I remember in the early 90s, I picked up a video game magazine, and on the front of it was an advertisement for Super Castlevania IV! The article was so hyped for the game, calling the graphics “hyper-realistic” and that you would “sometimes just want to pause to look at the scenery.” While the game… Read More SNES Review – Super Castlevania IV
Lagoon was a game that I never owned growing up – but a friend of mine did, so I traded games! I remember my friend’s older brother tells me that Lagoon was awesome compared to The Legend of Zelda. At that time I was quite impressed with the statement, but soon learned that Lagoon cannot… Read More SNES Review – Lagoon
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
Hagane: The Final Conflict is one of the rarest games that I own. It’s rare because it never had a commercial release and was primarily a Blockbuster Rental Exclusive. While I never rented it, I did play it years ago on an emulator. But it wasn’t until the end of my medical school training that… Read More SNES Review – Hagane
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. One grade 6 kid had brought in his Super Nintendo and was charging a dollar for 5 minutes of play. I forked over the money… Read More SNES Review – Super Mario World
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
I generally avoided a lot of racing games on the SNES. They seemed to serious for me when I was young gamer (apart from Mario Kart). When I was in high school, I rediscovered SNES games through emulation, and quickly became enthralled with F-Zero! I would play the game over and over on harder difficulties… Read More SNES Review – F-Zero
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
I am going to be up-front with this. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favourite game ever made. I have been beating it annually for years and have gotten so good at it that I beat it in one sitting without dying in a couple of hours. It was the… Read More SNES Review – Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Battle Toads & Double Dragon was a game that my bro and I played a ton when we were kids. We never owned the game, but borrowed it from friends. We also never beat the game – it was damn hard. But the game always had us coming back for more, and each time we… Read More SNES Review – Battle Toads & Double Dragon
