HammerLock Wrestling is much better than I was expecting. I can see why the game might not be considered the best, but it has a lot going for it when compared to the other wrestling games on the SNES. It was surprisingly fun to play! The biggest problem I have is with the visual presentationContinue reading “Good Gameplay and Terrible Visuals, HammerLock Wrestling on the SNES”

Best Shoot’em Ups on the SNES
Shooters, Shoot’em ups, or Shmups were a staple of the 80s and 90s. Many of the arcade games from this period were brought to the home console. Some made improvements to the arcade design, while most were straight ports of the arcade games. The SNES isn’t the system I associate with the genre. Even inContinue reading “Best Shoot’em Ups on the SNES”
The Best Shoot’em Up on the SNES
Area 88 is a side-scrolling shooter based on a Manga and Anime series. It takes place in a fictional Middle Eastern country experiencing a civil war. The manga and the two anime adaptations have different endings. While researching this, I watched the 1985 anime, whose ending is left open-ended. Shin returns to Area 88 toContinue reading “The Best Shoot’em Up on the SNES”
My Favorite Puzzle Games
This is a genre that I don’t play that often. I usually treat them as time-waster games, which I play when I need to think about things or when I need a distraction from something more important. Sometimes these games get ambitious and give you a story mode! The story modes are fun. They’re usuallyContinue reading “My Favorite Puzzle Games”
Best Games on the SNES
Most of my memories of playing the SNES come from downloading ROMs, playing with my friend Drew, and collecting games in the late 90s. I didn’t own this system when it came out, and most of my friends bought the Sega Genesis instead. Drew was the only person I knew who owned one. I don’tContinue reading “Best Games on the SNES”
Breath of Fire is one of the Best JRPGs on the SNES
The Breath of Fire series is one of the best retro RPG series. It seems to have been abandoned by Capcom in favor of other series. It feels like what Konami does with their franchises. This is a JRPG that is closer to the Phantasy Star series in terms of gameplay and how the plotContinue reading “Breath of Fire is one of the Best JRPGs on the SNES”
Best Games I played in 2022
I’ve played several games this year. Many of them have been either retro or indie games. I’ve found that I’ve been shying away from the AAA games that don’t appeal to me or seem to be overpriced. I’ve decided to make a short list of the games that I think are the best games thatContinue reading “Best Games I played in 2022”
Robotrek is a better than average RPG
I’m sure this has happened to many people. You revisit a video game, movie, or another form of media that you liked as a kid, and it doesn’t give you the same feeling. This happened to me when I went back to play Robotrek on the SNES. Robotrek is an RPG that Enix published. ItContinue reading “Robotrek is a better than average RPG”
The Best Collection of TMNT Games | Review
There is so much in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection! I have great memories of playing many of the games, and I’m glad they’re all in one place, especially with how ridiculously overpriced some of them are. Digital Eclipse put together the TMNT games from the SNES, NES, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, andContinue reading “The Best Collection of TMNT Games | Review”
The Odd Story of Nintendo’s Player’s Guide
This is a set of books made by Nintendo in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The books changed format over the years. They started as supplements to the Fun Club Newsletter, latter named Nintendo Power, and eventually turned into Strategy Guides. I had no idea these books existed when I was younger. I wish IContinue reading “The Odd Story of Nintendo’s Player’s Guide”
