Since I’ve reviewed wrestling games on the NES, Game Boy, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, and Dreamcast, I decided to list the games I enjoyed the most. This isn’t a best of list, it is simply the games I enjoyed more than the others, or was surprised by. I had never played many of these gamesContinue reading “The Best Retro Wrestling Games”

From Harvest Moon to Stardew Valley: Two Great Cozy Games
I’ve been playing quite a bit of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley recently. I wrote a review for Harvest Moon on the SNES, and about my experiences with Stardew Valley. Revisiting these two games has made me think about how far the Farming/Life simulation games have come. I’m not sure if Harvest Moon was theContinue reading “From Harvest Moon to Stardew Valley: Two Great Cozy Games”
A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed
I’ve been playing quite a few RPGs over the last few years. Many of the retro games I’ve played were games I remember playing when I was young. These were games I tried to beat, but put them down when I became bored or when life got in the way. I’ve reviewed each of theseContinue reading “A List of the Best Retro RPGs I’ve Reviewed”
One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES
The first Harvest Moon is where the farming simulation games started for me. I remember a friend telling me about it in the late 1990s, and we eventually found the ROM online. So, my first experience with the game was on an emulator. Harvest Moon was released in 1997 on the SNES. This was veryContinue reading “One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES”
Captain Commando: A Wonderful Capcom Beat’em Up
I missed a few beat’em ups when compiling lists for the SNES, Genesis, and NES. I’ve covered a few of them already, but I wanted to come back to one on the SNES. Captain Commando was released by Capcom in the arcades in 1991 and was ported to the SNES in 1995. Strangely, it tookContinue reading “Captain Commando: A Wonderful Capcom Beat’em Up”
Tecmo’s Secret of the Stars: Could’ve been Great, but is Disappointing
I had never heard of this game before. Tecmo Secret of the Stars is a unique RPG for the SNES, and I like it a lot! When I was a kid, I don’t remember anyone talking about this game, and I think it is as good as the best RPGs on the console. I findContinue reading “Tecmo’s Secret of the Stars: Could’ve been Great, but is Disappointing”
The Best Beat’em ups I’ve played so far
The beat’em up genre is one of my favorites. These are my go-to games to relax and unwind from some of the more complex video games. You don’t need to follow a story, worry about getting lost, or anything else. Just go straight and punch bad guys in the face. There is more to theseContinue reading “The Best Beat’em ups I’ve played so far”
The 7th Saga has Beautiful Graphics and Frustrating Gameplay
The 7th Saga is one of the many video games I tried to get into when looking for ROMs in the 1990s. Much like Paladin’s Quest, I would try to play the game, not understand it, and play something else. This time, I’m going to give it a serious try. There are some great thingsContinue reading “The 7th Saga has Beautiful Graphics and Frustrating Gameplay”
The 10 Best Creepy Horror Games on the SNES
Nintendo isn’t known for having horror games. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t horror games on Nintendo consoles; it just means that they aren’t as prominent as they are now. The SNES has several horror theme games. There were more games in Japan. These games never made it to the US for a variety ofContinue reading “The 10 Best Creepy Horror Games on the SNES”
The King of Dragons is one of the Best Beat’em Ups on the SNES
The King of Dragons feels a beat’em up inspired by Gauntlet and Dungeons and Dragons. Much like Knights of the Round, The King of Dragons was released by Capcom in the arcades in 1991. It would be ported to the SNES in 1994. I wonder why Capcom waited to port this game to the SNES.Continue reading “The King of Dragons is one of the Best Beat’em Ups on the SNES”
