2017-07-21T15:45:00.001-04:00

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara are two of the BEST beat'em ups EVER made. Developed by Capcom, these games have yet to be surpassed 20 years later. Today, I take a look at the Western and Japanese PS3 releases of this game and compare both!

2017-07-13T16:44:00.000-04:00

Today I took a look at the BEST Golden Axe game ever made, Golden Axe for Ms-Dos computers. Yes, this version is even better than the Arcade games because it lets you do anything you want. You can play as anything you want, including the final boss, generic enemies or even a dragon riding a dragon that shoots dragons.

2017-06-08T16:48:00.002-04:00

Captain America and the Avengers is a Data East beat'em up released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. The game has something of a cult following, but never really achieved the heights of its contemporaries like Streets of Rage 2 or Final Fight. You can check out my review here:

Colony Wars: Red Sun Review

2017-05-18T16:14:00.003-04:00

Colony Wars: Red Sun is a space simulator for the PS1 developed by Psygnosis Leeds. Although the game boasts some really impressive graphics for Sony's 32-bit console, I view it as a disappointment when compared to Colony Wars Vengeance.

Check out my review here:

2017-05-10T16:02:00.004-04:00

Psychic World is an awesome little hidden gem for Sega's 8-bit console. Although the game was developed by Sims, a Japanese studio, the Master System version was only launched in Europe. You can check out my review here:

2017-04-27T15:49:00.002-04:00

Can anyone honestly say they wouldn't love to own a giant mech? Who wouldn't want to get into a giant robot rain destruction everywhere. Sadly, it'll probably be a while until giant mechs are available for commercial use, though at least we'll always have videogames. So this week, we'll be taking a look at 5 Good Giant Mech Games for Retro systems.

Magic Knight Rayearth (Sega Saturn) Review

2017-04-20T16:41:00.002-04:00

Magic Knight Rayearth was the last Sega Saturn game to have been launched in the US despite being an early Saturn title in Japan. Localized by Working Designs, this action RPG commands high prices on ebay, being considered a collector's item. In this review, I take a look at the game and see if it's still worth a playthrough.

Generals of the Yang Family

2017-04-13T15:30:00.002-04:00

Generals of the Yang Family is a Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive game received a physical release in 2017. The game originally began as a Taiwan bootleg, but Piko Interactive bought the rights, translated it to English and gave the game its first legal and official release a few months ago. Check out my review here:

Tongue of the Fatman review... God help me.

2017-04-06T17:07:00.000-04:00

This week I reviewed one of the worst games I've ever played. Tongue of the Fatman deserves every bit of infamy it receives.

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (PS2) Review

2017-03-30T16:37:00.000-04:00

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a late PS2 game based on the anime series of the same name. Here, you play as major Motoko and Batou through a short 12-stage campaign.

Over the years I've noticed this game gathered something of a fanbase, but how well does it stand the test of time?

Megaman Legends Review

2017-03-09T16:28:00.002-05:00

This week I reviewed Megaman Legend for the PS1, often considered a hidden gem for Sony's 32-bit console.

Flight of the Amazon Queen Retro Review (Ms-Dos)

2017-02-09T16:43:00.001-05:00

Flight of the Amazon Queen is a 1995 point and click adventure game with a style very similar to The Secret of Monkey Island. If you're familiar with LucasArts adventure games, this will feel very familiar to you right down to the controls, art style and gameplay.

Soul of the Samurai / Ronin Blade (Ps1) Review

2017-02-02T14:16:00.001-05:00

Soul of the Samurai or Ronin Blade as it's known in Europe is a hack n' slash / Survival horror game inspired by the Resident Evil series. Sadly, even though this was developed by Konami, it's nowhere near the quality of the Onimusha series.

At least it makes for a cheap ebay purchase, but it's still hard to recommend this original Playstation game.

Ninja Gaiden (Master System) Review

2017-01-26T14:22:00.003-05:00

In today's video, I reviewed Ninja Gaiden for the Sega Master System and compare it to its NES counterpart. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Tongue of the Fatman / Slaughter Sport Review (Sega Genesis / Mega Drive)

2017-01-20T09:32:00.003-05:00

Slaughter Sport is the infamous Sega Genesis port of Tongue of the Fatman, often considered as one of the worst videogames ever made. This is a fighting game with terrible mechanics, no character balance, appalling hit detection and jerky controls.
