The Golden Axe series was synonymous with the Sega Genesis back in the 90’s. It was one of the blockbuster beatem’up series that brought the arcade experience into the home. While I liked the first one, I find that the second one really refined it on so many levels, improved the graphics, and has slight tweaks that just… Read More Genesis Review – Golden Axe 2
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.

Mega Man X – one of the great gifts of the 16-bit era. I remember my mom bringing this game home for my brother and I – we just tore through the box and played it for weeks!

My first Dreamcast review! Do I ever love this system! So many great hidden gems! I got my first dreamcast while in high school.

Growing up, the only racing games I was ever really interested in was Mario Kart 64 – but when Diddy Kong Racing was announced, it caught my attention. It combined the fun cartoony graphics and multiplayer mayhem of Mario Kart 64 with some new racing mechanics like multiple vehicles…and let me play as Banjo and Conker before… Read More N64 Review – Diddy Kong Racing
Street Fighter – what an amazing series! It really kicked off the competitive fighting game craze in the 90’s – but what is Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight? It’s a sequel of sorts to the original game that stars Ken and it takes place in the future when he is a cyborg. It’s actually an action… Read More NES Review – Street Fighter 2010

My only exposure to Rocket Knight Adventures growing up was through some video game magazines like Game Pro. I thought the main character Sparkster looked really cool with his giant sword and rocket backpack. Alas, I never got to play the game as I did not have a Genesis growing up!
