The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is one of the best retro games. I think it is probably the best game on the original Game Boy. I have many memories of playing this game while on car trips and traveling to wrestling meets. This was one of the games that I borrowed from a friendContinue reading “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening | Yokoi Corner”

Infiltrator Worlds of Power #7 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
This was an enjoyably dumb story. I’ve never played Infiltrator before, so this was my first experience with it. I think that I want to try it out now, or at least see if I have the game. Well, I thought I wanted to play the NES game. After looking into it a bit more,Continue reading “Infiltrator Worlds of Power #7 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Ninja Gaiden Worlds of Power #3 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
The Ninja Gaiden book from the Worlds of Power series is a delightful story. I had to look up how closely it follows the plot of the game, and I think the author did a great job. The story is cleaned up a bit, and there is more character development. The changes that were madeContinue reading “Ninja Gaiden Worlds of Power #3 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Two-Point Campus | Review
Two Point Campus is a fun game that is an excellent follow-up to Two Point Hospital. These feel like the spiritual successors to Theme Park and Theme Hospital. I liked Theme Hospital, and the Two Point games remind me of those games. You take on a university’s campus administrator role in Two Point Campus. IContinue reading “Two-Point Campus | Review”
Before Shadowgate Worlds of Power #8 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
Shadowgate is an interesting game and a good subject for a book like this. The original is a graphical adventure game. It is a point-and-click style of game, and it is fun to play from time to time. The Worlds of Power book expands the world of the game. Of the four that I’ve readContinue reading “Before Shadowgate Worlds of Power #8 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner
Super Mario Land brought Mario to the Game Boy and did an excellent job of showing people what the system could do. It also expanded on the Super Mario universe. It is a nice game that is similar to other Super Mario games. There are some differences. Because of the limitations of the Game Boy,Continue reading “Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner”
Wizards & Warriors Worlds of Power #5 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
The Wizards and Warriors book is an exciting story. I don’t think I like this book as much as the other books, even though it does follow the game very closely. I feel like it follows the game to a fault. They find the different items from the game, our heroes run around collecting gemsContinue reading “Wizards & Warriors Worlds of Power #5 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Worlds of Power #4 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest is one of those games that has gotten a bad reputation over the years. Most of it, in my opinion, comes from the AVGN episode on the game. It isn’t a bad game, but it can be a bit confusing. The Worlds of Power novelization of the game does an excellentContinue reading “Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Worlds of Power #4 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Blaster Master Worlds of Power #1 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
This is one of the early books that uses a video game for its narrative. Reading this book made me want to learn what Sunsoft’s initial narrative was. Who was the Blaster Master in the game? Well, in the Japanese version of the game, things are very different. The game’s manual explains that the vehicleContinue reading “Blaster Master Worlds of Power #1 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Corridors of Time by Jeremy Dunn | Book Review
This is primarily a retelling of the plot of Chrono Trigger. There are a few things that Jeremy adds to it; however, I think he didn’t do enough to move passed a novelization of the game. Some commentary is added when things don’t make much sense. Jeremy brings in a few fan theories about theContinue reading “Corridors of Time by Jeremy Dunn | Book Review”
