	A Nightmare on Elm Street review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on November 01, 2003 - # Anyone who knows me knows I put two movie series above all others: Predator and Terminator. But everyone also knows that I love the Nightmare on Elm Street series, and still consider the original to be one of the finest movies ever made. It had everything needed to be an effective horror movie, along with the most effective villian and plot ever assembled for a video game. The idea of an evil child murderer getting revenge for the people that killed him by haunting their kids while they sleep is...
	Major League Baseball review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on November 01, 2003 - # Baseball games on the NES were a dime a dozen back in the day, but only one sported the official MLB license. Finally, there was a game out there that didn't make you play as the SNK Crushers or Team A. Now you can play as the San Diego Padres, or Atlanta Braves, or for the sadomasochists out there, the New York Yankees. This was really a high selling point of the game, and I'm sure it sold a ton of copies based on this valuable license alone.
	Baseball Simulator 1.000 review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on November 01, 2003 - # In my current quest to play and review every baseball game ever made on the NES, I stumbled upon a game called Baseball Simulator 1.000. Of course, I didn't think much of it at first. I just thought it would be another hapless attempt at making a baseball game. Most of the games I had played at the time were really not that good. Fortunately, Culture Brain actually managed to make a deep and satisfying gameplay experience that I rather enjoyed, as they actually went back to basics and made the g...
	10-Yard Fight review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on November 01, 2003 - # There are some games out there that just make me wonder what the hell the developer was smoking when they decided to make it. 10 Yard Fight, an early attempt at a football game, is a perfect example of this. If you can look past the lack of game modes, bad graphics, and fact that it's really hard to do anything positive in the game, you will still end up looking at the worst football game ever made. I'd like to apologize to NCAA Gamebreaker 2004 right now, because at least that was somewhat of a...
	Super Metroid review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Putting into words how great of a game Super Metroid is, is a difficult task. Back in the sometimes gloomy, sometimes upbeat days of 1994, it was rare to find a game that had both a breathtaking adventure full of thrilling gameplay that also featured an enchanting storyline (most other adventures used the worn out damsel in distress tag instead of something original).
	Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Back in the blazingly arid days of the summer of '96 when the glorious Super Nintendo was reaching its end and the Nintendo 64 was right around the corner, Super Mario RPG showed its role-playing face to the world.
	Super Mario All-Stars review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Fans of the Super Mario Bros. games for the NES rejoice! Super Mario All-Stars is one game that almost every Nintendo fan absolutely had to have when it first came out. I already had all three of the classic platformers for the NES, but I still wanted it just as bad as anyone. Why did everyone want this game so bad? Easy, because it has Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 all in one cartridge! It also has a game that most people (including myself) hadn't ever played c...
	Street Fighter II Turbo review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # StormyWeather980: Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite fighting game of all time.
	Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # There were a lot of great platformers for the Super Nintendo, and Mickey Mania is one of them. Mickey Mania is not only a great platformer, it has something a little extra for anybody who's a huge fan of the old Mickey Mouse cartoons.
	Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # The film industry has become notorious over the years for making movie sequels that hardly ever live up to the original. Predator was an instant action movie classic in the late 80's, and it deserved a superb sequel. What did it get? A boring, terrible piece of crap follow-up that doesn't even deserve the title, Predator 2. Other great movies, such as Batman, had an impressive sequel or two, but movie makers just wouldn't leave the series alone and let it remain in good standing. Instead, they d...
	Donkey Kong Country review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Isn't it amazing how a picture can take you back to the good old days when you didn't have a worry in the world, or drag you back to a depressing time that you wish you could forget? No matter what the current times or surroundings were, capturing them in a photograph can preserve the memories forever. When images of Donkey Kong Country come to mind, I see not only the first SNES game I ever owned, but also a revolutionary platformer that is impossible to forget.
	Disney's Aladdin review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # While a lot of Disney movies have had a plot that was pretty farfetched (i.e. The Jungle Book, Sword in the Stone, Dumbo), Aladdin's story was one that could actually happen in real life. Aladdin, a poor boy, is used to being a thief in order to get food and to live to see the next day. He meets and falls in love with Jasmine, who just happens to be a princess, and his world is completely changed. Aladdin for the Super Nintendo follows the same storyline as the movie, so yep, it's yet another on...
	Biker Mice From Mars review (SNES) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Don't you just love it when you accidentally discover something? It's a hot summer day and you're walking down the street or swimming to the bottom of the deep end of the pool as your ears clog up begging to be popped and you find a few dollar bills. It's only a few bucks, but you feel as hyped as a millionaire because you can now buy yourself an ice cream cone or maybe even a video game off of eBay.
	Activision Classic Games review (PSX) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # The first time I saw Activision Classics in stores, I thought I was dreaming, but I wasn't. Needless to say, I bought the game the second I saw it after seeing the lineup of Atari 2600 classics and Atari 2600 unknowns that it had to offer.
	Rodent's Revenge review (PC) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # The very first time cats and mice laid eyes on each other centuries ago, both animals knew that until the end of time they would be ruthless opposites that would never get along. Cats don't actually hate mice. They love them. Every time a cat even hears the sharp claws or teeth of a mouse, its stomach starts rumbling like a tremoring earthquake and its mouth fills up with enough saliva to drown Lake Michigan. When a feline actually sees one of those pesky rodents, it takes off just like a rocket...
	Rattler Race review (PC) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Note: Rattler Race is not a free game; it's Shareware.
	Namco Museum 64 review (N64) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Retro arcade gamers unite! I had been waiting for a game like Namco Museum 64 for a long time when I first saw it on the shelves. Namco Museum 64 is a collection of a few of the best known and most played arcade hits of the 80s. Included in the compilation is Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Pole Position, and Dig Dug. Anybody who ever went to an arcade in the 80s or early 90s is sure to recognize just about all six of these surefire classics right away.
	Monster Truck Madness 64 review (N64) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # Being a fan of watching monster trucks such as Big Foot, Snakebite, and others race and do carnage on TV since I was a kid, Monster Truck Madness 64 was at the top of my list of games to play when it was first released. Unfortunately, I was in store for a big surprise for the worst.
	Mario Golf review (N64) Reviewed by retro on November 01, 2003 - # What is it about Mario games? One could go on and on about how Super Mario Bros. pretty much saved the video game industry from becoming nothing more than a fading memory. What other mascot could possibly make a game in which a baby cries all the time and gets on your last nerve, fun? Mario's magical charm goes beyond the classic platformers that nearly all of us know by heart. Super Mario Kart invented a whole new genre (kart racing), and it's still my absolute favorite game that has Mario's na...
