Dr. Mario 64 is a puzzle game for the N64 and is a remake of the first game in the series.

The Great Gold, Silver, and Crystal Pokemon Games
I completely missed out on the second generation of Pokémon. The biggest reason for this was my friends. None of them were interested in the games anymore, and for the most part, we were too “grown up” for them. When the first generation games were released in North America, I was a Freshman in highContinue reading “The Great Gold, Silver, and Crystal Pokemon Games”
Blades of Steel on the NES is Great
Blades of Steel on the NES is a great hockey game. This, along with Ice Hockey, are two of my favorite sports games on the console. I also have a lot of memories of playing this one.

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. 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”
