Dragon Quest III is one of the many games that I first played on an emulator back in the mid 1990s. After playing it, I picked up the game when I was collecting retro games in the 2000s. I really didn’t think much of it until I started making YouTube videos. From what I rememberContinue reading “Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy”

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”
Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game
Dragon Quest II is a step up from the first game. It is also a game that I really want to like. When I played it a few years ago, I enjoyed most of the game, but I found it frustrating. There are a lot of good things in this game. The graphics didn’t seeContinue reading “Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game”
Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1
The only thing I remember about Wild Arms is how I mistakenly thought it was a sequel to Thousand Arms. I’m not sure why I felt that, because the two games have nothing to do with each other. This game has a dark Wild West setting. People in the game seem to be getting readyContinue reading “Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1”
Tecmo’s Secret of the Stars: Could’ve been Great, but is Disappointing
I had never heard of this game before. Tecmo Secret of the Stars is a unique RPG for the SNES, and I like it a lot! When I was a kid, I don’t remember anyone talking about this game, and I think it is as good as the best RPGs on the console. I findContinue reading “Tecmo’s Secret of the Stars: Could’ve been Great, but is Disappointing”
The 7th Saga has Beautiful Graphics and Frustrating Gameplay
The 7th Saga is one of the many video games I tried to get into when looking for ROMs in the 1990s. Much like Paladin’s Quest, I would try to play the game, not understand it, and play something else. This time, I’m going to give it a serious try. There are some great thingsContinue reading “The 7th Saga has Beautiful Graphics and Frustrating Gameplay”
Warsong, A Flawed and Extremely Frustrating Game
Warsong is a Tactical RPG for the Sega Genesis. It was originally released as Langrisser: The Descendants of Light. For some reason, the game was renamed Warsong when it was released in North America. The game is a hybrid of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. I wouldn’t say I like it that much, and IContinue reading “Warsong, A Flawed and Extremely Frustrating Game”
Robotrek is a better than average RPG
I’m sure this has happened to many people. You revisit a video game, movie, or another form of media that you liked as a kid, and it doesn’t give you the same feeling. This happened to me when I went back to play Robotrek on the SNES. Robotrek is an RPG that Enix published. ItContinue reading “Robotrek is a better than average RPG”
