This is fine. It isn’t all that special, and it isn’t something I would want to revisit. It is a good-looking port of the arcade game, but there are better wrestling games on the Play Station 1. This version of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game is closer to the Sega Genesis version. It has theContinue reading “WWF WrestleMania on the PS1 is Disappointingly Average”

Vandal Hearts: A Great RPG from the 90s
I’ve been trying to get into another retro role-playing game (RPG) for a few months. It seems like I pick one up, play for a few hours, and then forget about it as I move on to another project.

Rewind or Die is a Short but Fun Survival Horror Game

A look at the Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre series
There are a few games that I really enjoy and go back to every year. Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen is one of those games. It’s my favorite game on the SNES.

Best Retro RPGs
I’ve played many role-playing games (RPGs) over the years. My favorite sub-genre is Tactical RPGs. I’m not sure why this genre pulled me in, but I can thank games like Final Fantasy and Dark Sun for getting me into RPGs.
