Acclaim is one of those companies that has an odd history. Many of its terrible games were hidden under the LJN and Flying Edge labels, and it had a long relationship with Midway and WWF/WWE. They did publish some great games, especially the ports of Midway’s arcade games. This is one of the companies thatContinue reading “Acclaim: An Odd Publishing Company”

Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great
Kartia: Worlds of Fate is a tactical RPG on the PS1. This is one of my favorite games on the system. While it isn’t as good as games like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics, I enjoy the game as much as Saiyuki and Vandal Hearts. It is a pretty unique game, and uses aContinue reading “Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great”
Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1
Saiyuki: Journey West is loosely based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the West. This is one of the more creative games from Koei, as it isn’t one of the long-running strategy games. It is also not based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is something different for this company. I remember beingContinue reading “Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1”
The Best Retro Games as Christmas Presents
Christmas is a fun time of the year. It was one of two times a year that I would get new video games when I was a kid. Not only that, but it was a welcome break from school.

I played this game on an emulator first,Continue reading “Final Fantasy II is Better than I Remember”

Silent Hill: One of the Best Survival Horror Games on the PS1
I didn’t get into the Silent Hill series until the second game’s release. My friend Drew talked about the first game, but I don’t remember playing until I started collecting retro games. I also don’t remember if we rented the first game like we did with Resident Evil 2. I played this game several yearsContinue reading “Silent Hill: One of the Best Survival Horror Games on the PS1”
