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. I have a few variations of Monopoly, but I decided to give this one a try. This is one of the classic games, and itContinue reading “A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly”

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”
Which is better? Dragon Quest III vs Phantasy Star II
Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star II are turn-based RPGs with good stories and gameplay. They have a lot of differences between them, which makes for a fun comparison. Having a science fiction RPG and a high fantasy RPG makes things more interesting for me when I write these. Phantasy Star II is a gameContinue reading “Which is better?

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”
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”
Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation
Last Battle is one of the stranger games that I’ve played in the last few years. It is an atrocious localization of Fist of the North Star. This is a side-scrolling beat’em up, but it also feels like an adventure game. I had no idea this game existed until the 2010s. It wasn’t a gameContinue reading “Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation”
Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up
Golden Axe is one of Sega’s classic arcade games. It started in the arcades, like many other games from the 1980s. Sega eventually turned it into a series of beat’em ups and then made several spin-offs. They took this series into different genres, which is pretty cool. I’ve only played the beat’em ups, and I’mContinue reading “Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up”
Alien Storm: A Classic Arcade Game from Sega
Alien Storm is a fun beat’em up. Sega initially released the game in the arcades, and later ported it to the Genesis/Mega Drive. It is a hybrid of a beat’em up and a rail shooter. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version, since that is the game I’m most familiar with. There are some similaritiesContinue reading “Alien Storm: A Classic Arcade Game from Sega”
One of the Best Boxing Sega Genesis Games
Evander Holyfield’s Boxing is one of my favorite Sega Genesis games. This is one of the games I played with my friends back in the 1990s. My friend Joey rented it, if my memory is correct, and I think my friend Eric also rented it. It left an impression on me that I picked itContinue reading “One of the Best Boxing Sega Genesis Games”
One of Sega’s Unfortunate Missteps
James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing is one of the games I bought a long time ago, and I never really played it. I made sure it worked and put it on a shelf for later. When I started making YouTube videos, this was one of the first games I played. I don’t remember what IContinue reading “One of Sega’s Unfortunate Missteps”
