Rampage Through Time is More of the Same

Rampage Through Time is the fourth game in the Rampage series, and is the end of this trilogy of narratively connected games. I guess Midway was running out of ideas after going into space, so they decided to send the monsters through time. It isn’t the worst idea. This isn’t too different from the previousContinue reading “Rampage Through Time is More of the Same”

Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour

Rampage 2: Universal Tour was released in 1999, and is the third game in the series. It is a sequel to World Tour, which was released in 1997. The gameplay had some minor changes, but it is mostly the same game. One thing I like about this game is how it continued the story fromContinue reading “Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour”

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”

A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed

One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES

The first Harvest Moon is where the farming simulation games started for me. I remember a friend telling me about it in the late 1990s, and we eventually found the ROM online. So, my first experience with the game was on an emulator. Harvest Moon was released in 1997 on the SNES. This was veryContinue reading “One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES”

Hal Wrestling, The Best Wrestling game on the Game Boy

Hal Wrestling is part of the Fire Pro Wrestling series, and it is one of the better wrestling games on the Game Boy. The Fire Pro Wrestling series of games has an odd release history outside of Japan. For whatever reason, these games didn’t always make it to North America, despite being much better thanContinue reading “Hal Wrestling, The Best Wrestling game on the Game Boy”

WCW Games Ranked from Worst to Best

I’ve already played all the WCW games I’m aware of. There are thirteen games across the NES, SNES, PS1, N64, and Game Boy. Some of these are among the worst games I’ve ever played, while others are very good. I’m going to go over some of the reviews for these games that stood out. IContinue reading “WCW Games Ranked from Worst to Best”

Trapt: An Underwhelming Survival Game

Trapt is an odd game in the Deception series. For some reason, Tecmo decided to drop the series name for this game. I stumbled across this game in the mid-2000s when I was in the Navy. In Japan, this game was called Kagero II, which adds to the confusion for people following this series. TraptContinue reading “Trapt: An Underwhelming Survival Game”

WWF Raw is Awful on the Game Boy

We’re going to be looking at the Game Boy port of WWF Raw. This is one of the LJN games that started on the SNES and Sega Genesis before coming to Nintendo’s handheld. I’ll be playing it on a Retron 5 for this review. I don’t have high hopes for this game. I didn’t likeContinue reading “WWF Raw is Awful on the Game Boy”

Armored Warriors, A Game I wanted to love, but couldn’t

The version of Armored Warriors I played is on Capcom’s Beat’em Up Bundle. It is an arcade rom, so it looks wonderful and has unlimited continues. This is my preferred way to play these games, but it isn’t for everyone. You can also get the game on MAME if you want. This is a gameContinue reading “Armored Warriors, A Game I wanted to love, but couldn’t”
