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”

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”
Rampage: World Tour, A Reboot of a Great Arcade Game
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. It plays like the original, but has updated graphics. This series and Gauntlet received modern updates for the 1990s. Unlike Gauntlet, MidwayContinue reading “Rampage: World Tour, A Reboot of a Great Arcade Game”
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”
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”
