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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
