Dragon Quest III is one of the many games that I first played on an emulator back in the mid 1990s. After playing it, I picked up the game when I was collecting retro games in the 2000s. I really didn’t think much of it until I started making YouTube videos. From what I rememberContinue reading “Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy”

King’s Knight was a Great Idea, but Ultimately Disappointing
King’s Knight was made by Square in 1986 and released in North America in 1989. The game has been rereleased several times over the years, and is a very strange game. It is a vertical scrolling shooter, and it kind of acts like an RPG at times. This is a very strange game. It isContinue reading “King’s Knight was a Great Idea, but Ultimately Disappointing”

For some reason, the game was renamed Warsong when it was released in North America. The game is a hybrid of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. I wouldn’t say I like it that much, and IContinue reading “Warsong, A Flawed and Extremely Frustrating Game”
Jade Cocoon is more than a Pokemon Clone
Jade Cocoon is a game that I found through a video rental store called Family Video. I knew nothing about it but was interested in RPGs and took a chance. I found a spectacular RPG that felt like a cross between Princess Mononoke and Pokemon. There is more to it than that. Jade Cocoon doesContinue reading “Jade Cocoon is more than a Pokemon Clone”
Thousand Arms: A Hidden Gem and Great RPG
Thousand Arms is a very horny game. It ties in with the overall theme and mechanics of the game. To upgrade your weapons with different elemental powers, you must increase your relationship status with different women. It is one of the more anime-inspired games that I’ve played. It reminds me of DNA2, Ranma ½, andContinue reading “Thousand Arms: A Hidden Gem and Great RPG”
