Abadox review (NES)Reviewed on April 09, 2013When you resume play, you'll find yourself again controlling that same slow-moving, impotent piece of junk with which you started. The big difference is that now you'll possibly be starting from a mid-level checkpoint or even a more difficult late-game area. Odds are that you'll quickly lose the rest of your lives and realize that you're playing one of those shooters where, if you can't complete it on one life, you might as well reset and start again from scratch. |

Bubble Bobble Part 2 review (NES)Reviewed on March 26, 20132 is the loneliest number. |

Bloody Warriors: Shango no Gyakushuu review (NES)Reviewed on March 16, 2013Bloody Warriors is best described as an RPG for RPG junkies. It's not good enough to inspire players to delve into the genre, but diehard fans like me are able to gain some enjoyment from taking another trip down a well-worn path. |

Battletoads review (NES)Reviewed on March 09, 2013Most people have trouble enjoying this game nowadays. In related news, most people have trouble getting past the third level... |

Popeye review (NES)Reviewed on March 08, 2013"I yam what I yam and what I yam is a mediocre Donkey Kong clone." |
||
A Boy and His Blob review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2013Half adventure game, half falling-to-your-death simulator. |
||
Urban Champion review (NES)Reviewed on March 03, 2013Basically the opposite of BlazBlue. |
||
Mr. Gimmick review (NES)Reviewed on March 02, 2013Mr. Gimmick (also known as Gimmick! in the original Japanese version) is a creative NES platformer that few people have ever heard of. Strangely enough, the only place outside of Japan where the game saw release was Scandinavia. |

Mega Man 2 review (NES)Reviewed on February 22, 2013Yes, I've managed to write a Mega Man review without using "blue bomber" in the main body. You're welcome. |

Little Nemo: The Dream Master review (NES)Reviewed on February 18, 2013Presumably you’re not reading this review because you’re getting ready to open a new copy of Little Nemo to play on your brand new NES. I have to figure instead that you have an emulator and may have been wondering whether there’s anything good about a game featuring a little boy in his pajamas. The answer is a definite “yes.” |
||
Double Dragon review (NES)Reviewed on January 20, 2013For a game I haven't played that much during childhood, Double Dragon for the NES is a title whose details I can still remember vividly to this day without a problem. |
||
Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou review (NES)Reviewed on January 12, 2013In Gradius II, you are immediately greeted by the choice between four different weapon sets (as opposed to only one in the original) and then you advance to a very attractive opening stage loaded with fiery asteroids. Making this level particularly neat is the way you can scroll up and down while moving to the right. If the particular path you're charting through the asteroids seems too fraught with danger, it's simplicity itself to go over one instead of under it in order to fight a different arrangement of foes. |
||
Faria review (NES)Reviewed on January 09, 2013RPGs are balancing acts, and this game is clumsy... |
||
Rainbow Islands review (NES)Reviewed on January 08, 2013This is the game where the Bubble Bobble timeline splits into two, like Zelda. |
||
Heavy Shreddin' review (NES)Reviewed on January 02, 2013A snowboarding game on the NES, you think it wouldn't be complicated, what with the goal involving going down hills. |
||
Wario's Woods review (NES)Reviewed on December 15, 2012Back before he became a game developer, Wario liked to harass small woodland creatures. |
||
Batman Returns review (NES)Reviewed on December 14, 2012When I think of effective beat 'em ups, adjectives like "awesome" and "badass" come to mind, and those are the last words I'd use to describe a gang of combat-trained circus performers. Sorry, but I'll take broken bottles and seedy night clubs over frills, grease paint, and leotards any day. |
