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”

Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs
The Ogre Battle Saga is divided into two sets of video games. The Ogre Battle games focus on grander stories about the big countries in the game’s world. Tactics Ogre focuses on the local conflicts and takes place on islands. The Tactics Ogre games tell more personal stories about the people who participate in war.Continue reading “Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs”
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. Vandal Hearts is the game I finally settled on. I remember playing this game in theContinue reading “Vandal Hearts: A Great RPG from the 90s”
Rewind or Die is a Short but Fun Survival Horror Game
Rewind or Die is a survival horror game. It is set in a video rental store sometime in the 90s. I’m not exactly sure where and when, but VHS tapes are everywhere, so I’m guessing mid to late 1990s. The game uses a first-person perspective and Playstation One graphics. I like this choice quite aContinue reading “Rewind or Die is a Short but Fun Survival Horror Game”

While this is a look at the history of a video game, Mike includes how PaRappa the Rapper impacted his life. He also talks aboutContinue reading “PaRappa the Rapper by Mike Sholars | Book Review”
