I played this game when I was seven or eight years old. One of the older kids on the street had this game, and he lent it to us for a week or so. I was blown away by the openness of the game and cool it was to get out of the tank! As… Read More NES Review – Blaster Master
Konami was in its heyday during the days of the NES. Apart from Contra, the company started their fan-favorite franchise of Castlevania! It’s a game that takes the player directly into Dracula’s castle where they must journey through a number of levels, battling evil monsters, and eventually ending Draculas rein of terror for good! In… Read More NES Review – Castlevania
There is something incredibly badass about a giant flaming space snake glaring at you into the depths of your soul. I knew before even putting this game in that it was going to fun!

Blades of Steel! I got this game for Christmas when I got my original Nintendo when I was six years old! My twin bro and I played the heck out of it. While I never really followed hockey that closely (and still don’t to this day), since Blades of Steel, I have enjoyed the odd video… Read More NES Review – Blades of Steel
Bubble Bobble is one of the games that I grew up with playing with my bro. As a twin, it was always awesome when a game was two player cooperative so we could both play at the same time.
