Rampage 2: Universal Tour was released in 1999, and is the third game in the series. It is a sequel to World Tour, which was released in 1997. The gameplay had some minor changes, but it is mostly the same game. One thing I like about this game is how it continued the story fromContinue reading “Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour”

Rampage World Tour was released in 1997 on the PS1. It would also be released on the N64, Sega Saturn, and Game Boy Color. This marks the first reboot of the Rampage series.

Unlike Gauntlet, MidwayContinue reading “Rampage: World Tour, A Reboot of a Great Arcade Game”
A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed
I’ve been playing quite a few RPGs over the last few years. Many of the retro games I’ve played were games I remember playing when I was young. These were games I tried to beat, but put them down when I became bored or when life got in the way. I’ve reviewed each of theseContinue reading “A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed”
Gekido: Urban Combat, a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1
Gekido: Urban Fighters is a beat’em up for the PS1. It was released in North America in June 2000. This is one of the games that was first released in Europe and later brought to North America. I really want to like this game, but something is holding it back. The gameplay and controls areContinue reading “Gekido: Urban Combat, a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1”
Deception, Tecmo’s Forgotten Survival RPG Series
The Deception series is an odd collection of games from Tecmo. In some ways, they are an entry in the survival horror genre, but they can considered into the Tactical RPG genre. It’s a little confusing as the games are hard to classify. There are five games and one expansion pact in this series. ForContinue reading “Deception, Tecmo’s Forgotten Survival RPG Series”
Thunder Force V, One of the Best Shoot’em Ups on the PS1
Thunder Force V is a side-scrolling shoot’em up released on the PS1 in 1998. It was developed by Technosoft, like the other games in the series, and was published by Working Designs in North America. This means it has an awesome-looking cover! TLDR: It’s a spectacular shoot’em up despite transitioning the series away from pixelContinue reading “Thunder Force V, One of the Best Shoot’em Ups on the PS1”
Amazing to Forgotten, Konami’s Abandoned Hockey Series
Konami is a bizarre company. In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, it created many amazing and iconic games. Then, in the late 1990s, the company started to fall off as the cost of developing games rose, and the company focused on lower-cost ways of making money. Blades of Steel is one of theContinue reading “Amazing to Forgotten, Konami’s Abandoned Hockey Series”
WCW/NWO Thunder is one of the Worst Games I’ve Played
I looked at WCW Nitro last time, and now I’m looking at the sequel, WCW/NWO Thunder. I hope the development team learned from Nitro’s mistakes and made this game better. I hope I won’t be too disappointed. Inland Productions made both Nitro and Thunder, so the games will look good. Nitro was the first wrestlingContinue reading “WCW/NWO Thunder is one of the Worst Games I’ve Played”
The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1
ECW was a unique wrestling company. It wasn’t as big as WWF or WCW, but it greatly influenced those two promotions. I didn’t know much about them in the late 90s, and I had the misfortune of being introduced to them through the Invasion Storyline in the WWF. Every once in a while, I wouldContinue reading “The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1”
WCW vs. The World is A Great Game with Dated Graphics
I’ve been looking forward to playing the WCW games on the PS1 and the N64. I have memories of Mayhem because it was a Christmas present. I didn’t play the other WCW games and missed out on the N64 games. I didn’t watch WCW until 1999. I know I missed out on the company’s goodContinue reading “WCW vs. The World is A Great Game with Dated Graphics”
