This is primarily a retelling of the plot of Chrono Trigger. There are a few things that Jeremy adds to it; however, I think he didn’t do enough to move passed a novelization of the game. Some commentary is added when things don’t make much sense. Jeremy brings in a few fan theories about theContinue reading “Corridors of Time by Jeremy Dunn | Book Review”

Fist of the North Star | Yokoi Corner
Fist of the North Star on the Game Boy is a bad game. It is a one-on-one fighting game similar to Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Except, it is more like one of the bad clones of those two franchises. Its graphics look like a Tiger Handheld game, the hit detection is awful, and theContinue reading “Fist of the North Star | Yokoi Corner”
Q*Bert Game Boy Color | Yokoi Corner
Q*Bert on the Game Boy Color is a strange port. My major issue with it is the control scheme. They tried to replicate the control scheme of the arcade game, and I think they pulled it off once I got used to it. TLDR: Q*Bert on the Game Boy Color is a good arcade gameContinue reading “Q*Bert Game Boy Color | Yokoi Corner”
Best Retro RPGs
I’ve played many role-playing games (RPGs) over the years. My favorite sub-genre is Tactical RPGs. I’m not sure why this genre pulled me in, but I can thank games like Final Fantasy and Dark Sun for getting me into RPGs. Then Final Fantasy VII was released, and it seemed like RPGs became very popular! InContinue reading “Best Retro RPGs”
Pokemon Yellow | Yokoi Corner
Pokemon Yellow was the first game that I owned in the series. I borrowed Blue and beat that version. The thing I remember the most is getting the game after my friends had stopped playing Pokemon. The craze didn’t last too long in my friend group. Yellow, in particular, is the game that I enjoyContinue reading “Pokemon Yellow | Yokoi Corner”
Blades of Steel | Yokoi Corner
Blades of Steel is the best hockey game on the NES, in my opinion. Ice Hockey is also excellent, but I like Blades of Steel more and have more memories of playing the game. The Game Boy version is an excellent port of the game, even if it feels easier than the NES version. ThisContinue reading “Blades of Steel | Yokoi Corner”
Tamagotchi | Yokoi Corner
Tamagotchi was released at the tail end of the virtual pet craze in the 90s. This was kind of like Pokemon before Pokemon. They were initially released as key chains and had a few different themes. The one that I had was a Dinosaur themed Giga Pet. It was fun for a while, but likeContinue reading “Tamagotchi | Yokoi Corner”
Review of The Walkthrough by Doug Walsh
This is a book that I didn’t know I needed! I was never a big fan of strategy guides when I was growing up. I wanted to figure out the game for myself, or I would play with my friends, and we would work through things together. The only strategy guides I can remember wereContinue reading “Review of The Walkthrough by Doug Walsh”
Balloon Kid | Yokoi Corner
Balloon Kid took my favorite part of Balloon Fight and turned it into a game. This is an expanded version of the Balloon Trip part of Balloon Fight. It seems to have dropped the parts I don’t like and expanded on the stuff I enjoyed. Balloon Fight was a clone of Joust. It was aContinue reading “Balloon Kid | Yokoi Corner”
Operation C | Yokoi Corner
Operation C is an excellent version of Contra. It’s an entertaining run-and-gun game that feels like it fits in with the games on the NES and SNES. The game looks great and has many of the power-ups you see in other Contra games. It drops a few of them that I would typically avoid, andContinue reading “Operation C | Yokoi Corner”
