Similar to many other games that I have reviewed on this website, I never heard about this one until the last few years. I actually learned about it through a YouTube channel Classic Game Room. Apparently it was really awesome, so I have the game a try! I didn’t really pick up on much story,… Read More Genesis Review – Truxton
The Contra series is hard – REALLY hard! I’ve never beaten a Contra game in my life! When I got back into retro gaming, I came across a Contra game that I didn’t even know existed – it was Contra: Hard Corps and it was the first game in the series for a Sega system!… Read More GENESIS Review – Contra: Hard Corps
I love a good arcade racer! Back when I first got my Dreamcast, I played a lot of Crazy Taxi! It’s fast and fun, and is simple enough to pick up and play a game in under 5 minutes! More recently I popped the game into my Gamecube, and it was just as fun (and… Read More Dreamcast / Gamecube Review – Crazy Taxi
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
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
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
The jump to 3D was challenging for many franchises – but when I finally got my Dreamcast in high school, I loved how fast and awesome Sonic felt in Sonic Adventure! With Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania approaching for Switch (and other consoles) I thought it would be fun to revisit this old favourite. Boy… Read More Dreamcast/Gamecube Review – Sonic Adventure
The first time I played a game in the Space Harrier series was when I played the original arcade game on Shenmue for Dreamcast. It was a fun time with awesome music! A couple years later, I picked up the sequel on the Wii virtual console. Having not played the game for close to a decade, I… Read More Genesis Review – Space Harrier 2
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
I remember reading one of those popular game magazines from back in the 90s, there was an add that spanned numerous pages. It was of a finger pulling on a piece of snot from a disgusting nose. The tag line at the end of the four page spread was – “A Pick and Flick Adventure.”… Read More Genesis Review – Booger Man: A Pick and Flick Adventure
