Brawl Brothers is a beat’em up from Jaleco. I did review this game a while ago, but for some reason, I didn’t write a blog post for it. That is what I’m going to do today! I played this game a few years ago, and I revisited it for this. Back then, I thought theContinue reading “A Look at Brawl Brothers on the SNES”

Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great
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”
Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1
Saiyuki: Journey West is loosely based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the West. This is one of the more creative games from Koei, as it isn’t one of the long-running strategy games. It is also not based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is something different for this company. I remember beingContinue reading “Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1”
New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of the more unique RPGs on the home console. It was released for the SNES and the Genesis, but the one I’m most familiar with is the SNES version. This is one of the games that I first played on an emulator in the late 1990s, and then foundContinue reading “New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES”
Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game
I have never played the Katamari Damacy games. My only experience with them has been through one of the books from Boss Fight Books. It got me interested in trying the game out. It took me a while to actually sit down and play it, though. From the book, I know a little about theContinue reading “Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game”
Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great
So, we’ve come to Konami’s entry in the genre of pro wrestling games. Rumble Roses is an all-female wrestling game, which is something that existed for a while. Most of these games never left Japan, which is a shame in some cases. This is a tamer version of some of the other female wrestling gamesContinue reading “Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great”
A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly
It is really cold out here in Michigan, so I decided to fire up my Genesis and play Monopoly. I normally like board games, especially video game versions of them. I have a few variations of Monopoly, but I decided to give this one a try. This is one of the classic games, and itContinue reading “A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly”
Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great
Mutant League Hockey is the second and final game in the short-lived Mutant League series. After this game, EA abandoned the series for some reason. I can only assume that it didn’t catch on in the way that EA wanted it to, or that they wanted to focus on their other sports games. Hockey isContinue reading “Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great”
Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!
Mutant Football League is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive and is a fantastic arcade football game. This game has a wild story, which isn’t something you normally see in a sports game. The developers explained why all these creatures have gathered together to play American football. This game was released in 1993, and a yearContinue reading “Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!”
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”
