The adventure islands games from the NES were some of my favourite games on the NES. My brother and I would get up early in the morning and try and beat it on the weekends regularly. When I heard about Super Adventure island as a kid, I got really excited and remember renting it –… Read More SNES Review – Super Adventure Island
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
My brother and I would survive our houseboat adventures during our summers by playing our Game Boy. While we really enjoyed the Donkey Kong game for Game Boy, it wasn’t a traditional platforming game. We soon discovered this gem, and I have been playing it ever since! In terms of story, the game follows Mario… Read More Game Boy Review – Super Mario Land
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
I remember the first time I saw Super Mario World – I was at school and the students were putting on a sale to raise money for some school initiative.

Once again, I am writing about a game that I had no idea existed when I was growing up but discovered by accident during my rediscovery of retro video games. This one has a bit of history as apparently it was going to be the mascot to take over for Sonic the Hedgehog, but it… Read More Genesis Review – Ristar
The 90’s was a great time for Disney animation – and by extension – Disney games. We have some great ones like the Little Mermaid for NES, Aladdin for both SNES and Genesis, and then we got the Lion King, which looked fantastic, but ends up being one of the most frustrating experiences found on… Read More SNES Review – The Lion King
Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout was a game I first played at my friend Blair’s house when I was six or seven.We traded games for a while and my bro and I had an opportunity to really give it a play. We never beat it, but got fairly far. I remember having a good time with… Read More NES Review – Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
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
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
