This one was rather difficult. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Dragon Quest II are, for the most part, very different games. They do have a few things in common. In terms of difficulty, they couldn’t be further apart. As I’ve gone through these games, things are getting a little harder. With Final Fantasy Mystic Quest,Continue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Robotrek or Inindo: Way of the Ninja
Inindo and Robotrek are both turn-based RPGs that have similar approaches to combat. After that, things are very different. Their settings, gameplay, and story differ greatly.

The Much-Maligned Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Better than you think
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is a starter RPG that was supposed to help introduce the genre to North America. At the time it was released, RPGs weren’t as popular as they are now.

Exploring Actraiser: The Blend of Action and City-Building
Actraiser is a spectacular game for the SNES. It manages to combine SimCity with a side-scrolling action RPG. This is a combination that I didn’t know I wanted until I played it.
