Skies of Arcadia review (DC)Reviewed on Date UnknownThe term ''greatest game ever'' or ''greatest RPG ever made'' is used about everytime a RPG- be it Square or somebody else- is released. Skies of Arcadia is the latest epic to- hopefully- get this moniker. |

Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Championship Golf review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownSo many sports games found ways onto video game systems of all kinds. Surprisingly, one of the sports video games I hear about the most (though mostly on the older systems) and one of the sports video games I've most often played isn't football, baseball, or hockey -- it's golf! So when I had the chance to buy Jack Nicklaus Golf for under one dollar, I scooped it up as fast as I could and hoped for an excellent golfing experience, surpassing that of even one of the oldest NES golf games, ... |

Spawn: In the Demon's Hand review (DC)Reviewed on Date UnknownIf nothing else, the latest electronic incarnation of Spawn can at least know it's the best looking god-awful game of the year. Maybe I'm being too harsh. But while Todd McFarlene continues to change from indie comic artist to obscenely rich uber-sell out, gamers are screwed. The straight-from-hell hero is cursed on gaming platforms, and Capcom's latest effort (a port of an Naomi game) could've ended up being enjoyable if Capcom only tweaked a few things. |

Super C review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownSuper C, short for Super Contra, was Konami's sequel to their great NES masterpiece, Contra. While this game stepped up graphically from Contra, unfortunately, it did dip just a little bit in design, but that's not too bad, since the game is still very good anyway. Heck, I bet Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up! Errrr... that is if Siskel were still alive... and if they actually rated games. Whatever.... |

Time Stalkers review (DC)Reviewed on Date UnknownTime Stalkers is a phenomenal game with a rich story, interesting characters you feel compassion for and a thunderous score that coincides with the beautiful proceedings. Developer Climax Graphics certainly has Square ducking for cover. |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownWelcome to this very special edition of ''Gamers' Most Wanted.'' I am your host, RoyalRanger, and today we face the case of the robbery of Stanahana's Jewelry Store. I have a photo of the criminal here, which I shall show to you now. |

Zone of the Enders review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownIts the game everybody had to buy to play Metal Gear Solid 2 in its minute demo form. Hideo Kojima's big robot basher is pretty and very well structered. Its also horribly short- I completed it in 5 and a half hours over a period of one Saturday night and a all day today- and sports a disapointingly abrupt ending. |

Fire 'N Ice review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownHello, once again, and welcome to another review by yours truly, RoyalRanger, here to give you an honest opinion on the late but great 1993 Tecmo game, Fire 'n Ice. In light of the differences of opinion of games, evident between different gamers, I have decided to bring in a professional game character, Error (From Zelda 2), in here to co-author the review, providing their perspective at a few intervals during my review writing. |

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownOrphen, the latest localization by the good folks at Activision, is, in a word, schizophrenic. While Orphen doesn't have government enforment officers speaking Chinese and following it around in black helicopters like my ex co-worker Warren (no male prostitution ring either), the game does think it's a Tomb Raider platformer. It's also a Crash Banidcoot style 3-D platformer with a fixed postion and a full blown Square-like epic with blur effects and turn-based battles that aren't really turn bas... |

Spider-Man review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownIt's amazing how long Activision has been in business, and now they're out with a great new game for the N64. Spider-Man 64, based on the Marvel Comics superhero, provides an edge-of-your-seat gaming experience the first few times you pop the cartridge into the system, making any Spidey fan bound to love this game. |

Hybrid Heaven review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownRPGs are few and far between on the N64. In fact, the only ''traditional,'' turn-based RPG is the festering boil that is Quest 64. Enter the unorthodox Hybrid Heaven, a solid, sci-fi RPG with a Matrix meets Metal Gear Solid visual look. |

Pilotwings review (SNES)Reviewed on Date UnknownPilot Wings was released shortly after the introduction of the Super Nintendo, becoming one of the first great titles for the 16-bit system. It didn’t have much violence, there weren’t mature storylines (if any storyline at all!) and basically, the game was as kid friendly as one could hope for. But it was extremely challenging and pure fun to play for children and adults. |

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownAfter endless delays, Atlus has finally brought us Enix's vast RPG epic. Does it end the RPG drought on the N64? Not exactly, but it's still a strong effort that fans will thoroughly enjoy. |

Final Fantasy Tactics review (PSX)Reviewed on Date UnknownFinal Fantasy Tactics. This game and I have a very long history. It was bought for me as a birthday present and the first day I got it, I dug in. Within the first day at about the fourth level I was stuck. That's right the inevitable ''stuck''. I was there for a very long time, probably about a year or so, I was ready to give up. Finally one day I picked it up and by some video game miracle I made it pass that level. I was again caught up in the story line, urging myself forward through battles ... |

WinBack: Covert Operations review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownReleased a year ago, WinBack was, and still is, the Nintendo 64's only answer to Metal Gear Solid. Well, the blond Jean-Luc is no Solid Snake, and WinBack is no Metal Gear Solid, but it is a much needed action game on the kiddy N64. |

Gundam Battle Assault review (PSX)Reviewed on Date UnknownAnime games here are few and far between. And that might be a good thing. Anime games are the Japanese equivelent of a movie or TV license. Meaning, for every Goldeneye there is at least 300 Olsen Twins, Xena or Blues Brothers. Anime games have improved- Record of Lodoss War, Card Captors, and Oh My Goddess for Dreamcast are rather competent, and Bandai's crank-a-dozen Gundam titles for Playstation are passable. |

Monopoly review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownThe NES game of Monopoly is based on Parker Brother's classic real estate trading board game of the same name. Released in 1991 by, of course, Parker Brothers, Monopoly successfully makes its transfer into the video gaming world. With other Monopoly video game ventures ahead of them, Parker Brother starts out with a bang in this video game port of their highly successful board game. |

Paperboy review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownWho would have ever thought that such a simple, childhood job could become so dangerous? Indiana Jones never had to evade tornadoes that were following him! James Bond never had to deliver papers to the Grim Reaper! I cannot imagine what this paperboy would give to rescue a princess from a fire-breathing dragon instead of doing... this! |

Front Mission 3 review (PSX)Reviewed on Date UnknownWell Square has done it once again. They have set their place, as one of the greatest RPG companies the world has ever seen. Front Mission 3 is a new type of RPG unlike anything before. |
