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. I’m one of the few people who like the second game. When I first played it, I didn’t like itContinue reading “Which is Better? Final Fantasy I vs II”

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”
A Look Back at Castlevania on the NES
Castlevania was one of the first horror themed games that I played. It was very different than any other game on the NES that I had played up to that point. Seeing ghouls, skeletons, and gorgon heads was a little crazy for me as a little kid. This is one of the games that I’veContinue reading “A Look Back at Castlevania on the NES”
Werewolf on the NES, Terrible Gameplay but Great Graphics
Werewolf: The Last Warrior is an action platformer from Data East. The name was changed to Super Werewolf Chronicle Warwolf when it was released in Japan. I couldn’t find any information on what it was called in Europe, so if you know, please let me know. This is one of the rare NES games thatContinue reading “Werewolf on the NES, Terrible Gameplay but Great Graphics”
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? An Awful LJN and Rare game
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of those NES games that my friends and I wanted to like, but never managed to finish. My friend Eric owned it, and he claimed to know what to do and how to beat the game. He might’ve, but we never managed to play the game long enough toContinue reading “Who Framed Roger Rabbit? An Awful LJN and Rare game”
Crystalis is a Wonderful Action RPG on the NES
Crystalis is an action RPG for the NES. It looks a little like The Legend of Zelda, but plays more like Secret of Mana. It also has a post apocalyptic setting that is a welcome change from the typical high fantasy setting that was the standard at the time. The NES version of the gameContinue reading “Crystalis is a Wonderful Action RPG on the NES”
One of the Worst Games: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I’ve played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was a fairly obscure NES game before the AVGN episode. I remember seeing it in my local retro game store, but I never wanted to buy it because I had no idea what it was or knew anyone else who had played it. It wasn’t until theContinue reading “One of the Worst Games: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”
WWE Day of Reckoning 2: The Best GameCube Wrestling Game
WWE Day of Reckoning 2 is the last wrestling game that Yuke’s made for the GameCube. It was released in 2005, which was late in the system’s life cycle. Nintendo would be shifting focus to the Wii. A part of me wants to look at the Wii to see what wrestling games are on thatContinue reading “WWE Day of Reckoning 2: The Best GameCube Wrestling Game”
Good Idea made Great: Dragon Quest I vs II
This one is going to be a little different. I’m going to be going over the improvements that took place between Dragon Quest I and II. This is one of the cases where one game is clearly better than the other. The original Dragon Quest holds a place in video game history. It was oneContinue reading “Good Idea made Great: Dragon Quest I vs II”
A Good LJN Game: T&C Surf Designs on the NES
This will probably be on the shorter side. Since some of the other posts are taking me a little longer than I would like, I’m going to be looking at a game from when I was a kid. This time it is T&C Surf Design. This is a collection of mini games that I playedContinue reading “A Good LJN Game: T&C Surf Designs on the NES”
