Ninja Turtles was a staple of my childhood. My brother and I would do flips over the couch in order to prep for an episode of the TV show. When the games for NES game out, I was ecstatic. I first played the original – which was fine enough but it didn’t capture the intensity… Read More NES Review – TMNT: The Arcade Game
The Contra series is hard – REALLY hard! I’ve never beaten a Contra game in my life! When I got back into retro gaming, I came across a Contra game that I didn’t even know existed – it was Contra: Hard Corps and it was the first game in the series for a Sega system!… Read More GENESIS Review – Contra: Hard Corps
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
Few games from the arcade era of the early 80’s made the leap into 3D. Robotron 2084 is one of the few that made the jump! Today I’m going to revisit the 3D remake for the Nintendo 64. Robotron 64 is a simple game that captures the essence of the original (maybe to a fault)… Read More N64 Review – Robotron 64
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

It has been harder and harder to find, but I am glad I finally got to play it this Capcom developed… Read More Dreamcast Review – Cannon Spike
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! Again, this is a game I never knew existed until I got back into retro gaming and am happy that I… Read More NES Review – Life Force
Contra as a series are games my brother and I have played since the beginning of our video game days. We never owned any of them, but would borrow them from friends or rent them from game stores. Contra 3 – the first iteration of the series on 16-bit consoles – is an awesome run and gun… Read More SNES Review – Contra 3: The Alien Wars
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. This game filled that gap and we played it for hours! At its core, Bubble Bobble is… Read More NES Review – Bubble Bobble
