Sweet Home was released in 1989 and didn’t leave Japan. It is a horror RPG, and was one of the games that inspired Resident Evil. It was mostly unplayable for people outside of Japan for most of the 1990s, unless you found a translated ROM online or imported the Famicom cartridge. Thanks to the internet,Continue reading “Sweet Home: Capcom’s Great Horror RPG on the Famicom”

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.

This is one of the rare NES games thatContinue reading “Werewolf on the NES, Terrible Gameplay but Great Graphics”
Ranking Non-WWF and WCW Games from Worst to Best

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”
Where’s Waldo: A Terrible and Weird NES Game
The Where’s Waldo books were a big part of my childhood when I was in kindergarten. These were a series of picture books where you would look for Waldo in a series of very creative drawings. I only had the first three books, but there were more in the series, as well as more videoContinue reading “Where’s Waldo: A Terrible and Weird NES Game”
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”

Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible
This is a game that I don’t remember playing as a kid. There is a decent chance that my friends rented it, but I don’t remember playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure. It is, of course, a movie based video game published by LJN. I’m going into this one with little to noContinue reading “Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible”
