This Week's Gundams

I remember being pleasantly surprised by Quiz and Dragons, too.

God Hand was made by the same folks who made Okami, and that studio would eventually become Platinum.

The Year 2000: Memories and Wish Lists


Posted on 09/04/2023 at 07:24 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I reviewed Chrono Cross back when I was writing for the newspaper.  Even though it's billed as a sequel to Chrono Trigger, it's actually a spin off of Radical Dreamers.  Radical Dreamers was a text adventure that was only available on the Super Nintendo satellite service in Japan.  I've always wanted to play it.  You can on the remastered version, but I haven't gotten around to getting it yet.   But that's why Chrono Cross has so little to do with Chrono Trigger.  I kind of wish they would've made Chrono Cross its own thing, and not tied with any other game.  Because even though it's nowhere near as good as Chrono Trigger, it's still a decent game on its own.  Although the battle system is just a cleverly disguised card game.  It had great music and graphics, too.  There is an RPG that came out around the Switch's launch called I am Setsuna that really plays more like a Chrono Trigger sequel.  And with a few tweaks, it would've made a good side story or something.

Episode 265: I am Julian, Slayer of Malenia

Good video game villains make the best characters to love to hate.  So here's some of mine:

Kefka from Final Fantasy 6

GlaDOS from Portal

Dr. Wily from Mega Man

Bowser from the Mario games

Tron Bonne and the Servebots (and the rest of the Bonne family really) from Mega Man Legends

Well the forklift game isn't very fun.  But thanks for reading!

Have fun with Tears of the Kingdom!  It took me about 100 hours and three months to beat!

This Week's Pirates

Something about the animation on Pirates of Dark Water, or their weird eyes...kind of creeped me out.  Never got into that show.

No, like I said in the podcast, I'm part ghost monster.  So don't eat any power pellets around me, OK? :)

1996 in Gaming


Posted on 08/30/2023 at 07:56 AM | Filed Under Blogs

1996 is when I first started writing game reviews for The Dallas Morning News.

Super Mario RPG was a big deal back then.  Are you excited for the Switch remake.  I sure am!

Metal Slug looks and plays well even to this day!  I love it when you eat a lot of food healing items and get fat!

Even though DKC3 isn't as good as the first two, it's still a VERY good 2D platformer.  DKC3 is a very special game to me because it's one of the first games I reviewed at the newspaper.

Kirby's Super Star is still one of the best Kirby games.  I loved playing it with my brother Jeff when he was little.  On our first podcast, this was his number one favorite game of all time!

Yeah don't mess with my family.  We'll get you in the maze eventually! :)

If you want a really deep cut, in one of the episodes of the Pac-Man cartoon, Pac Van Winkle, in the future Pac-Land there is a ghost monster that one refers to as Myrtle.  Well my grandmother on my mom's side was named Myrtle (until she changed her name to Christine).

Retro Review: Lufia & the Fortress of Doom


Posted on 08/27/2023 at 03:42 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I rented the first Lufia game once.  It was very bland and made me want to go back and play Final Fantasy 2 (4) instead.

Lufia 2 is WAY better.  Battles are pretty standard but they way they dealt with random encounters in dungeons and using weapons to solve puzzles was very fun.  Quite a playable game.  And the music was great too.  Awesome boss theme!
