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 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
When I got back into retro games a couple years ago, I was a big fan of Super Ghouls and Ghosts – it was an amazing puzzle platformer that looked fantastic on the SNES. What I didn’t realize is that the series comes from the arcades, and that there existed another 16-bit game on the… Read More Genesis Review – Ghouls and Ghosts
Mega Man 4 was the first Mega Man that my brother and I bought together. We played the game extensively and could beat the game easily. Years later, I still enjoy the game but was looking for something new too – enter Mega Man 4 Minus Inifity – possibly the most extensive NES rom hack… Read More NES Review – Mega Man 4 Minus Infinity
Castlevania has been an interesting series – and one that has stood the test of time in both the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. While Super Castlevania IV is probably the most popular Castlevania on SNES, I wanted to take a look at the one that is much less common (and one that I recently picked… Read More SNES Review – Castlevania: Dracula X
Back in the early 2000’s – and well before I started collecting games – my brother picked up a big box of NES games from a friend. There were well over 100 NES games. One of my favs from the group was a game called Shadow of the Ninja. This weeks’ review is about this… Read More NES Review – Shadow of the Ninja
Super Metroid was always one of my favourite games, but I couldn’t really see how they could possibly bring that amazing formula of action, adventure, and exploration into the 3D world without messing it up. The day finally came and I picked Metroid Prime up in high school as soon as it was released – and proceeded to power… Read More Gamecube / Wii Review – Metroid Prime
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
Ninjas were THE thing back in the 90’s – and Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master captures the essence of it beautifully! As a gamer who did not grow up with a Sega Genesis, this is one of those gems that I did not get an opportunity to play until I started collecting, but am happy… Read More Genesis Review – Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
It’s Morphin Time! The early 90’s had me dancing each morning as my brother and I would be dropped off at our babysitters’ house before we went to school. At 7:30AM we would watch an episode of Power Rangers to pump us up for the day. When the game came out, I was understandably excited, and promptly… Read More SNES Review – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
