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
I played this game when I was seven or eight years old. One of the older kids on the street had this game, and he lent it to us for a week or so. I was blown away by the openness of the game and cool it was to get out of the tank! As… Read More NES Review – Blaster Master
Ninjas were THE thing back in the 90’s – and Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master captures the essence of it beautifully! As a gamer who did not grow up with a Sega Genesis, this is one of those gems that I did not get an opportunity to play until I started collecting, but am happy… Read More Genesis Review – Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Among the Mario games, this game might have… Read More Gamecube Review – Super Mario Sunshine

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
Mega Man X is back! In grade 8 or 9, my brother and I sold our Nintendo 64 and switched it up for a Playstation. One of the first games that we rented after this change was Mega Man X4 – so I figured it would be a fun game to review as my first Playstation… Read More PSX Review – Mega Man X4
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
Kid Chameleon is one of those games that I didn’t even know existed growing up. When my bro was living in USA, he stumbled upon a retro game store that had it for sale for 10 bucks. I asked him to grab it for me. Deep down I was hoping this was one of those… Read More Genesis Review – Kid Chameleon
