Bust-A-Move 2: The Arcade Edition is a game that I’ve never played, but I remember seeing the advertisements. It is also one of the games that I remember seeing on store shelves when I was in high school. This was probably sitting next to Beyond the Beyond, WCW vs. The World, and WCW Nitro. IContinue reading “Bust-a-Move 2 on the N64 is Great”

Wetrix: A Good but not Great Game
Wetrix is a puzzle game that was released on the N64 in 1998 and the Dreamcast in 1999. This game was also released on the Game Boy Color and PC. It is an interesting puzzle game and has a lengthy backstory concerning the game’s development. It is always fun to stumble across a game thatContinue reading “Wetrix: A Good but not Great Game”
Tetrisphere is an odd but fun N64 Game
I just realized that I reviewed these Tetris games in reverse order. Tetrisphere was released on the N64 in 1997. Much like The New Tetris, Nintendo published this game, which is an interesting twist. It is an exclusive game for the console and wasn’t released in Japan. There is a little more to this gameContinue reading “Tetrisphere is an odd but fun N64 Game”
Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game
Magical Tetris Challenge is what I wanted from The New Tetris. Instead of being published by Nintendo, Capcom handled this one, which makes sense when you look into it a little more. It also has a better story than some of the other Tetris games. This wasn’t the first Tetris game released in arcades, butContinue reading “Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game”
The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game
Tetris has one of the more interesting stories behind it. The development of the game is much better than the game itself. Once the game’s creator got the rights to the series back, they started making more games. There were several exclusives, and we’re going to be looking at one of them here. The NewContinue reading “The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game”
Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game
Dr. Mario 64 is a puzzle game for the N64 and is a remake of the first game in the series. Sadly, this isn’t the 64th entry in the series; it just has that stupid naming convention that Nintendo added to a bunch of their games. The game was released in North America in 2001,Continue reading “Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game”
Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game
Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye is a very simple puzzle game. It isn’t really a sequel as much as it is a graphical improvement over the previous game. This is a fun little puzzle game, but it lacks content. This is a version of Mahjong Solitaire. There are a few different layouts, but it is essentiallyContinue reading “Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game”
That Time Sega Turned Puyo Puyo into a Sonic Game
This is a reskin of Puyo Puyo from Compile. It uses characters from one of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, which was released by Sega as a stopgap between other Sonic games, much like Sonic Spinball. This isn’t the first time Sega has worked with Compile, and they will eventually buy the rights to theContinue reading “That Time Sega Turned Puyo Puyo into a Sonic Game”
Daedalian Opus Wants to be Tetris, but Falls Short
Daedalian Opus is a puzzle game that shares some similarities to Tetris. Both games have blocks you try to fit into a field of play. They have their roots in other puzzle games like Pentominoes. When I first looked at this game, I thought it was similar to an early prototype of Tetris. This versionContinue reading “Daedalian Opus Wants to be Tetris, but Falls Short”
