WWF Royal Rumble on the Sega Genesis looks good. The gameplay is still repetitive, and I don’t like the control scheme. The control scheme doesn’t ruin the game, but it is annoying. The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks closeContinue reading “WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme”

WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
Diet LJN: The Brief Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Brief Story of Flying Edge”
The Command & Conquer Novel by Keith DeCandido is Better Then I Expected
When I started reading this, I wasn’t sure if I would like it. There were a lot of characters, and I wasn’t sure where this was going. I had played the game before but didn’t remember much about it besides aliens showing up. This book is based on the plot of Command & Conquer 3.Continue reading “The Command & Conquer Novel by Keith DeCandido is Better Then I Expected”
A Review of Our Special Place: Conversations on Silent Hill by Whitney Chavis and Brock Wilbur
This was so much fun to read! Our Special Place consists of the transcripts from a series of podcasts about the Silent Hill series. Reading this is like listening to a conversation with two friends. They go over all of the video games, except Silent Hill: Ascension, which wasn’t released then, and the media usingContinue reading “A Review of Our Special Place: Conversations on Silent Hill by Whitney Chavis and Brock Wilbur”
The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great
This is the second version of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game I’ve played. It has several advantages over the SNES version, but I have the same problems with it as I did with that game. Playing arcade games now can be a little rough, especially when there wasn’t anything added to the console port. IfContinue reading “The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great”
Elevator Action on the NES
So, imagine you’re a spy, and you have to infiltrate an office building to steal some information. It doesn’t matter what the information is; you must find it, take it, and escape from the building. To do this, you have to use the elevators and escalators. Sounds simple enough, but there will also be anContinue reading “Elevator Action on the NES”
Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up
Sega had a strategy for every console release. This strategy revolved around porting their arcade games to a new home console, which would help them build a library of arcade hits to try and drive people to buy the new console. They wanted to bring the arcade experience into the home. This worked for someContinue reading “Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up”
Vandal Hearts: A Fantastic Tactical RPG From The 90s
I’ve been trying to get into another retro role-playing game (RPG) for a few months. It seems like I pick one up, play for a few hours, and then forget about it as I move on to another project. Vandal Hearts is the game I finally settled on. I remember playing this game in theContinue reading “Vandal Hearts: A Fantastic Tactical RPG From The 90s”
10 Scary Genesis Games to give you Goosebumps
Horror is one of my favorite genres. While I associate horror games with the PS1, several creepy games have been on the 8 and 16-bit consoles. I don’t think these are scary, but they have a horror theme and atmosphere. I was a little surprised when I went through all of my Genesis games. PredatorContinue reading “10 Scary Genesis Games to give you Goosebumps”
