7 Days to Die has seen quite a few changes since I started playing it over a decade ago. Some of the changes were great, others took me some time to get used to. The version I played recently was 2.4, and I don’t like all of the changes that were made since the lastContinue reading “A Good Horror Survival Game: 7 Days to Die”

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: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home
Sweet Home and Dragon Quest are both turn-based RPGs, but that is where things end. Dragon Quest was one of the first attempts to make a console RPG, and many of its gameplay mechanics feel archaic. Sweet Home is something different and unique when compared to the other RPGs on the home console. Comparing gamesContinue reading “Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home”
The Parasite Eve Movie, A Great Prequel to the Games
The 1997 Parasite Eve movie is an adaptation of a 1995 novel of the same name. Both act as a prequel to the video games. As far as I can tell, there are no sequels to the book or movie, and most of the series was given over to the video games to advance theContinue reading “The Parasite Eve Movie, A Great Prequel to the Games”
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”
Sweet Home: Capcom’s Great Horror RPG on the Famicom
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”
Sweet Home: The Awesome Movie that Inspired Resident Evil
Sweet Home, also known as The Mamiya House, is a Japanese horror film. It was released in 1989, and the home video release was the subject of a lawsuit. Parts of the film were re-shot and re-edited for video and TV releases. The director, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, sued the production company over this, but lost. AContinue reading “Sweet Home: The Awesome Movie that Inspired Resident Evil”
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”
