Robotrek and Final Fantasy are pretty different games. They have different approaches to just about everything, but there are a handful of similarities. Many of them are because these are both turn based RPGs, and they have similar approaches to telling their story. These are two of my favorite RPGs. Final Fantasy was the firstContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy”

Rival Turf! Not Terrible but Not Great
Rival Turf! is an odd beat’em up that was butchered in localization. The game had a number of changes that really harmed its overall presentation. The story was gutted from the game. This is the first game in the Rushing Beat series. Outside of Japan, these games don’t appear to be connected in any way.Continue reading “Rival Turf! Not Terrible but Not Great”
Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor
Alternate history settings make for great RPGs. While the quality of the games varies, they tend to have wonderful stories. New Horizons and Destiny of an Emperor are both good RPGs, and they have more grounded takes on alternate history games. Neither game leans into fantasy all that much when it comes to the gameplay.Continue reading “Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor”
Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Robotrek and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are both turn-based RPGs on the SNES, and they’re fairly simple games. Neither takes that long to beat, and in some ways, they feel like starter games in the genre. They also have some similar gameplay mechanics. It is a lot of fun for me to compare a scienceContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
Robtrek and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons are both games I first played on an emulator. It wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that I got the games on the SNES. It was fun to look for these games back in the day. One of these games is more realistic, and the other isContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons”
New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is one of the more unique RPGs on the home console. It was released for the SNES and the Genesis, but the one I’m most familiar with is the SNES version. This is one of the games that I first played on an emulator in the late 1990s, and then foundContinue reading “New Horizons: A Hidden Gem on the SNES”
Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Phantasy Star II are very different RPGs. One of them is a starter game meant to introduce new players to the genre. The other is a more complete game and has more of what I expect from a console RPG. It is always fun for me to compare games toContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II”
Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game
I have never played the Katamari Damacy games. My only experience with them has been through one of the books from Boss Fight Books. It got me interested in trying the game out. It took me a while to actually sit down and play it, though. From the book, I know a little about theContinue reading “Katamari Damacy on the PS2: A Great Game”
Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star III and Final Fantasy are both turn-based RPGs that I’ve changed my mind about over the years. One of them is a game that I’ve become very tired of playing, and the other is something that I’ve gotten a newfound interest in. Both are good games, and they have some great things inContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III”
Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great
So, we’ve come to Konami’s entry in the genre of pro wrestling games. Rumble Roses is an all-female wrestling game, which is something that existed for a while. Most of these games never left Japan, which is a shame in some cases. This is a tamer version of some of the other female wrestling gamesContinue reading “Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great”
