Crystalis is an action RPG for the NES. It looks a little like The Legend of Zelda, but plays more like Secret of Mana. It also has a post apocalyptic setting that is a welcome change from the typical high fantasy setting that was the standard at the time. The NES version of the gameContinue reading “Crystalis is a Wonderful Action RPG on the NES”

Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game
Most people know about the Dick Tracy game on the NES. It was one of the AVGN episodes, and quite a few people my age know about it. I remember playing it with my friends back in the early 1990s, and then playing it again in the early 2000s. What I didn’t know about wasContinue reading “Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game”
The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad
The Great Waldo Search is the third book in the series, and it was the basis for the second video game. This time, THQ released the game on the Genesis and SNES, which means it should look much better than the NES game. It would’ve been nice if the developer had tried something different. ItContinue reading “The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad”
Where’s Waldo: A Terrible and Weird NES Game
The Where’s Waldo books were a big part of my childhood when I was in kindergarten. These were a series of picture books where you would look for Waldo in a series of very creative drawings.

One of the Worst Games: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I’ve played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was a fairly obscure NES game before the AVGN episode. I remember seeing it in my local retro game store, but I never wanted to buy it because I had no idea what it was or knew anyone else who had played it. It wasn’t until theContinue reading “One of the Worst Games: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”

Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible
This is a game that I don’t remember playing as a kid. There is a decent chance that my friends rented it, but I don’t remember playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure. It is, of course, a movie based video game published by LJN. I’m going into this one with little to noContinue reading “Bill & Ted’ Excellent Video Game Adventure is Terrible”
PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel
Phantasy Star II and Dragon Quest II are two very good RPGs. Since I’m following these series in order, there will be a few instances where a Genesis or SNES game will be compared to an NES game. This is going to be a problem for the Dragon Quest Series because it had four gamesContinue reading “PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel”
