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
The introduction of 3D to gaming brought with it some cool twists on classic 2D games. Enter Tetrisphere – the evolution of Tetris into the 3rd dimension! It was thus named because instead of the gameplay taking place on a 2D field (a la classic Tetris), the game revolved around a sphere – leading to… Read More N64 Review – Tetrisphere
When I originally had a PSX back in the early 2000’s, I basically stuck to RPGs which kept me naive to much of the awesome games under different genres. So when I saw this game in my local hock shop, I picked it up to try something new! Turns it out was an awesome idea –… Read More PSX Review – Ray Crisis
One of my favourite games from the SNES was Secret of Mana. I loved the graphics, story, and fantastic multiplayer! When the next game in the series – Legend of Mana – released back in 1999, it was a day one purchase for me! 17 years later, I recently picked up a copy and thought it… Read More PSX Review – Legend of Mana
Six months into my collecting hobby, I was travelling around in London, Ontario for interviews for where I would be working in the following year and ended up stumbling upon upon a retro game store. I was expecting to find little – but their inventory was awesome! They had Princesses Tomato and the Salad Kingdom… Read More NES Review – Metal Storm
I remember riding on my bike to Microplay the weekend this game came out. I took an hour to get there – and to my disappointment, someone had already rented it out! The 2D gameplay with 3D graphics brought two things I loved together in one awesome game! The next weekend, I road my bike… Read More N64 Review – Mischief Makers
For my 31st birthday, I splurged and picked up this gem of a game. I first played Mega Man 7 when I was in grade 6 – my brother and I rented the game for a weekend and ended up beating it. At the time I was already a huge fan of the new Mega… Read More SNES Review – Mega Man 7
Gargoyle’s Quest is one of those games I had no idea existed until I got back into retro gamin over the past year. Turns out this is the first in a trilogy of games that ended with Demon’s Crest for SNES! It stars the evil monster Firebrand (from the Ghouls and Ghosts game series) who turns out… Read More Game Boy Review – Gargoyle’s Quest
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! Well, as soon as I started… Read More Genesis Review – Rocket Knight Adventures
Vice Project Doom is a game that I discovered over the past six months. It is a game that I had no idea existed, but am happy to have found it. It’s basically a PG 1980’s action movie platform game in 2D pixelated glory! The story is interesting but a bit hard to follow! You play as detective… Read More NES Review – Vice Project Doom
