For my 31st birthday, I splurged and picked up this gem of a game. I first played Mega Man 7 when I was in grade 6 – my brother and I rented the game for a weekend and ended up beating it. At the time I was already a huge fan of the new Mega… Read More SNES Review – Mega Man 7
Gargoyle’s Quest is one of those games I had no idea existed until I got back into retro gamin over the past year. Turns out this is the first in a trilogy of games that ended with Demon’s Crest for SNES! It stars the evil monster Firebrand (from the Ghouls and Ghosts game series) who turns out… Read More Game Boy Review – Gargoyle’s Quest
Outrun is a classic arcade game that I first played back in the 90’s. It was different than all others because it was solely a one-player game and was more about driving than racing! I had a chance to pick up the Genesis port recently and wanted to give it a shot again, as I remembered… Read More Genesis Review – Outrun
Today I turn 31 years old. It reminds me of one of my best birthdays ever…involving Super Mario 64! I remember walking into our local Microplay during the summer of 1996 and seeing one of the N64 test units running Mario 64. I knew right then and there that I HAD TO HAVE IT, and so my brother… Read More N64 Review – Super Mario 64
Gunsmoke is one of those games I had no idea existed until I played it following my collection crusade over the past year. This weekend, I sat down with my twin bro and blasted through some levels. Essentially, it’s a cool Capcom arcade shooter, but unique in that instead of taking control of a space ships blowing… Read More NES Review – Gunsmoke
Gundam Wing was the first Anime that I watched that was not kid-focused like Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon. When I saw it on TV, I was blown away by how amazing the robots were, how cool the art was, and how it blended war drama with awesome space combat. How cool would it be to play… Read More SNES Review – Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
Contra as a series are games my brother and I have played since the beginning of our video game days. We never owned any of them, but would borrow them from friends or rent them from game stores. Contra 3 – the first iteration of the series on 16-bit consoles – is an awesome run and gun… Read More SNES Review – Contra 3: The Alien Wars
Tetris is a classic puzzle game – probably one of the best puzzle game ever made. Originally programmed in Russia, it eventually kickstarted the Game Boy, and has been released on just about every system ever since. I have played many versions, but the best version I ever played was on the Nintendo DS back… Read More DS Review – Tetris DS
The first time I played Kick Master was when I was about 7 or 8. My friend Amanda had a copy of it and I traded her one of my games with her for a week. I though the game was cool and had amazing cover art, but I couldn’t get past the second boss!… Read More NES Review – Kick Master
The Legend of Zelda – what an amazing series! The first one I ever played was the original on the NES, the reason why I bought the Super Nintendo was for A Link to the Past, but the Gamecube (and now Wii U version) Wind Waker captures a game in the series that stands out… Read More Gamecube / Wii U Review – Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
