A Look at Brawl Brothers on the SNES

Brawl Brothers is a beat’em up from Jaleco. I did review this game a while ago, but for some reason, I didn’t write a blog post for it. That is what I’m going to do today! I played this game a few years ago, and I revisited it for this. Back then, I thought theContinue reading “A Look at Brawl Brothers on the SNES”

Which is better? Robotrek vs Dragon Quest

Robotrek and Dragon Quest is an interesting match up. Science fiction and high fantasy games usually make for some interesting comparisons. This one is a little tricky because Dragon Quest is a fairly basic RPG. Both games were published by Enix, but made by different development teams. They were also made at different times, whichContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Dragon Quest”

Which is better? Robotrek vs Phantasy Star

Robotrek and Phantasy Star don’t have too much in common. While they’re both turn-based RPGs and have science fiction settings, there are way more differences. These are both fun games, but I had way more fun with one of them! I enjoy the different takes on science fiction in these games. Phantasy Star is moreContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor

Alternate history settings make for great RPGs. While the quality of the games varies, they tend to have wonderful stories. New Horizons and Destiny of an Emperor are both good RPGs, and they have more grounded takes on alternate history games. Neither game leans into fantasy all that much when it comes to the gameplay.Continue reading “Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor”

Robotrek and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are both turn-based RPGs on the SNES, and they’re fairly simple games.

Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons

Robtrek and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons are both games I first played on an emulator. It wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that I got the games on the SNES. It was fun to look for these games back in the day. One of these games is more realistic, and the other isContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons”

Which is better? Inindo: Way of the Ninja or New Horizons

Inindo: Way of the Ninja and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons were both made by Koei and released in the early 1990s. Both games are open world RPGs, which is something totally different from other RPGs on the SNES. They do have some significant differences. Inindo is an odd game, but it has some very goodContinue reading “Which is better? Inindo: Way of the Ninja or New Horizons”

New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of the more unique RPGs on the home console. It was released for the SNES and the Genesis, but the one I’m most familiar with is the SNES version.

Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Phantasy Star II are very different RPGs. One of them is a starter game meant to introduce new players to the genre. The other is a more complete game and has more of what I expect from a console RPG. It is always fun for me to compare games toContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II”

Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

These two games feel like polar opposites. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Sweet Home have very little in common with each other. One is a bright and colorful starter RPG, and the other is an RPG mashed together with a survival horror game. It’s comparisons like this that make this whole series a ton ofContinue reading “Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
