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”
WWF Attitude has Wonky Controls and Good Graphics
This is one of the games that I remember renting. My friend Drew and I spent several weekends playing this game. Then Smackdown came out, and we completely forgot about it. It felt like there was a new wrestling game every couple of months back in the late 90s. They all blend together. This oneContinue reading “WWF Attitude has Wonky Controls and Good Graphics”
Revisiting WCW Mayhem on the PS1, It’s a Decent Game
I got this game for Christmas back in the 90s. At the time, I didn’t know much about WCW. My friends and I were watching WWF, and I only heard about WCW near the end of the NWO storyline. I did know a few of the wrestlers in this game. However, most of them wereContinue reading “Revisiting WCW Mayhem on the PS1, It’s a Decent Game”
Power Move Pro Wrestling a Spectacular Hidden Gem on the PS1/PSX
There is something to be said about discovering a game you missed. It can either turn out great, or you can see why this game passed you by. Power Move Pro Wrestling is one of the games that I wish I had played back in 1995 or 1996. It is one of the best wrestlingContinue reading “Power Move Pro Wrestling a Spectacular Hidden Gem on the PS1/PSX”
WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up In Your House on the PS1/PSX. Aside from being a WWF wrestling game, I knew nothing about the game. I think I was expecting something else, but I wasn’t disappointed with what the game had to offer. This game plays like a sequel to theContinue reading “WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game”
WWF WrestleMania on the PS1 is Disappointingly Average
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”
