A few weeks ago, I looked at the best SNES games that I’ve played so far. I’ve also looked at the NES games that I’ve played. Now, I want to look at the Sega Genesis games that I’ve played and make a list of those. I don’t think I’ve played as many games for thisContinue reading “The Best Games on the Genesis (2026 Update)”

Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great
Mutant League Hockey is the second and final game in the short-lived Mutant League series. After this game, EA abandoned the series for some reason. I can only assume that it didn’t catch on in the way that EA wanted it to, or that they wanted to focus on their other sports games. Hockey isContinue reading “Mutant League Hockey | Good but Not Great”
Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
These two games feel like polar opposites. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Sweet Home have very little in common with each other. One is a bright and colorful starter RPG, and the other is an RPG mashed together with a survival horror game. It’s comparisons like this that make this whole series a ton ofContinue reading “Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
Which is better? Dragon Quest III vs Phantasy Star II
Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star II are turn-based RPGs with good stories and gameplay. They have a lot of differences between them, which makes for a fun comparison. Having a science fiction RPG and a high fantasy RPG makes things more interesting for me when I write these. Phantasy Star II is a gameContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Robotrek or Inindo: Way of the Ninja
Inindo and Robotrek are both turn-based RPGs that have similar approaches to combat. After that, things are very different. Their settings, gameplay, and story differ greatly. These are both weird games, and that is part of the reason I like them. It has been a while since I’ve written about Robotrek. This is one ofContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek or Inindo: Way of the Ninja”
Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG
Inindo: Way of the Ninja was released in 1991 in Japan and then in 1993 in North America. This is a turn-based RPG where you play as a ninja, and you’re trying to get revenge on Nobunaga. Like other Koei games, this is based on historical events. Koei has an odd track record with RPGs.Continue reading “Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG”
Adventure Island II is better than the first game
Adventure Island II was developed by Now Productions and published by Hudson Soft. It was released in North America and Japan in 1991 and in Europe in 1992. The game was released on the NES first, and then ported to the Game Boy. This is one of the many games that I’ve never played before.Continue reading “Adventure Island II is better than the first game”
Which is Better? PS III or Sweet Home
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? Dragon Quest II vs III”
