	Mega Man 2 review (NES) Reviewed on February 22, 2013 Yes, 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, 2013 Presumably 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, 2013 For 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, 2013 In 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, 2013 RPGs are balancing acts, and this game is clumsy...
	Rainbow Islands review (NES) Reviewed on January 08, 2013 This is the game where the Bubble Bobble timeline splits into two, like Zelda.
	Heavy Shreddin' review (NES) Reviewed on January 02, 2013 A 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, 2012 Back before he became a game developer, Wario liked to harass small woodland creatures.
	Batman Returns review (NES) Reviewed on December 14, 2012 When 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.
	The Battle of Olympus review (NES) Reviewed on November 22, 2012 Pay a visit to the island maze-fortress of Crete and the minute you step in the door, you'll be cut to shreds by various Amazon warriors who are both durable and capable of moving their shields around to block attacks much like The Adventures of Link's Ironknuckles. And I haven't even mentioned Phrygia's MANY snake-dragons that take more damage than most bosses while blasting the crap out of you with fire. Brutal…
	Kid Klown in Night Mayor World review (NES) Reviewed on November 16, 2012 Kid Klown in Night Mayor World is a cute, forgettable, rudimentary platformer on NES. It’s one of a legion of mediocre sidescrollers that were released throughout the '80s and '90s that will likely be lost in the annals of gaming history, where they will be overshadowed by a handful of spectacular members from their genre. In other words, play those other titles instead.
	Sweet Home review (NES) Reviewed on October 31, 2012 Regardless of Sweet Home's lacking challenge factor, the game still won my heart. As a lover of all things horror, from films to literature, playing an NES game that was as brutal as some of my favorite '80s fright flicks was a treat.
	Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics 2 review (NES) Reviewed on October 29, 2012 The original StarTropics was mostly confined to a random series of tropical islands, and everything blended together after a while. In Zoda's Revenge, you control Mike Jones as he travels from a prehistoric land, to ancient Egypt, to other areas such as a Transylvanian castle and King Arthur's Britain. Each chapter contains a minimum of one dungeon to explore as you search for a collection of Tetris -style blocks known as Tetrads. You need to reach them before various incarnations of Zoda (the villain from the first StarTropics game) can harness their power for evil.
	Zombie Nation review (NES) Reviewed on October 28, 2012 In a shooter, extremely loose controls serve only to infuriate gamers by adding an element of cheapness to the difficulty. This is precisely what the game does, and it pays for it in the end. Instead of an action-packed mixture of beauty and quirk, Zombie Nation is an unstable and tedious shooter.
	Frankenstein: The Monster Returns review (NES) Reviewed on October 24, 2012 ...[Frankenstein: The Monster Returns] is a ho-hum action title unworthy of your valuable time and brain cells. Skip it and read the original novel instead.
	Dr. Chaos review (NES) Reviewed on October 15, 2012 At no point was I required to execute tough leaps or weave through a complex arrangement of platforms while worrying about a nearby winged skeleton. Everything was straightforward and obvious, and actually quite dull. Such vapidity brought down the experience as a whole and left me with a new unfortunate outlook on the game.
	Monster in My Pocket review (NES) Reviewed on October 05, 2012 Castlevania-lite.
	Wrecking Crew review (NES) Reviewed on September 22, 2012 Did you know those bouncing enemies are wrenches and not snakes? I didn't.
	River City Ransom review (NES) Reviewed on September 21, 2012 The main challenge for me when playing River City Ransom was simply surviving the trek between the second and third malls, as you have to travel through many screens and the easier gangs are weeded out in favor of ones that cause a lot more damage when their attacks connect. Lose your rhythm against The Generic Dudes and your life meter will barely notice; do so against The Squids and you'll quickly find yourself sent back to the last mall you reached, but with only half your money (the penalty for falling in battle).
	Donkey Kong Jr. review (NES) Reviewed on September 19, 2012 BRB, going to Kickstarter a documentary called "Prince of Kong."
