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”

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”
Shove It! on the Genesis is an Easy Puzzle Game
Shove it! is a puzzle game for the Sega Genesis. It was released in 1990 and is part of the Sokoban series. What you do in this game is move boxes around a warehouse to get them into special spots on the floor.

Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game
Most people know about the Dick Tracy game on the NES. It was one of the AVGN episodes, and quite a few people my age know about it. I remember playing it with my friends back in the early 1990s, and then playing it again in the early 2000s. What I didn’t know about wasContinue reading “Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game”
The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad
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”

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”
