Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Review


Posted on 05/11/2021 at 11:20 AM | Filed Under Review

Isn't Kid Dracula part of the Castlevania Collection on Steam? I need to look into that. I've been wanting to play KD for years now. I hear it's really good.

To the Earth Review

Agreed. Hogan's Alley is a much more manageable Zapper game than To the Earth.

Point Blank is definitely way more fun than this game. I have all 3 Point Black games on the PlayStation. Some of my favorite mini-games are in PB 3 where you have to shoot the train before it hits the screen or the one where you shoot down all the Galaxian bugs.

Sounds like a case of....the terrible 2s.  LOL. Naw, but I did genuinely enjoy Simon's Quest. You do have to be in the mood to play it though.

May is Replay Month!

Man, whatever happened to Viewtiful Joe? Like, how has he not even showed up in Smash Bros. by now?

Retro Review: Secret of Evermore


Posted on 05/06/2021 at 01:01 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I still have this game on my SNES, but I haven't played it much. I remember the opening scene that pans around the city, and I think I remember going through the time portal to the past or something. But is been like 15 years since I first played, so I don't really remember for sure.

It's one of those games that I keep telling myself to play, but I also keep seeing all these reviews that basically say it sucks and is terrible and not fun. My fear is that I've waited too late to play this and I just won't enjoy it. But I'll never know unless I try. Of course, I'll play Secret of Mana first.

Top Gear Review

True statement my friend. My brother and I were late to the 16-bit era. I got the Genesis and he purchased a Super NES within weeks of each other sometime in 1995 or '96. Super Mario Kart was the only racer I remember us having back then, but we played the heck out of it! It was a true masterpiece.

Top Gear Review

Initially, I had the same concern as you. I didn't like that I had to worry about the gas running out. But what turned things around for me was seeing that the rival CPU car is also bound by the rules of the game. Come to think of it, that's another reason why the split-screen works so well for this game because you can adjust your strategy based on the actions of the CPU car.

But yeah, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Top Gear, especially not having played it for the first time until the mid 2000s.

Retro Review: Zoop

"Zoop is nothing like Tetris, and once you start playing, it’s not hard to stop." This made me laugh... well-said man.

Intelligent Qube Review


Posted on 04/02/2021 at 08:01 PM | Filed Under Review

Yeah, I think Intelligent Qube kinda got buried under the heavier hitting games on the PlayStation back in the day. I had nearly all of the games you mentioned in your comment. I purchased the Tron Bonne game maybe 12 years ago, but I never opened it and eventually sold it off thinking I wouldn't miss it. I regret doing that.

I never had Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo until the remaster got released on the PS3.
