I remember in the early 90s, I picked up a video game magazine, and on the front of it was an advertisement for Super Castlevania IV! The article was so hyped for the game, calling the graphics “hyper-realistic” and that you would “sometimes just want to pause to look at the scenery.” While the game… Read More SNES Review – Super Castlevania IV
Super Mario Bros 2 was a game I rented early in my NES days. It was quite different from its predecessor – and this was something my brother and I were not prepared for! When we rented the game – we couldn’t even get past the first boss no matter how much we jumped on… Read More NES Review – Super Mario Bros 2
Lagoon was a game that I never owned growing up – but a friend of mine did, so I traded games! I remember my friend’s older brother tells me that Lagoon was awesome compared to The Legend of Zelda.

In terms of gameplay – this game is a puzzle… Read More N64 Review – Pokemon Puzzle League
This is a very special game for me. I remember when this game came out – I didn’t buy it right away. A friend of mine from camp told me how was awesome it was – how you could stay in hotels, order pizzas, and how some of the enemies were actually vomit! The game… Read More SNES Review – Earthbound
Hagane: The Final Conflict is one of the rarest games that I own. It’s rare because it never had a commercial release and was primarily a Blockbuster Rental Exclusive. While I never rented it, I did play it years ago on an emulator. But it wasn’t until the end of my medical school training that… Read More SNES Review – Hagane
When I turned 7, my brother and I got this game for our birthday from my Nanny and Papa. My brother and I were super stocked when we got it because it had Yoshi in it and he was in Super Mario World! Once we got the game started I became a little disappointed because… Read More NES Review – Yoshi
Similar to many other games that I have reviewed on this website, I never heard about this one until the last few years. I actually learned about it through a YouTube channel Classic Game Room.
