Although it was originally released in the arcades, Strider was one of the first games that I played on the Sega Genesis. I thought the game looked cool (you could be a ninja!), but I died repeatedly on the first level and didn’t have much fun. Years later, I had a change to play it… Read More Genesis Review – Strider
The first time I played Prince of Persia was on an old PC in the early 90’s. It was tough as nails and I don’t think I ever even beat the first level. Recently I picked up Prince of Persia for Super Nintendo, and heard that it was pretty good and a nice upgrade from… Read More SNES Review – Prince of Persia
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was my religion when I was growing up. I had all the toys, the video cassettes, and dressed up for them for halloween! I didn’t have any of the video games, but traded with my friends – which is how I first came across the Game Boy iteration of the turtles!… Read More Game Boy Review – TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan
I am going to be up-front with this. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favourite game ever made. I have been beating it annually for years and have gotten so good at it that I beat it in one sitting without dying in a couple of hours. It was the… Read More SNES Review – Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
This review has been a longtime coming over the past month. I tried to publish it multiple times but things in my life got busy and deadlines slipped numerous times.

Battle Toads & Double Dragon was a game that my bro and I played a ton when we were kids. We never owned the game, but borrowed it from friends. We also never beat the game – it was damn hard. But the game always had us coming back for more, and each time we… Read More SNES Review – Battle Toads & Double Dragon
My favourite fighting series of all time is Soulcalibur, with Soulcalibur II on Gamecube being the highlight as you can be Link! What I didn’t realize was that before Soulcalibur was actually a sequel to Soul Edge – an arcade and Playstation weapon-based fighting game. I recently sat down for an afternoon with the game… Read More PSX Review – Soul Blade
I know the Wii U isn’t exactly a “retro” console – but for all intent and purpose – its time has passed! I loved the Wii U – it was unique and had a bunch of exclusive games that really made it worth having. Many didn’t believe that thought and it never became a hit.… Read More Wii U Review – New Super Mario Bros U
I never owned a Sega Genesis growing up, but I remember TV commercials about Vector Man – and it made me want to get a Genesis just for the game! The graphics were amazing, the soundtrack was thumping, and the gameplay looked fun! I was lucky enough to play the game while my family was… Read More Genesis Review – Vector Man
One of the joys of revisiting the NES library in the 21st century is that it has actually grown quite a bite over the past 30 years!

Enter Zelda:… Read More NES Review – Zelda: Legend of Link
