I could’ve sworn that I’d already written a post for Castlevania: Bloodlines, but I apparently didn’t. This game was released on the Sega Genesis in 1994, exclusively for that console. In the mid 1990s, Konami started publishing games for the Genesis, and this is one of the better ones released for the console. This isContinue reading “Castlevania: Bloodlines, one of the Best Genesis games”

Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis
Super Smash TV isn’t a sequel to Midway’s arcade game or the NES game. It was released in 1992 and is a graphical improvement over the NES version. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version of the game for this review. Acclaim used Flying Edge to publish this game. It is a little odd, butContinue reading “Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis”
NBA Jam on the Genesis is still Great
NBA Jam was one of the first video games that I can remember seeing a commercial for. It looked really cool, and my friends and I were very excited for it. My friends Joey and Eric got the game for the Sega Genesis, which is how I played it. I keep getting this date wrong,Continue reading “NBA Jam on the Genesis is still Great”
NFL Quarterback Club, Good but not Great
NFL Quarterback Club is one of the many games that I didn’t know existed when I was a kid. This is one of the few games that got a handheld release before the home console version. The Game Boy game was released in 1993, and then the SNES and Genesis got the game in 1994.Continue reading “NFL Quarterback Club, Good but not Great”
Rampart: Good Arcade Game, Not a Great Console Game
Rampart is a game that I’m pretty sure I’ve played before, but I don’t remember. It is a combination of a strategy game and Tetris. Originally released as an arcade game in 1990, Rampart was eventually ported to just about everything. It had some influence over the Tower Defense genre, which would become popular inContinue reading “Rampart: Good Arcade Game, Not a Great Console Game”
Paperboy 2 on the Genesis isn’t that Great
There isn’t too much that I can say about the Sega Genesis version of Paperboy 2. The core game isn’t all that different from the original or the SNES version of Paperboy 2. Sometimes there is a difference between the SNES and Genesis versions of the game, but that isn’t the case here. While theContinue reading “Paperboy 2 on the Genesis isn’t that Great”
The Best Retro Games I Played on an Emulator
Emulators were a big part of how I discovered and played retro games in the 1990s. Before I could really go anywhere outside of my hometown, I would wander from website to website downloading NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Genesis ROMs. I don’t remember all of the games I played back then, but some madeContinue reading “The Best Retro Games I Played on an Emulator”
Gauntlet IV is a Great Sega Exclusive
Gauntlet IV is a Sega Genesis exclusive and does a little more than just remixing the first game. It does that, but there are more game modes than a standard arcade experience. It would be nice if this game were more accessible, especially since the other games in the series were on a bunch ofContinue reading “Gauntlet IV is a Great Sega Exclusive”
Paperboy on the Genesis: A Great Version
PaperBoy was ported to just about everything, and when Tengen moved to the Sega Genesis, it was released on that console. There wasn’t much difference between this game and the NES version. It did look much better, though. This is one of the games that I didn’t know existed. When I started collecting retro gamesContinue reading “Paperboy on the Genesis: A Great Version”
Ristar, A Great Platformer on the Genesis
Ristar is one of the many retro games that I didn’t know about until I started paying attention to the internet. This was in the mid 2010s, after I had finished college and moved to Washington, D.C. I found myself with more time on my hands than I had before, and I started collecting retroContinue reading “Ristar, A Great Platformer on the Genesis”
