A Look at Brawl Brothers on the SNES

Brawl Brothers is a beat’em up from Jaleco. I did review this game a while ago, but for some reason, I didn’t write a blog post for it. That is what I’m going to do today! I played this game a few years ago, and I revisited it for this. Back then, I thought theContinue reading “A Look at Brawl Brothers on the SNES”

Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!

Mutant Football League is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive and is a fantastic arcade football game. This game has a wild story, which isn’t something you normally see in a sports game. The developers explained why all these creatures have gathered together to play American football. This game was released in 1993, and a yearContinue reading “Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!”

Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game

Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye is a very simple puzzle game. It isn’t really a sequel as much as it is a graphical improvement over the previous game. This is a fun little puzzle game, but it lacks content. This is a version of Mahjong Solitaire. There are a few different layouts, but it is essentiallyContinue reading “Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye, a Simple but Fun Puzzle game”

Ikari Warriors III on the NES, Not Great

Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue takes the series in another direction. We’re no longer fighting aliens, which is a little disappointing. I would’ve liked to see what alien race these two random soldiers would fight. It was released in 1989, which is the only date I have for this game. I can only assume thatContinue reading “Ikari Warriors III on the NES, Not Great”

Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy

Dragon Quest III is one of the many games that I first played on an emulator back in the mid 1990s. After playing it, I picked up the game when I was collecting retro games in the 2000s. I really didn’t think much of it until I started making YouTube videos. From what I rememberContinue reading “Dragon Quest III: The Greatest Game in the First Trilogy”

Tecmo Super Bowl: One of the Best NES Games

Tecmo Bowl holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first football games I ever played, and something that I enjoyed with my friends when I was a kid. The second game in the series, Tecmo Super Bowl, was one of the few NES games that my family owned. It wasContinue reading “Tecmo Super Bowl: One of the Best NES Games”

One of the Best LJN NES Games

The Punisher on the NES really stands out from the other games in the LJN library. A big reason for this is that it is a good game. In this case, the developers took Marvel’s property and turned it into something fun! This is a rail shooter where you play as The Punisher, and youContinue reading “One of the Best LJN NES Games”

Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game

Golden Axe II is one of my favorite beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. It is an improvement over the first console game, which is what you should expect. They didn’t completely reinvent the wheel, but Sega did make a few improvements. This game is a sequel to the console game, but not the firstContinue reading “Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game”

Nightmare on Elm Street: One of the Better LJN Games

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”

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”
