NFL Quarterback Club 2000 is where the series really fell apart. This game was released in 1999 on the N64 and the Dreamcast. I’ll be looking at the N64 version, and I’m not planning on getting the Dreamcast version. Given the review scores from 1999, this is going to suck! Iguana handled the previous gamesContinue reading “NFL QB Club 2000 is Not Great”

Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99
NFL Quarterback Club 99 was an N64 exclusive. It was released in 1998 and is the fifth game in Acclaim’s football series. Unlike the previous game in the series, the developer was only working on versions of this game for the N64 and the PC. The PC version was never released. There were a fewContinue reading “Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99”
Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis
Super Smash TV isn’t a sequel to Midway’s arcade game or the NES game. It was released in 1992 and is a graphical improvement over the NES version. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version of the game for this review. Acclaim used Flying Edge to publish this game. It is a little odd, butContinue reading “Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis”
Smash TV: Great Arcade Game, Fun on the NES
Smash TV is a twin-stick shooter that was originally released in the arcades in 1990. It was later ported to just about everything. Midway developed the arcade game, and Acclaim published the ports. Some of the ports were published by Acclaim’s other publishing labels, such as Flying Edge. Because of the game’s control scheme, I’mContinue reading “Smash TV: Great Arcade Game, Fun on the NES”
Beetlejuice: One of the Worst NES Games
Beetlejuice was a huge deal for a short period of time, much like other fads that entered pop culture. I remember the movie, the cartoon, and some of the merchandise surrounding it. Heck, my school picture from kindergarten has me wearing a Beetlejuice t-shirt. I vaguely remember playing the NES game. My friend Joey rentedContinue reading “Beetlejuice: One of the Worst NES Games”
NFL QB Club 96 on the SNES Looks Great
NFL Quarterback Club 96 is the follow up to the first game in the series. This game was released in late 1995 and uses the active roster for that season. The biggest improvement made to this game is having the NFLPA license. This means you’re actually playing as your favorite players, or at least theContinue reading “NFL QB Club 96 on the SNES Looks Great”
NFL Quarterback Club, Good but not Great
NFL Quarterback Club is one of the many games that I didn’t know existed when I was a kid. This is one of the few games that got a handheld release before the home console version. The Game Boy game was released in 1993, and then the SNES and Genesis got the game in 1994.Continue reading “NFL Quarterback Club, Good but not Great”
Rampart: Good Arcade Game, Not a Great Console Game
Rampart is a game that I’m pretty sure I’ve played before, but I don’t remember. It is a combination of a strategy game and Tetris. Originally released as an arcade game in 1990, Rampart was eventually ported to just about everything. It had some influence over the Tower Defense genre, which would become popular inContinue reading “Rampart: Good Arcade Game, Not a Great Console Game”
Paperboy 2 on the Genesis isn’t that Great
There isn’t too much that I can say about the Sega Genesis version of Paperboy 2. The core game isn’t all that different from the original or the SNES version of Paperboy 2. Sometimes there is a difference between the SNES and Genesis versions of the game, but that isn’t the case here. While theContinue reading “Paperboy 2 on the Genesis isn’t that Great”
Paperboy 2 on the SNES is a Good Arcade game
Paperboy 2 was released in 1991, and depending on the version of the game you’re looking at, it was developed and published by a different company. This game wasn’t in the arcades, but it has many similarities to an arcade game. I’ll be looking at the SNES version, which was published by Mindscape. There wereContinue reading “Paperboy 2 on the SNES is a Good Arcade game”
