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”

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”
Super Double Dragon on the SNES Review
The Double Dragon games on the NES seemed everywhere in my neighborhood. Whether they were being rented or someone owned them, It seemed like everyone played them. The SNES games were an exception. The SNES is a blind spot for me. Most of the games I played were games my friends rented. Super Double DragonContinue reading “Super Double Dragon on the SNES Review”
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.

SNES Wrestling Games Ranked from Worst to Best
The wrestling games on the SNES look much better than the NES. Sadly, they don’t always play better than the NES games. Some of the games I was looking forward to were a big letdown, and I was surprised by a few of them. LJN published three games on the SNES; they all suffer fromContinue reading “SNES Wrestling Games Ranked from Worst to Best”
Natsume Championship Wrestling is Good, Not the Best
Natsume Championship Wrestling (NCW) is the game I was most looking forward to when I started playing the SNES wrestling games. It looks good, but I didn’t enjoy playing it. The controls took a long time to get used to. The game has a big roster, but those wrestlers don’t feel special. The roster feelsContinue reading “Natsume Championship Wrestling is Good, Not the Best”
WWF Super WrestleMania on the SNES is Disappointing
WWF Super WrestleMania was the first wrestling game published by LJN on the SNES. It isn’t good, but it does show you the direction these games were going in. It has the same control scheme as the other LJN games but leaves the stupid gauge out of the grapples. There isn’t much here. The controlsContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania on the SNES is Disappointing”
Best Rental Memories on the SNES
The SNES is one of the many consoles I missed in the early 90s. My family bought a PC instead of another console. Thankfully, a few of my friends had the Sega Genesis or the SNES. This was how I first played many of my favorite games. My friend Drew was the person I playedContinue reading “Best Rental Memories on the SNES”
The Best WWF Game on the SNES
WWF Royal Rumble plays like a better version of WWF Raw. The controls are better, the graphics are about the same, and the roster is about the same. The two games are very similar, but Royal Rumble is better. However, the same issues from WWF Raw are present in Royal Rumble. The characters play theContinue reading “The Best WWF Game on the SNES”
