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”

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”

Haunting on the Sega Genesis: A Wonderful Horror Game

Haunting: Staring Polterguy is one of the unique games that Electronic Arts used to publish back in the 1990s. It was released on the Sega Genesis and isn’t like anything else you would see on the home console. It is a very fun horror game where you play as a ghost. This is a gameContinue reading “Haunting on the Sega Genesis: A Wonderful Horror Game”

Ranking Non-WWF and WCW Games from Worst to Best

I’ve ranked the WCW and WWF wrestling games, and now I want to do a list for the non-company games. These are all the wrestling games on the Game Boy, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1 that I’ve played. This won’t include any imports, because I haven’t played any. I also won’t include the ECW games.Continue reading “Ranking Non-WWF and WCW Games from Worst to Best”

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”

PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel

Phantasy Star II and Dragon Quest II are two very good RPGs. Since I’m following these series in order, there will be a few instances where a Genesis or SNES game will be compared to an NES game. This is going to be a problem for the Dragon Quest Series because it had four gamesContinue reading “PS II vs DQ II, One of the Best and a Great Sequel”

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?”

Phantasy Star II is One of the Best RPGs

Phantasy Star II is one of the best RPGs on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It took me a while to really get into this game because I didn’t know what to do when I first played it. I played this series out of order, starting with the fourth game and eventually playing the second andContinue reading “Phantasy Star II is One of the Best RPGs”

Which Retro RPG is Better?: Phantasy Star vs DQ II

Phantasy Star and Dragon Quest II have more in common than you might think. They have similar plot structures, gameplay, and game mechanics. While they look very different and have different settings, they’re fairly similar to each other. I like both of these games, but they do have problems. Most of them have to doContinue reading “Which Retro RPG is Better?: Phantasy Star vs DQ II”
