One of my favorite RPGs is Destiny of an Emperor on the NES. I found it one day while I was looking for a ROM to download. It was one of those days when I was home sick and didn’t have anything else to do. I spent most of the day playing it, and IContinue reading “A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor”

Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game
Tail of the Sun is a bizarre game. It is an action-adventure game where you play as a tribe of cavemen. You only control one at a time, and in theory, they get stronger with each generation. This is one of my favorite PS1 games because of how weird it is. It has a simpleContinue reading “Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game”
WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game
I’m a little more forgiving when it comes to the Acclaim wrestling games. They aren’t great games, but they have a charm that I like. I consider them to be average games on the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. The Game Boy conversions are a different matter altogether. There was no way the developers could portContinue reading “WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game”
Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour
Rampage 2: Universal Tour was released in 1999, and is the third game in the series. It is a sequel to World Tour, which was released in 1997. The gameplay had some minor changes, but it is mostly the same game. One thing I like about this game is how it continued the story fromContinue reading “Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour”
One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES
The first Harvest Moon is where the farming simulation games started for me. I remember a friend telling me about it in the late 1990s, and we eventually found the ROM online. So, my first experience with the game was on an emulator. Harvest Moon was released in 1997 on the SNES. This was veryContinue reading “One of the First Cozy Games, Harvest Moon on the SNES”
Trapt: An Underwhelming Survival Game
Trapt is an odd game in the Deception series. For some reason, Tecmo decided to drop the series name for this game. I stumbled across this game in the mid-2000s when I was in the Navy. In Japan, this game was called Kagero II, which adds to the confusion for people following this series. TraptContinue reading “Trapt: An Underwhelming Survival Game”
Gekido: Urban Combat, a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1
Gekido: Urban Fighters is a beat’em up for the PS1. It was released in North America in June 2000. This is one of the games that was first released in Europe and later brought to North America. I really want to like this game, but something is holding it back. The gameplay and controls areContinue reading “Gekido: Urban Combat, a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1”
Brigandine is a Wonderful Strategy Game on the PS1
Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena is a strategy RPG for the PS1. There is a sequel to this game which changes the subtitle. Initially I thought it was a remaster or remake, but it is a direct sequel. I remember owning this game when I was younger but didn’t spend much time with it. IContinue reading “Brigandine is a Wonderful Strategy Game on the PS1”
