I first played Sonic at my babysitters house when I was 6 or 7. My parents were gone for a weekend with friends, so they sent us to stay with one of their friends’ kids – his name was David – and he was an awesome baby sitter. We played a bunch of different Sega games… Read More GENESIS Review – Sonic the Hedgehog
Kirby is just one of those iconic Nintendo characters that consistently gets put in awesome games (especially in the 90’s)! My first game was Kirby on Gameboy, then Kirby’s Adventure on Nintendo, and during the 16-bit era I got to enjoy him in this gem of a game…but I never owned it until recently and played through… Read More SNES Review – Kirby Super Star
Hockey – the great Canadian pastime…except I didn’t play it growing up and don’t really enjoy watching it all that much (the team that my family have been rooting for – Toronto Maple Leafs – have been pretty bad since before I was born). But that does not mean that I don’t appreciate a good hockey game… Read More SNES Review – NHL 94
This review has been a long time coming. I have wanted to play this game for years but it unfortunately was never released in the West. Its predecessor – Earthbound – was the first real JRPG I ever beat from start to finish. Ever since then, this game has been on my todo list. About a… Read More GBA Review – Mother 3
Adventure Island II – a classic platform game of the Nintendo. I actually played this game first with my twin brother at King Cone on an arcade machine back in the early 90s. I couldn’t get past the few major boss in the first world. Little did I know it also came out for Nintendo –… Read More NES Review – Adventure Island 2
Growing up, the Gameboy was my lifeline to video games during long summer excursions to Lake Kippewa, the location of the family house boat. We would be gone for 7-10 days at a time, and my Gameboy got me through it! Alleyway is a game I never owned until recently, but learned that it was one… Read More GAMEBOY Review – Alleyway
I am always down for a good beat’em up game, and up until a few weeks ago never knew this game even existed! I remember seeing this game growing up and figured it was a USA made RPG (something I was not a fan of back then) and questioned why the elf on the cover was not… Read More SNES Review – King of Dragons
I always loved the original Legend of Zelda growing up, but always wondered why there weren’t more games like it. When I got back into retro gaming in the Fall of 2015, I scurried the internet for “hidden gems” to fill my collection with, and quickly found this game among them. Just looking at the awesome… Read More NES Review – Crystalis
I really missed the boat when it came to Gameboy Advanced growing up. When it was released, Super Mario Advanced was a launch title, but it appeared to just be a re-release of Super Mario 2 from Super Mario All-Stars…snore!!! Glad I finally decided to give this game another go. This is a traditional – if… Read More GBA Review – Super Mario Advanced
I was never a huge fan of shooters when I was young because I could never really get that far in them – and in terms of skill nowadays – I am just as bad as I was back then. Nevertheless, I have started to give the genre another chance. The first one being Axelay!… Read More SNES Review – Axelay
