The Great Waldo Search is the third book in the series, and it was the basis for the second video game. This time, THQ released the game on the Genesis and SNES, which means it should look much better than the NES game. It would’ve been nice if the developer had tried something different. ItContinue reading “The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad”

Phantasy Star I vs. II, Which is Better?
The first two Phantasy Star games are very good, and saw the developers make a few changes to the gameplay. The stories are different, and the setting is the same for the most part. The games take place 1,000 years apart, so I can understand some significant changes to the solar system in which theContinue reading “Phantasy Star I vs. II, Which is Better?”
King of the Monsters 2 on the Genesis is a Strange Game
King of the Monsters 2 for the Sega Genesis is a different game from the SNES and arcade game. Instead of being a beat’em up or having beat’em up stages, this is a tournament fighter. I’m not sure why this was done. This isn’t the first multi-console release to do something like this. Sometimes itContinue reading “King of the Monsters 2 on the Genesis is a Strange Game”
A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed
I’ve been playing quite a few RPGs over the last few years. Many of the retro games I’ve played were games I remember playing when I was young. These were games I tried to beat, but put them down when I became bored or when life got in the way. I’ve reviewed each of theseContinue reading “A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed”
Captain America and the Avengers on the SNES not as good as Genesis Version.
Captain America and the Avengers is a 1991 beat’em up by Data East. The game was ported to the Sega Genesis and the SNES. A version of it was brought to the NES, but that game was turned into a forgettable side-scrolling action game. I wish I had known about the arcade game. It probablyContinue reading “Captain America and the Avengers on the SNES not as good as Genesis Version.”
Best Beat’em Ups on the Sega Genesis
Sega did an excellent job bringing the arcade experience to their home consoles. This was their strategy to be successful in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They made some spectacular arcade games, which created the foundation for their library. There are a ton of spectacular beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. Sega made many, butContinue reading “Best Beat’em Ups on the Sega Genesis”
A Review of Cyborg Justice on the Sega Genesis
Cyborg Justice is a game that I don’t hear about. I didn’t play it until the late 2010s when I started revisiting some of the games I collected over the years. It is one of those games I bought; I made sure it worked and then set it on a shelf. Playing it for thisContinue reading “A Review of Cyborg Justice on the Sega Genesis”
TMNT HyperStone Heist, The Best Beat’em Up on the Genesis
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an iconic franchise. I remember it most for the movies, the 80s/90s cartoon show, and video games. The two that stand out to me are the first NES and arcade games. TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist was new to me. I thought the only game on the Genesis was theContinue reading “TMNT HyperStone Heist, The Best Beat’em Up on the Genesis”
Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis
I learned about the Toxic Crusaders games from AVGN. That greatly impacted how I viewed this game when I first started playing. Instead of finding a terrible game, I found an enjoyable Beat’em Up with a few Shoot’em Up sections. This game is based on the cartoon, which was how I first learned about theContinue reading “Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis”
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing. Thankfully, this is the last time I have to discuss the controls. There is a lot to do in this game. You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, andContinue reading “WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great”
