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.

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.

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.”

Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge”
