February 14/2023 The Legend of Zelda, The Minish Cap
So – Minish Cap was definitely a let down on the heels of Link to the Past and Ocarina. That said, most games probably would be, but the thing with those other Zelda games is that they oozed with personality. Everyone, from the most insignificant NPC to the heavy hitters in the story, felt very…

February 6/2023 The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time
So, I know I’m not saying anything new here by singing this game’s praises, but my god is Ocarina of Time phenomenal. This was my first time all the way through this game since I was a teenager, and it’s one of those rare cases where I’ve gone back to something that held that much…

January 27/2023 The Lost Vikings
So, of all the games that I’ve beaten for the first time on this little quest, Lost Vikings might be the one that I had previously poured the most time into. This was a game my whole family would rent over and over when I was a kid, and we would all take turns bashing…

January 23/2023 Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (Genesis)
What is it with me and this series? I shouldn’t enjoy something this much that CLEARLY hates me. First time playing the Genesis version, really enjoyed it, though I’d probably still take the arcade version over anything else.

January 20/2023 The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
That was an awesome game. I still think Ocarina is my favorite of the series, but Link to the Past might fit right in behind there. Side note, this was the first game I beat entirely on my new Retroid Pocket 2+, which was a Christmas gift from Erin, and I really can’t recommend it…

January 10/2023 The Legend of Zelda
Welp, it only took 27 years, but I beat Legend of Zelda. How the hell did anyone ever do this without a guide? I’m fairly confident that some houses got internet access specifically to find out how to beat this damn game.

January 1/2023 Streets of Rage 2
So, like a lot of kids in the 90’s, I loved arcade style beat-em-up’s. I’ve played Final Fight, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, and the Simpsons enough times to have them essentially memorized. Not having a Genesis, I always sort of discounted the Streets of Rage series as “Sega Final Fight” which, in fairness,…

December 21/2022 Skyblazer
Skyblazer was a super fun play through; it’s an action platformer, but with a really awesome move and attack set that makes it surprisingly deep, gameplay wise. Really good visuals and sound, definitely has that slick, late SNES feel to it. It’s a Sony Imagesoft game, kinda surprised we never got a sequel on the…

November 21/2022 Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney
If you like really goofy Japanese melodrama, I can wholeheartedly recommend Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney. Delightfully weird.
