TMNT: The Arcade game is one of the few arcade games I remember playing. That’s because it was everywhere, or at least that is how it felt. I didn’t grow up near an arcade, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t play arcade games. They were at movie theaters, restaurants, bowling alleys, and amusement centers. TheContinue reading “TMNT II is a Great Game on the NES”

Ristar, A Great Platformer on the Genesis
Ristar is one of the many retro games that I didn’t know about until I started paying attention to the internet. This was in the mid 2010s, after I had finished college and moved to Washington, D.C. I found myself with more time on my hands than I had before, and I started collecting retroContinue reading “Ristar, A Great Platformer on the Genesis”
Which is better? Phantasy Star III vs Robotrek
Robotrek and Phantasy Star III are both unique games, but for different reasons. Both games are science fiction, which is a fun change of pace from the high fantasy games I’ve been looking at. We also get a match up of an SNES game and a Sega Genesis game. Robotrek is one of the gamesContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star III vs Robotrek”
Which is better? Dragon Quest III or DQ IV
Dragon Quest III and IV are two of my favorite games on the NES. They’re very good RPGs, and they do something a little different from the other games on the console. These are fairly important games in the Dragon Quest series. The third game brings the first trilogy of games to an end. ItContinue reading “Which is better? Dragon Quest III or DQ IV”
Which is better? Dragon Quest II or DQ IV
Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest IV have quite a few similarities. Both are high fantasy games, have party systems, and are fun in their own way. There were a lot of improvements made between the second and the fourth games. Dragon Quest II improved on the first game in the series quite a bit.Continue reading “Which is better?

Dragon Quest IV: Best of the Four NES Games
Dragon Quest IV is my favorite game in the series at this point. Granted, I’ve only played five of the games, so I have a long way to go. When you just look at the other NES RPGs, this one really stands out because of how different it is. This game is more cinematic thanContinue reading “Dragon Quest IV: Best of the Four NES Games”
Which is better? Robotrek or Dragon Quest II
This is going to be a tough one to get through for me. Dragon Quest II and Robotrek are very different games, and I’ve had different reactions to them when I first played them. One of them instantly grabbed my attention, and the other ended up wearing me down as I played it. Both areContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek or Dragon Quest II”
Which is better? Robotrek or Phantasy Star II
It has been a while since I’ve compared two science fiction games to each other. This time, I’ll be looking at Robotrek and Phantasy Star II. This should be fun because I really like one of these games, and the other is something that I want to like more than I do. Robotrek is aContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Robotrek vs Destiny of an Emperor
This is going to be another odd one. Robotrek and Destiny of an Emperor don’t have much in common. There aren’t too many RPGs out there that are similar to them. One interesting thing is that neither game has magic. These are two games that I played on an emulator first before finding the cartridgesContinue reading “Which is better?
