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”
Knights of the Round on the SNES is an Amazing Beat’em Up
Knights of the Round is a fantastic beat’em up with some RPG elements. Capcom released the game in the arcades in 1991 and ported it to the SNES in 1994. Some changes were made to the game but were understandable for the time. In some ways, the game reminds me of the Golden Axe games.Continue reading “Knights of the Round on the SNES is an Amazing Beat’em Up”
Paladin’s Quest an Excellent but Frustrating RPG
Paladin’s Quest is a game I’ve tried to get into so many times. I attempted to play this game countless times in the 1990s when I was downloading ROMs to play. This time, I played through as much of this game as I could. It has everything that I would want in an RPG. Paladin’sContinue reading “Paladin’s Quest an Excellent but Frustrating RPG”
The 10 Best Beat’em Ups on the SNES
I love a good Beat’em Up. While they can be repetitive and are better in the arcades, many were released on home consoles. They were ports of arcade games, but a few were unique to consoles like the SNES, SNES, NES, etc. I have many memories of playing these games with my friend Drew. SomeContinue reading “The 10 Best Beat’em Ups on the SNES”
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Nostalgia brought me here
Battletoads is one of those properties that is fondly remembered. The NES game isn’t that great, but it can be fun. Its main issue is being way too hard. I don’t remember hearing about this game until the 2010s. I didn’t have Nintendo Power, and the PC magazine I was subscribed to never mentioned consoleContinue reading “Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Nostalgia brought me here”
Captain America and the Avengers on the SNES not as good as Genesis Version.
Captain America and the Avengers is a 1991 beat’em up by Data East. The game was ported to the Sega Genesis and the SNES. A version of it was brought to the NES, but that game was turned into a forgettable side-scrolling action game. I wish I had known about the arcade game. It probablyContinue reading “Captain America and the Avengers on the SNES not as good as Genesis Version.”
Its Like a Simple Double Dragon, Technos The Combatribes
The Combatribes was released in the arcades in 1990. Technos brought it to the SNES in 1992, the version of the game we’re playing. There are several differences between the two versions. I never saw the arcade game, and I had never heard of the SNES version. A story was added to the SNES game,Continue reading “Its Like a Simple Double Dragon, Technos The Combatribes”
The Best Beat’em Up on the SNES, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time has nothing to do with the movie and is based on one of Konami’s arcade games. While I have never played the arcade game, I have some memories of the SNES game. This was one of the games I was introduced to while collecting retro games inContinue reading “The Best Beat’em Up on the SNES, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time”
