The only thing I remember about Wild Arms is how I mistakenly thought it was a sequel to Thousand Arms. I’m not sure why I felt that, because the two games have nothing to do with each other. This game has a dark Wild West setting. People in the game seem to be getting readyContinue reading “Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1”

A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor
One of my favorite RPGs is Destiny of an Emperor on the NES. I found it one day while I was looking for a ROM to download. It was one of those days when I was home sick and didn’t have anything else to do. I spent most of the day playing it, and IContinue reading “A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor”
Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game
Tail of the Sun is a bizarre game. It is an action-adventure game where you play as a tribe of cavemen. You only control one at a time, and in theory, they get stronger with each generation. This is one of my favorite PS1 games because of how weird it is. It has a simpleContinue reading “Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game”
RayStorm is one of the Best Shooters on the PS1
RayStorm was released in 1996 and is a vertically scrolling shooter published by Taito. It is the second game in the Ray series, with RayForce being released in 1994 in the arcades and RayCrisis getting a 1998 release. Both of those games were eventually released on the home console. Three shooters happen to be partContinue reading “RayStorm is one of the Best Shooters on the PS1”
From Harvest Moon to Stardew Valley: Two Great Cozy Games
I’ve been playing quite a bit of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley recently. I wrote a review for Harvest Moon on the SNES, and about my experiences with Stardew Valley. Revisiting these two games has made me think about how far the Farming/Life simulation games have come. I’m not sure if Harvest Moon was theContinue reading “From Harvest Moon to Stardew Valley: Two Great Cozy Games”
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”
WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game
I’m a little more forgiving when it comes to the Acclaim wrestling games. They aren’t great games, but they have a charm that I like. I consider them to be average games on the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. The Game Boy conversions are a different matter altogether. There was no way the developers could portContinue reading “WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game”
Ultimate Muscle on the GameCube is a Fun Game
I chose Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy Legends vs New Generation for the first GameCube wrestling game I’m planning on reviewing. That is a ridiculously long title, so I’ll just call it Ultimate Muscle from now on. This is the second Muscle game I’ve played so far. The other one was the NES game, andContinue reading “Ultimate Muscle on the GameCube is a Fun Game”
Rampage: From Wonderful to Forgotten
Rampage is one of my favorite arcade games. I first played it on the NES and rented it several times over the years. I initially thought the game was a mashup of King Kong and Godzilla. I didn’t know the game’s story, and that is what I assumed it was. Years later, I discovered IContinue reading “Rampage: From Wonderful to Forgotten”
Rampage: Total Destruction is the Best Since the Original
This is the last console release for the series. Rampage: Total Destruction is another reboot, so you can forget everything from the previous games. I’m not sure if the series needed to be rebooted, but it needed to be freshened up with some different gameplay. Rampage: Total Destruction was released in 2006 for the PS2Continue reading “Rampage: Total Destruction is the Best Since the Original”
