Dynasty Wars is a beat’em up that Capcom released in 1989. It is loosely based on the Yellow Turban Rebellion and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This game is a prequel to Warriors of Fate, another beat’em up from Capcom. Both of these games take inspiration from a manga series that places Liu BeiContinue reading “Dynasty Wars is a Good but not Great Beat’em Up”

A Strange and Awesome Beat’em Up, Capcom’s Battle Circuit
I would love to know what drugs Capcom was on when they made Battle Circuit. The plot and characters are crazy. Anytime you can play as a plant, it will be a good time. This is one of the games on the Capcom Beat’em up Bundle, and it might be my favorite out of theContinue reading “A Strange and Awesome Beat’em Up, Capcom’s Battle Circuit”
Warriors of Fate is an Excellent Beat’em Up
I’ve talked a lot about the Capcom Beat’em Up Bundle quite a bit when I was going over games on the SNES and Sega Genesis. Two of the games didn’t have console ports, so I haven’t reviewed them yet. I’m going to go over one of them this time. Warriors of Fate is part ofContinue reading “Warriors of Fate is an Excellent Beat’em Up”
Fighting Force 2 on the PS1 is Simply Bad
I liked the first game, so I was looking forward to this one. It seems like there is a story behind Fighting Force 2’s development, and I might look for it at some point. From what I read, Fighting Force 2 started as something different, and turned into a single-player beat’em up. This game playsContinue reading “Fighting Force 2 on the PS1 is Simply Bad”
Ring Rage Looks Terrible on the Game Boy
Ring Rage is pretty terrible. It looks horrible, and the gameplay isn’t that good. This caused me to look a little deeper. The Game Boy game is an awful port of an arcade game released in 1992 by Taito. There were a lot of changes made to the game. I have no idea if theContinue reading “Ring Rage Looks Terrible on the Game Boy”
WWF Warzone on the Game Boy is Awful
I’m a little surprised that a Game Boy port of WWF Warzone exists. I’m not expecting it to be close to the PS1 and N64 versions of the game. Hopefully, it will be an entertaining experience. This game was released in 1998, which was very late in the Game Boy’s life. This means the developersContinue reading “WWF Warzone on the Game Boy is Awful”
Rampage on the NES is an Awesome Arcade Port
Rampage is one of the first NES games I remember renting. I thought it was about Godzilla and King Kong; I was also six and couldn’t read the game description. This is an arcade game, and knowing the plot isn’t important. As a kid who was into giant monster movies, I found this to beContinue reading “Rampage on the NES is an Awesome Arcade Port”
WWF King of the Ring on Game Boy
WWF King of the Ring was ported to the Game Boy, and it is a very rough game. I’m one of the few people who likes the NES game, and the Game Boy port is not as good. The controls aren’t as good, and the graphics are hit-and-miss. This version of the game has fewerContinue reading “WWF King of the Ring on Game Boy”
A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1
Final Fantasy VII is the game that made the series mainstream. It might be hard to believe, but there was a time in North America when not everyone knew about or liked Final Fantasy. Contrary to what some people think, not everyone was on the internet in the 1990s, and not everyone was subscribed toContinue reading “A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1”
WWF Superstars 2 is an Disappointing Game Boy Game
WWF Superstars 2 is a Game Boy exclusive released in 1992 by LJN. Yes, I know that having the LJN logo on it means the game might be terrible, but I will keep an open mind. Not everything you hear or read on the internet is true, and I have stumbled across a few goodContinue reading “WWF Superstars 2 is an Disappointing Game Boy Game”
