it, I picked up the game when I was collecting retro games in the 2000s. I really didn’t think much of it until I started making YouTube videos. From what I rememberContinue reading “Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy”
Gotcha! The Sport! One of LJNs Better Games
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”
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”
Captain America and the Avengers is not a Good Game
Captain America and the Avengers on the NES is a very different game from the arcade, SNES, and Genesis versions of this game. Instead of a beat’em up, it was turned into a side-scrolling action platformer. I’m not exactly sure why Data East did this, but I’m going to keep an open mind while goingContinue reading “Captain America and the Avengers is not a Good Game”
