SNES Review – Super Castlevania IV
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
SNES Review – Lagoon
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 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
SNES Review – F-Zero
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
