Hagane: The Final Conflict is one of the rarest games that I own. It’s rare because it never had a commercial release and was primarily a Blockbuster Rental Exclusive. While I never rented it, I did play it years ago on an emulator. But it wasn’t until the end of my medical school training that… Read More SNES Review – Hagane
Back in the early late 80’s and early 90’s I was obsessed with ninjas. While the top ninjas in my book were the Ninja Turtles – anything ninja caught my attention. I don’t remember when, but I certainly played Ninja Gaiden as a kid and remember being blown away by the graphics, the cut scenes,… Read More NES Review – Ninja Gaiden
I just finished watching season 2 of the Netflix Castlevania series, which got me interested in playing more of the games in the series! Similar to other games in the series, Castlevania III takes a Belmont through Dracula’s castle, but adds a ton more to the series – making it the best iteration on the NES!… Read More NES Review – Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse
Jackie Chang’s Action Kung Fu was a game my brother and I rented when we were kids. When we rented it, we actually beat it over the weekend. As a seven-year old kid, there was a real sense of pride that we managed to beat it! I decided that I wasn’t playing enough NES games… Read More NES Review – Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu
Super Metroid was a game I played little of upon its release but rediscovered it during high school when I discovered the world of ROMs. I didn’t know what I was missing and quickly burned through the game, and it quickly became one of my favourite platform and action/adventure game. I play this game every… Read More SNES Review – Super Metroid
The Castlevania series is one that I have been following since the NES days. I played most of them as I grew up, but one that I missed was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – arguably one of if not THE best in the series. When I started collecting PSX games, this was one of… Read More PSX Review – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
I first played Resident Evil at a friends birthday party back in the late 90’s. We stayed up all night playing the game and finally beating it. It was HARD and SCARY! I loved every minute of it. These days, the original PSX game looks a bit aged, but lucky a few years after its… Read More Gamecube Review – Resident Evil
Alisia Dragoon is one of those game I have been trying to find for months as it’s a hidden gem I never had the chance to play as a kid. I recently found it in by one of my local video game stores for a decent price, so I picked it up and haven’t been… Read More Genesis Review – Alisia Dragoon
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
