Although it was originally released in the arcades, Strider was one of the first games that I played on the Sega Genesis. I thought the game looked cool (you could be a ninja!), but I died repeatedly on the first level and didn’t have much fun. Years later, I had a change to play it… Read More Genesis Review – Strider
The first time I played Prince of Persia was on an old PC in the early 90’s. It was tough as nails and I don’t think I ever even beat the first level. Recently I picked up Prince of Persia for Super Nintendo, and heard that it was pretty good and a nice upgrade from… Read More SNES Review – Prince of Persia
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 know the Wii U isn’t exactly a “retro” console – but for all intent and purpose – its time has passed! I loved the Wii U – it was unique and had a bunch of exclusive games that really made it worth having. Many didn’t believe that thought and it never became a hit.… Read More Wii U Review – New Super Mario Bros U
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
The Console Wars in the late 90’s were fun times! There were a ton of funny commercials with all the mascots fighting it out – Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic, and Sony had Crash Bandicoot! With all this excitement about the re-release of the Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy being released, I thought it… Read More PSX Review – Crash Bandicoot
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
Back in the 90’s, I remember seeing a commercial on TV for Kirby’s Dream Land – it immediately made me want to get a Gameboy. Little did I know at the time, but Kirby would go on to become one of Nintendo’s big franchises! The story is a simple one but sets up the series… Read More Game Boy Review – Kirby’s Dream Land
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
