There were a lot of changes made to the Phantasy Star games over the course of the series. Phantasy Star III seemed to go back to how things were done in the first game. When I revisited both games, I saw quite a few similarities. Both games are more science fantasy than science fiction. ItContinue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star I vs III”

Ice Hockey on NES: A Great Game with Limited Modes
Well, it is November, and the Ice Hockey season is well underway. Around this time last year, I looked at the Blades of Steel series, and this time I’m going to revisit Ice Hockey on the NES. This is a wonderful little game that I played with my friends when I was little. If myContinue reading “Ice Hockey on NES: A Great Game with Limited Modes”
Captain America and the Avengers is not a Good Game
Captain America and the Avengers on the NES is a very different game from the arcade, SNES, and Genesis versions of this game. Instead of a beat’em up, it was turned into a side-scrolling action platformer. I’m not exactly sure why Data East did this, but I’m going to keep an open mind while goingContinue reading “Captain America and the Avengers is not a Good Game”
Phantasy Star III: The Wonderful Black Sheep of the Series
Phantasy Star III always felt a little off to me. It was the second game in the series that I remember playing, and I remember not liking it as much as the fourth game. When I went back to play the game a few years ago, I found it to be a very good RPGContinue reading “Phantasy Star III: The Wonderful Black Sheep of the Series”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Sweet Home
Much like when I compared Sweet Home with Dragon Quest, these two games are very different. Dragon Quest II is a vast improvement over the first game in its series, even if it still has issues. Sweet Home didn’t have a sequel, and it is a unique RPG for the time it was released. DespiteContinue reading “Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home
These comparisons keep getting tougher. Phantasy Star is an excellent RPG, and I really like that it is different from the more generic high fantasy story. Sweet Home is a good RPG, but it is a hybrid of two genres and also has a different setting. Both of these games are fairly new to me.Continue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better? Final Fantasy vs Sweet Home
Final Fantasy and Sweet Home are both turn-based RPGs, but they are very different games once you get passed that. There are some similarities between them when it comes to combat and the core gameplay. For the most part, these games are quite different from each other. Comparing anything to Sweet Home is going toContinue reading “Which is Better? Final Fantasy vs Sweet Home”
Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home
Sweet Home and Dragon Quest are both turn-based RPGs, but that is where things end. Dragon Quest was one of the first attempts to make a console RPG, and many of its gameplay mechanics feel archaic. Sweet Home is something different and unique when compared to the other RPGs on the home console. Comparing gamesContinue reading “Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home”
The Parasite Eve Movie, A Great Prequel to the Games
The 1997 Parasite Eve movie is an adaptation of a 1995 novel of the same name. Both act as a prequel to the video games. As far as I can tell, there are no sequels to the book or movie, and most of the series was given over to the video games to advance theContinue reading “The Parasite Eve Movie, A Great Prequel to the Games”
Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home
Destiny of an Emperor and Sweet Home are radically different takes on the RPG genre. Both are unique games, and they don’t play like anything else. That is one of the reasons I like both of them. I’ve played Destiny of an Emperor quite a bit over the years, and it is one of myContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home”
