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?

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”
One of the Best LJN NES Games
The Punisher on the NES really stands out from the other games in the LJN library. A big reason for this is that it is a good game. In this case, the developers took Marvel’s property and turned it into something fun! This is a rail shooter where you play as The Punisher, and youContinue reading “One of the Best LJN NES Games”
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”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Sweet Home
Much like when I compared Sweet Home with Dragon Quest, these two games are very different. Dragon Quest II is a vast improvement over the first game in its series, even if it still has issues. Sweet Home didn’t have a sequel, and it is a unique RPG for the time it was released. DespiteContinue reading “Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home
These comparisons keep getting tougher. Phantasy Star is an excellent RPG, and I really like that it is different from the more generic high fantasy story. Sweet Home is a good RPG, but it is a hybrid of two genres and also has a different setting. Both of these games are fairly new to me.Continue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better? Final Fantasy vs Sweet Home
Final Fantasy and Sweet Home are both turn-based RPGs, but they are very different games once you get passed that. There are some similarities between them when it comes to combat and the core gameplay. For the most part, these games are quite different from each other. Comparing anything to Sweet Home is going toContinue reading “Which is Better? Final Fantasy vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home
Destiny of an Emperor and Sweet Home are radically different takes on the RPG genre. Both are unique games, and they don’t play like anything else. That is one of the reasons I like both of them. I’ve played Destiny of an Emperor quite a bit over the years, and it is one of myContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home”
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”
