Darkwing Duck Review
5 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on March 28, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
My first official video review after coming back from a very long hiatus. I hope I'm not too rusty. Today I take a look at Darkwing Duck which was a game made by Capcom for the NES under the Disney License. It's an all around great platformer like you'd expect out of Capcom, however, as great as it is, it does have it's flaws. ... more. -
Prehistoric Isle in 1930 – Arcade Review
4 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on March 12, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
I’ve played a lot of games in my time. A lot of these games have had crazy plots and just sheer lunacy, but yet no game has been so psychotic and yet mind numbingly awesome such as Prehistoric Isle in 1930. The game hit the arcades in 1989 and was produced by SNK. While normally this would have been a Neo Geo game, it was produced before the Neo Geo MVS hit arcades, so this game was it’s own a... more. -
Mario Bros. – NES Review
1 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on March 10, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
I know what you're thinking and no, this isn't Super Mario Bros. the NES classic. This is simply Mario Bros. which hit the arcades in 1983. The game was also ported to the NES, which is what we'll be looking at today. Mario Bros. is a simple arcade style game in which you play as Mario, a plumber, who has to deal with a pest problem within the sewers below New York. Mario is joined by his newly... more. -
E.V.O.: Search for Eden – SNES Review
5 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on March 3, 2010 under Retro Reviews
E.V.O - Search for Eden is a game created by Enix for the SNES which hit the scene back in 1993. The game is rather unique as it takes elements from both platformers as well as RPGs. You not only have standard side scrolling action, but also the RPG element of leveling up and becoming stronger. What's cool about E.V.O is that not only do you have these RPG and platformer elements, but the whole id... more. -
Garou: Mark of the Wolves review [Neo Geo/Arcade]
1 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on February 24, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
Today I will be reviewing Garou: Mark of the Wolves (also known as Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves) for the Neo-Geo arcade system. Garou: Mark of the Wolves is a 2D fighting game that debuted in the arcades back in 1999. This game takes place 10 years after the events of Real Bout: Fatal Fury. Geese Howard is long since dead and Southtown is starting to forget his existence. Terry Bogard has t... more. -

Donkey Kong Review [Gameboy]
0 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on February 18, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
Anyone remember the arcade game Donkey Kong? Remember how cool it was back in the 80s to go in the arcade and play as that guy known as Jump Man? I wonder, what ever happened to that? Oh wait, I know! It became a smash hit and launched the careers of two of the most well known video game icons in the history of video games. One being a large ape named Donkey Kong and the other, formerly known as J... more. -

Gyruss Review [NES]
0 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on February 14, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
You know, it's rare to find a game where the port is just as good as the arcade version, and it's even more rare to find a game where the port is better than the arcade version. Today, I review a game that in my opinion is better than it's arcade counterpart.

The Simpsons Review [Arcade]
1 CommentsPosted by Dave Turcotte on under Feature, Retro Reviews
During the late 80s/early 90s, the Simpsons had become a TV classic. We've seen plenty of games back then and now, some of which are rather bad, but none of the Simpsons games stand out like the arcade game that was released in 1991. The game was also made by Konami, so you knew it had to be good. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="434" caption="The arcade cabinet for The Simpsons."][/capt... more. -

The next game I'm reviewing is for the Gameboy advanced and is based on the iconic anime/manga Dragonball.The game takes place from the beginning of the series, all the way up to the fight with Demon King Piccolo. There are 2 different gameplay styles as well as various mini-games. The main gameplay style is the sidescrolling platformer beat-em-up style. [caption id="attachment_3166" align="... more. -
Wave Race 64 Review
0 CommentsPosted by James Ireland on January 15, 2010 under Feature, Retro Reviews
I so wished you looked better, so I could play you again Thanks to the world of high definition TV’s even 64 bit games start to look like shit. I went back and tried to play the original Destruction Derby and the cars begin to look like Lego, boot up a dusty Golden Eye 64 cart and the landscape looks like a dog pissed on a canvas painting. Unfortunately for those that appreciate decent water... more. -
