Castlevania Chronicles was a late release on the PS1. Konami released the game in 2001, and it is a remake of the first game. It is fun that they did this, especially since the game is quite good. This is not a game that I played as a kid. I might’ve seen it in storesContinue reading “Castlevania Chronicles is a Great PS1 Game”

NBA Hoopz on the PS1 isn’t Great
NBA Hoopz is the third game in Midway’s spinoff series. This series is more like three games that happen to use the same style and were made by Midway. Since they couldn’t use the NBA Jam name (because Acclaim was busy running that series into the ground), we got HangTime, ShowTime, and Hoopz. There wereContinue reading “NBA Hoopz on the PS1 isn’t Great”
NBA Jam Extreme is Good but far from Great
Do you remember the game NBA Jam Extreme? I didn’t, and I don’t even remember seeing this game in stores. There are a handful of games that I remember seeing at stores like Best Buy, Meijer, and Circuit City throughout the 1990s. This wasn’t one of them. I do applaud Acclaim’s restraint here. They could’veContinue reading “NBA Jam Extreme is Good but far from Great”
Acclaim: An Odd Publishing Company
Acclaim is one of those companies that has an odd history. Many of its terrible games were hidden under the LJN and Flying Edge labels, and it had a long relationship with Midway and WWF/WWE. They did publish some great games, especially the ports of Midway’s arcade games. This is one of the companies thatContinue reading “Acclaim: An Odd Publishing Company”
Retro Games that I like more now, and some that I don’t
I went over some of the games that I didn’t like when I played them; now I want to go over some of the games that I’ve changed my mind about. This will be a mix of games that I like more now and ones that I like less. Thankfully, there aren’t any that I’veContinue reading “Retro Games that I like more now, and some that I don’t”
The Worst Retro Games I’ve Played so far
I’ve looked back at some of the best games that I’ve played in different genres, mostly the ones that I enjoy. This time I want to look at some of the worst games I’ve played. This won’t be limited to a specific genre and will draw from games I’ve played for my YouTube channel asContinue reading “The Worst Retro Games I’ve Played so far”
Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great
Kartia: Worlds of Fate is a tactical RPG on the PS1. This is one of my favorite games on the system. While it isn’t as good as games like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics, I enjoy the game as much as Saiyuki and Vandal Hearts. It is a pretty unique game, and uses aContinue reading “Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great”
Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game
I have never played the Katamari Damacy games. My only experience with them has been through one of the books from Boss Fight Books. It got me interested in trying the game out. It took me a while to actually sit down and play it, though. From the book, I know a little about theContinue reading “Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game”
Legends of Wrestling II: Better than the First, still not Great
Legends of Wrestling II was released in 2002. The first game in the series was decent, but it had quite a few problems. I played the GameCube versions of the first two games, and the PS2 version of the first. I’ll be looking at the PS2 version of this game. This game looks a littleContinue reading “Legends of Wrestling II: Better than the First, still not Great”
RoTK VII: The Best Game in the Series
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII might sound like an odd choice for a game to look at. It is right in the middle of the series, and much of what it does has been improved on. The game was released in the early 2000s on the PS2. This is my favorite game in theContinue reading “RoTK VII: The Best Game in the Series”
