Sword of Hope review
To me, it seems like Kemco focused too much of its attention on Sword of Hope's presentation and not enough in categories that actually matter. The end result is an RPG that serves as a mere skeleton for a great game.

Clash At Demonhead review
Even though it stumbles now and then, I think Clash at Demonhead is a game that people should seek out. It stands as a true example of forward thinking that was hampered by the technical limitations of the 8-bit era.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES has a lot going for it, in spite of its famous flaws.

StarTropics review
StarTropics provides a fun and fascinating combination of various elements, but one miscalculation results in the title being tragically overlooked or even completely forgotten by many of today’s players, even those who might frequently…

Willow review
When you get to a town, count on walking through about 20 screens to find the five or so homes that you can actually enter to find information, items or a place to rest. Midway through the game, when you have to scale a pair of towers…

Someone needs to get on that Chack'n Pop/Chakan: The Forever Man slash fic.

Dr. Chaos review
This could have been one of those forgotten 8-bit classics, but the poor controls, repetitive item farming, and awful music keep this decidedly in the B-tier of NES games.

Super Black Bass 3D review
Too clusmy to be a sim. Too slow to be arcade. Too ugly to get a second look.

Ice Climber review
Very nearly lands on the platform of greatness, but accidentally slips through the edge instead.

Hudson’s Adventure Island is Super Mario Bros. on steroids.

Gitaroo-Man review
Gitaroo Man is a dream for genre purists, and is destined to live on as a fondly remembered cult classic.

Excitebike review
Though it's solidly made, and features some slightly catchy tunes to go along with its somewhat-iconic NES visuals, Excitebike doesn't really offer players a lot of depth.

Golf review
Golf for the NES is one of those games that delivers exactly what it promises in the title.

Pitfalls aside, Shin Megami Tensei devotees should find plenty to love about Soul Hackers.

A brutal patchwork of exaggerations, underachieving and wasted potential.

Part brawler. Part run 'n gun. All lackluster.

G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor review
Typically, video game sequels are able to build upon the experiences that their predecessors offered. I tend to enjoy any follow-ups far more than I do the initial installments for that reason, but it was clear to me as I played through…

Cheat to win! Or, at least, to shamelessly rehash for fame and profit.

Snow Bros. review
Snowmen are criminally underrepresented as video game protagonists.
