Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star are pretty different RPGs. Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses. This is another match up of a high fantasy and a science fiction setting. In this case, Phantasy Star has more fantasy elements to it, so there is more to compare when it comes to that. TheseContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star vs Dragon Quest III”

Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Phantasy Star II are very different RPGs. One of them is a starter game meant to introduce new players to the genre. The other is a more complete game and has more of what I expect from a console RPG. It is always fun for me to compare games toContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II”
Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game
I have never played the Katamari Damacy games. My only experience with them has been through one of the books from Boss Fight Books. It got me interested in trying the game out. It took me a while to actually sit down and play it, though. From the book, I know a little about theContinue reading “Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game”
Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star III and Final Fantasy are both turn-based RPGs that I’ve changed my mind about over the years. One of them is a game that I’ve become very tired of playing, and the other is something that I’ve gotten a newfound interest in. Both are good games, and they have some great things inContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III”
Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great
So, we’ve come to Konami’s entry in the genre of pro wrestling games. Rumble Roses is an all-female wrestling game, which is something that existed for a while. Most of these games never left Japan, which is a shame in some cases. This is a tamer version of some of the other female wrestling gamesContinue reading “Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great”
A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly
It is really cold out here in Michigan, so I decided to fire up my Genesis and play Monopoly. I normally like board games, especially video game versions of them.

The Best Games on the Genesis (2026 Update)
A few weeks ago, I looked at the best SNES games that I’ve played so far. I’ve also looked at the NES games that I’ve played. Now, I want to look at the Sega Genesis games that I’ve played and make a list of those. I don’t think I’ve played as many games for thisContinue reading “The Best Games on the Genesis (2026 Update)”
Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great
Mutant League Hockey is the second and final game in the short-lived Mutant League series. After this game, EA abandoned the series for some reason. I can only assume that it didn’t catch on in the way that EA wanted it to, or that they wanted to focus on their other sports games. Hockey isContinue reading “Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great”
Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!
Mutant Football League is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive and is a fantastic arcade football game. This game has a wild story, which isn’t something you normally see in a sports game. The developers explained why all these creatures have gathered together to play American football. This game was released in 1993, and a yearContinue reading “Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!”
Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game
Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye is a very simple puzzle game. It isn’t really a sequel as much as it is a graphical improvement over the previous game. This is a fun little puzzle game, but it lacks content. This is a version of Mahjong Solitaire. There are a few different layouts, but it is essentiallyContinue reading “Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game”
