I recently took a look at the Genesis version of Home Alone, and I wanted to look back at the NES version. This is a game that I have a vague memory of playing. From what I remember, I played it at an end-of-season party for either little league football or basketball. I played bothContinue reading “Home Alone on the NES: Not that Great”

One of the Best LJN NES Games
The Punisher on the NES really stands out from the other games in the LJN library. A big reason for this is that it is a good game. In this case, the developers took Marvel’s property and turned it into something fun! This is a rail shooter where you play as The Punisher, and youContinue reading “One of the Best LJN NES Games”
Best Indie and Retro Games I Played for 2025
Just like the previous years that I’ve made a list like this, there were a few games that surprised me. I had planned to play more games, but that didn’t happen. 2025 has been a strange year for me, and I’m glad that it is almost over. My plan was to play more RPGs, butContinue reading “Best Indie and Retro Games I Played for 2025”
The Punisher: One of the Best Genesis Beat’em Ups
The Punisher is a good, but basic beat’em up. It is more grounded than the other superhero beat’em ups from the 1990s. This is a Capcom beat’em up, and it was ported to the Sega Genesis. I couldn’t find any information on a possible SNES port. This is an exclusive game for the Genesis, butContinue reading “The Punisher: One of the Best Genesis Beat’em Ups”
The Best Home Alone Game is on the Genesis
Home Alone was one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the theater. Every year, my dad would go deer hunting, and my mom would take us to the movies. We didn’t go to the movies that often, so it was very memorable. I only have one memory of the NES game, andContinue reading “The Best Home Alone Game is on the Genesis”
Which is Better? Final Fantasy I vs II
The Final Fantasy series is an anthology of stories that don’t always have much in common. The second game is an in-name-only sequel that tried something new. Both games have some good stuff in them. I’m one of the few people who like the second game. When I first played it, I didn’t like itContinue reading “Which is Better? Final Fantasy I vs II”
Super Thunder Blade on the Sega Genesis
Let’s take a look at Super Thunder Blade. This is one of the launch titles for the Sega Genesis, and it is one of the weaker ones. It isn’t too different from Space Harrier II in terms of gameplay. It is an arcade port, and not a very good one. This game would’ve been aContinue reading “Super Thunder Blade on the Sega Genesis”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star III and Dragon Quest II are both turn-based RPGs. They have some similar game mechanics, but differ significantly in most areas. These two series have been my favorite to compare, so far. It feels like the Phantasy Star series is one step ahead of the Dragon Quest series. I know that it isn’tContinue reading “Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Phantasy Star III”
Space Harrier II: Better than Altered Beast
Space Harrier II was one of the launch titles for the Sega Genesis. It is a third-person shooter where you control a guy wearing a red jumpsuit. He also has a futuristic vacuum cleaner. It is a little weird, but it can be a lot of fun. This game does a better job of showingContinue reading “Space Harrier II: Better than Altered Beast”
Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game
Golden Axe II is one of my favorite beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. It is an improvement over the first console game, which is what you should expect. They didn’t completely reinvent the wheel, but Sega did make a few improvements. This game is a sequel to the console game, but not the firstContinue reading “Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game”
