Star Wars – one of my favourite nerdy obsessions! In preparation for the new movie Rogue One, I decided to the play the new VR Star Wars experience on PS4. It was so amazing -I got to fly an X-Wing, be overtaken by a Star Destroyer, and fly through astroids! I was so hyped after this… Read More SNES Review – Super Star Wars
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
Today I turn 31 years old. It reminds me of one of my best birthdays ever…involving Super Mario 64! I remember walking into our local Microplay during the summer of 1996 and seeing one of the N64 test units running Mario 64. I knew right then and there that I HAD TO HAVE IT, and so my brother… Read More N64 Review – Super Mario 64
Contra as a series are games my brother and I have played since the beginning of our video game days. We never owned any of them, but would borrow them from friends or rent them from game stores. Contra 3 – the first iteration of the series on 16-bit consoles – is an awesome run and gun… Read More SNES Review – Contra 3: The Alien Wars
The first time I played Kick Master was when I was about 7 or 8. My friend Amanda had a copy of it and I traded her one of my games with her for a week. I though the game was cool and had amazing cover art, but I couldn’t get past the second boss!… Read More NES Review – Kick Master

We got so good at it that we regularly unlocked the secret Hadouchen fireball and even defeated Sigma a… Read More SNES Review – Mega Man X
Bubble Bobble is one of the games that I grew up with playing with my bro. As a twin, it was always awesome when a game was two player cooperative so we could both play at the same time. This game filled that gap and we played it for hours! At its core, Bubble Bobble is… Read More NES Review – Bubble Bobble
Street Fighter – what an amazing series! It really kicked off the competitive fighting game craze in the 90’s – but what is Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight? It’s a sequel of sorts to the original game that stars Ken and it takes place in the future when he is a cyborg. It’s actually an action… Read More NES Review – Street Fighter 2010
Earthworm Jim – he’s such a groovy guy! Earthworm Jim – he rockets thought the sky! If this game isn’t 90’s I don’t know what is! I remember trading one of my friends for this game for a week and my bro and I tried to get through it. We loved the graphics, style, and… Read More SNES Review – Earthworm Jim
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
