Phantasy Star III and Sweet Home are wildly different RPGs. Both of them are fairly unique when I compare them to the other RPGs I’ve played. There are a few similarities, but these games have far more differences. Most of the differences are in the gameplay, story, and setting. This is a common occurrence whenContinue reading “Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home”

The Much-Maligned Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Better than you think
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is a starter RPG that was supposed to help introduce the genre to North America. At the time it was released, RPGs weren’t as popular as they are now. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what the reviews in the 1990s were like. It was an odd choice for Square toContinue reading “The Much-Maligned Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Better than you think”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs III
Between Dragon Quest II and III, Enix made a few significant changes to the core gameplay of their RPG series. Both games are improvements over the first game in the series. They have similar settings, stories, and game mechanics. It is interesting to watch this series slowly evolve from game to game. Enix tried toContinue reading “Which is Better?

Which is Better? Dragon Quest vs Dragon Quest III
The Dragon Quest series usually makes minor changes from game to game while keeping the same general style. Looking at the third and first games, you can see how much the series changed in a few short years. It is fun to see where things started and how things have changed. The setting and storyContinue reading “Which is Better? Dragon Quest vs Dragon Quest III”
The Punisher: One of the Best Genesis Beat’em Ups
The Punisher is a good, but basic beat’em up. It is more grounded than the other superhero beat’em ups from the 1990s. This is a Capcom beat’em up, and it was ported to the Sega Genesis. I couldn’t find any information on a possible SNES port. This is an exclusive game for the Genesis, butContinue reading “The Punisher: One of the Best Genesis Beat’em Ups”
The Best Home Alone Game is on the Genesis
Home Alone was one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the theater. Every year, my dad would go deer hunting, and my mom would take us to the movies. We didn’t go to the movies that often, so it was very memorable. I only have one memory of the NES game, andContinue reading “The Best Home Alone Game is on the Genesis”
Which is Better? Dragon Quest II vs Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star III and Dragon Quest II are both turn-based RPGs. They have some similar game mechanics, but differ significantly in most areas. These two series have been my favorite to compare, so far. It feels like the Phantasy Star series is one step ahead of the Dragon Quest series. I know that it isn’tContinue reading “Which is Better?

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”
Paperboy One of the Worst N64 Games
A few years ago, I played through the Paperboy games. I had played them before and was looking forward to playing them. Paperboy 64 was the one game that I hadn’t played before making a video on it. It is an odd entry in the series. While it is an arcade-style game, it does aContinue reading “Paperboy One of the Worst N64 Games”
Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic
Altered Beat is a Greek and Roman mythologically themed beat’em up. Sega originally released the game in the arcades, and then used it as a pack-in for the Genesis. It was used as a way to show off what the console was capable of. While it did a decent job of this, it didn’t necessarilyContinue reading “Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic”
