This is going to be another odd one. Robotrek and Destiny of an Emperor don’t have much in common. There aren’t too many RPGs out there that are similar to them. One interesting thing is that neither game has magic. These are two games that I played on an emulator first before finding the cartridgesContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Destiny of an Emperor”

Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV
There were a lot of improvements made between the first and fourth games in the Phantasy Star series. They still have a number of similarities because of the setting, genre, and series. It is kind of fun that Sega was so consistent with what was in the Phantasy Star games. I don’t have too manyContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV”
Which is better? Final Fantasy II vs Phantasy Star
Final Fantasy II and Phantasy Star have more in common than you might think. Both games have some interesting features that help them to stand out from other games. Not all of these features are good, but they’re unique to these games. Neither of these games is my favorite in their respective series. There isContinue reading “Which is better?

New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of the more unique RPGs on the home console. It was released for the SNES and the Genesis, but the one I’m most familiar with is the SNES version. This is one of the games that I first played on an emulator in the late 1990s, and then foundContinue reading “New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES”
Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home
Phantasy Star III and Sweet Home are wildly different RPGs. Both of them are fairly unique when I compare them to the other RPGs I’ve played. There are a few similarities, but these games have far more differences. Most of the differences are in the gameplay, story, and setting. This is a common occurrence whenContinue reading “Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home”
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”
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”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star I vs III
There were a lot of changes made to the Phantasy Star games over the course of the series. Phantasy Star III seemed to go back to how things were done in the first game. When I revisited both games, I saw quite a few similarities. Both games are more science fantasy than science fiction. ItContinue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star I vs III”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home
These comparisons keep getting tougher. Phantasy Star is an excellent RPG, and I really like that it is different from the more generic high fantasy story. Sweet Home is a good RPG, but it is a hybrid of two genres and also has a different setting. Both of these games are fairly new to me.Continue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star vs Sweet Home”
Good Idea made Great: Dragon Quest I vs II
This one is going to be a little different. I’m going to be going over the improvements that took place between Dragon Quest I and II. This is one of the cases where one game is clearly better than the other. The original Dragon Quest holds a place in video game history. It was oneContinue reading “Good Idea made Great: Dragon Quest I vs II”
