Growing up, my favourite beat’em up series was Golden Axe on the genesis – it was fantasy brutality destruction with a friend! As I was so satisfied with the series, I never ventured outside of it. This review reconfirms one of my original reasons for starting this website – to find and play awesome games that… Read More GENESIS Review – Streets of Rage 2
He’s on fire! Playing this game recently with my buddy really brought back memories of my childhood! I was never much of a sports video game fan (can don’t care about sports in general bedsides olympics – go CANADA!) but every once in a while something came along (like NHL 94) that managed to keep… Read More SNES Review – NBA Jam
Kirby is just one of those iconic Nintendo characters that consistently gets put in awesome games (especially in the 90’s)! My first game was Kirby on Gameboy, then Kirby’s Adventure on Nintendo, and during the 16-bit era I got to enjoy him in this gem of a game…but I never owned it until recently and played through… Read More SNES Review – Kirby Super Star

The cartridge looked like it had gone through a “legendary” journey of its own just to make it… Read More SNES Review – Legend
This game brings back some memories. It was the first game that I ever beat with my twin brother – ever! This is a top-down cooperative shootem’up game that takes place on an island (ahem…Cuba…ahem). Originally an arcade game, it was ported to the Nintendo 1989. I never played the original arcade game, but this game… Read More NES Review – Guerilla War
Golden Axe was the first beat’em up game that I ever remember playing. I was six or seven at my babysitters house for the weekend. My brother and I played this game with our sitter and made it to the last level but ended up getting slain by Death Adder (side note – Death Adders are… Read More GENESIS Review – Golden Axe
Growing up, I never played Street Fighter Alpha 2 – I didn’t even know it existed! While I loved the plethora of original Street Fighter 2 games, I feel like by todays standards they are a bit dated – somewhat clunky and simple. Street Fighter Alpha 2 – which was released at the end of the SNES lifecycle in… Read More SNES Review – Street Fighter Alpha 2
