Today I give a deep analysis of Fist of the North Star for the NES.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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. Gyruss was made [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Is it as good as the first game?
