I have very few memories of Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES. This is one of the many games that LJN published, and it is one of their better games. Like several other games from LJN, it is an ambitious game with some cool ideas. None of which was fully realized. Unlike Friday theContinue reading “Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games”

Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game
The Resident Evil series has been taken in some odd directions in recent years. I remember being a little confused by the inclusion of other monsters, because I remember it as being a game about avoiding zombies and solving puzzles. This is what happens when you only play a few games in the series andContinue reading “Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game”
Shove It! on the Genesis is an Easy Puzzle Game
Shove it! is a puzzle game for the Sega Genesis. It was released in 1990 and is part of the Sokoban series. What you do in this game is move boxes around a warehouse to get them into special spots on the floor. It is a simple puzzle game, but it can be a littleContinue reading “Shove It! on the Genesis is an Easy Puzzle Game”
Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad
I’m going to dive back into LJN’s collection of superhero games on the NES. I’ve already looked at their awful X-Men game, so I’ll be looking at their Wolverine game. There was a low bar for this game to clear, and it managed not to trip as it stepped over it. This game was releasedContinue reading “Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad”
Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game
Dragon Quest II is a step up from the first game. It is also a game that I really want to like. When I played it a few years ago, I enjoyed most of the game, but I found it frustrating. There are a lot of good things in this game. The graphics didn’t seeContinue reading “Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game”
Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs
Breath of Fire III was the first PS1 game I bought. I’m not sure why I went with this game, especially since I hadn’t played the other two games in the series. There was just something about it that made me want to play it. I’m pretty sure I bought this game and a PS1Continue reading “Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs”
Back to the Future, One of the Worst NES Games
I’m going to revisit some of the games I played with my friends. This time, it is Back to the Future on the NES. It was published by LJN, which is normally the kiss of death for most retro games. Movie-based games get a bad wrap, because most of them aren’t very good. Many times,Continue reading “Back to the Future, One of the Worst NES Games”
King of the Monsters 2 on the Genesis is a Strange Game
King of the Monsters 2 for the Sega Genesis is a different game from the SNES and arcade game. Instead of being a beat’em up or having beat’em up stages, this is a tournament fighter. I’m not sure why this was done. This isn’t the first multi-console release to do something like this. Sometimes itContinue reading “King of the Monsters 2 on the Genesis is a Strange Game”
SmackDown! Just Bring It a Great Game on the PS2
SmackDown!: Just Bring It is the third game in the series. It was released in November 2001 for the PS2. This is one of the many games I’ve never played, and I’m wondering what I was doing in November that caused me to miss this game. I was in my final year of high school,Continue reading “SmackDown! Just Bring It a Great Game on the PS2”
Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game
The PS1 library is full of RPGs that I’ve never heard of. Every time I think I know about them, I manage to find a few more. I know this won’t last forever, but at the moment, it feels like I keep stumbling across a new one every other month. Vanguard Bandits is one ofContinue reading “Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game”
