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”

Superman on the NES is one of the many games that I didn’t know about when I was a kid. The only thing I know about this game is what I’ve seen on the internet. Most of that hasn’t been good.

The Best Retro Wrestling Games
Since I’ve reviewed wrestling games on the NES, Game Boy, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, and Dreamcast, I decided to list the games I enjoyed the most. This isn’t a best of list, it is simply the games I enjoyed more than the others, or was surprised by. I had never played many of these gamesContinue reading “The Best Retro Wrestling Games”
A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor
One of my favorite RPGs is Destiny of an Emperor on the NES. I found it one day while I was looking for a ROM to download. It was one of those days when I was home sick and didn’t have anything else to do. I spent most of the day playing it, and IContinue reading “A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor”

Let’s Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Phantasy Star 1
I’ve been in a little bit of a funk lately. I’ve been struggling to get into an RPG to write about, and I thought about some of the ones I’ve played a few times.

Q*Bert on the NES, A Good Version of a Classic Game
Q*Bert is a classic arcade game from Williams. It has been ported to many systems over the years, and often, the ports struggle to get the controls right.

Tiger-Heli an Average Shoot’em Up on the NES
Tiger Heli is an arcade shooter. This is one of the games that I remember renting. My brother picked it out. I think that he thought it said Tiger Hell, but I’m not sure.

To do this, you have to use the elevators and escalators. Sounds simple enough, but there will also be anContinue reading “Elevator Action on the NES”
The Most Bizarre Shooter on the NES, Zombie Nation
Zombie Nation is one of the more bizarre shooters that I’ve played. The violence is over the top; you play as a disembodied head, and your hitbox is confusing. I like parts of the game, but wouldn’t say I liked it much. It is just a strange game. The story is insane; the graphics createContinue reading “The Most Bizarre Shooter on the NES, Zombie Nation”
