Which Final Fantasy is Better? NES or Mystic Quest
Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are closer than you might think. While the graphics and gameplay are different, the stories are shockingly similar.

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.

Which is Better? Final Fantasy I vs II
The Final Fantasy series is an anthology of stories that don’t always have much in common. The second game is an in-name-only sequel that tried something new. Both games have some good stuff in them.

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”
