Phantasy Star II and III are both good RPGs. Both games have great stories, cool settings, and great graphics. You can tell that the games were made by different development teams. While these games are in the same series, they are quite different. You can tell that there were several improvements made from game toContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star II vs III”

Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home
Destiny of an Emperor and Sweet Home are radically different takes on the RPG genre. Both are unique games, and they don’t play like anything else. That is one of the reasons I like both of them. I’ve played Destiny of an Emperor quite a bit over the years, and it is one of myContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor vs Sweet Home”
Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game
The Resident Evil series has been taken in some odd directions in recent years. I remember being a little confused by the inclusion of other monsters, because I remember it as being a game about avoiding zombies and solving puzzles. This is what happens when you only play a few games in the series andContinue reading “Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game”
Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad
I’m going to dive back into LJN’s collection of superhero games on the NES. I’ve already looked at their awful X-Men game, so I’ll be looking at their Wolverine game. There was a low bar for this game to clear, and it managed not to trip as it stepped over it. This game was releasedContinue reading “Wolverine: Better than The X-Men, but still Bad”
Phantasy Star I vs. II, Which is Better?
The first two Phantasy Star games are very good, and saw the developers make a few changes to the gameplay. The stories are different, and the setting is the same for the most part. The games take place 1,000 years apart, so I can understand some significant changes to the solar system in which theContinue reading “Phantasy Star I vs. II, Which is Better?”
Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game
Dragon Quest II is a step up from the first game. It is also a game that I really want to like. When I played it a few years ago, I enjoyed most of the game, but I found it frustrating. There are a lot of good things in this game. The graphics didn’t seeContinue reading “Dragon Quest II is Much Better than the First Game”
A Look Back at Final Fantasy on the NES
Final Fantasy on the NES is one of the first RPGs I ever played. When I first started playing it, I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I just wandered around getting into random fights and eventually died. I had no idea that I was supposed to buy and equip weaponsContinue reading “A Look Back at Final Fantasy on the NES”
The First Dragon Quest, A Great RPG
Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) was one of the first RPGs released for the NES. It is a fun but short game that is still fun to play today. When I went back to play this game for another project, I was surprised by how short it actually is. I’ve only played this a few times,Continue reading “The First Dragon Quest, A Great RPG”
Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs
Breath of Fire III was the first PS1 game I bought. I’m not sure why I went with this game, especially since I hadn’t played the other two games in the series. There was just something about it that made me want to play it. I’m pretty sure I bought this game and a PS1Continue reading “Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs”
Back to the Future, One of the Worst NES Games
I’m going to revisit some of the games I played with my friends. This time, it is Back to the Future on the NES. It was published by LJN, which is normally the kiss of death for most retro games. Movie-based games get a bad wrap, because most of them aren’t very good. Many times,Continue reading “Back to the Future, One of the Worst NES Games”
