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. At times, I dreaded going to school for a bunch of reasons. I grew up inContinue reading “The Best Retro Games as Christmas Presents”
Final Fantasy II is Better than I Remember
Final Fantasy II has gotten a terrible reputation over the years. I know that when I first played the game, I really disliked it. It was in the mid-1990s, and I didn’t understand how to play the game. The game played differently from the first Final Fantasy. I played this game on an emulator first,Continue reading “Final Fantasy II is Better than I Remember”
The Best 15 Horror Games I’ve Played So Far
I didn’t have time to make a list of indie horror games for this year, so I decided to make a list of my favorite horror games that I’ve played so far. This will include indie and retro horror games. I’ll try to keep it to 15 games if I can. This year has beenContinue reading “The Best 15 Horror Games I’ve Played So Far”
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”
Ranking Non-WWF and WCW Games from Worst to Best
I’ve ranked the WCW and WWF wrestling games, and now I want to do a list for the non-company games. These are all the wrestling games on the Game Boy, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1 that I’ve played.

This is based on the games I’ve played, so there is a chance that IContinue reading “WWF Wrestling Games I’ve Played Ranked From Worst to Best”
The Raiden Project on the PS1
The Raiden Project is a shoot’em up for the PS1. I don’t normally associate this genre with the PS1, as I tend to care more about the RPGs on this system. There is something nice about changing things up and playing something a little different. This is a collection of Raiden and Raiden II. TheseContinue reading “The Raiden Project on the PS1”
Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game
The PS1 library is full of RPGs that I’ve never heard of. Every time I think I know about them, I manage to find a few more. I know this won’t last forever, but at the moment, it feels like I keep stumbling across a new one every other month. Vanguard Bandits is one ofContinue reading “Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game”
