Top 10 Best Atari Jaguar CD Games of All Time

I’m one of those people who loves failed video game consoles. Most of these have at least some exclusive gems to be gleaned from their library. The Atari Jaguar CD however is the one I really struggle to defend. The base console sold horribly and had one of the most infamously bad libraries of software of all time. Why did they decide expensive add-on hardware was necessary? The world may never know, but here we are. The Atari Jaguar CD only had thirteen commercial releases for it and I’m proud to say I not only own the hardware, but also the entire library. This may come as a surprise but the ..read more

Super Adventure Island Review (Super Nintendo, 1992)

The Adventure Island series was in my opinion one of the most underrated of the 8-bit generation. Parts two and three are at least as complex and nearly as well designed as Super Mario Bros. 3, and these released even earlier than that. By the time the Super Nintendo hit I was absolutely pumped for a 16-bit sequel. Then, one day, I saw it on the shelves. I just had to play Super Adventure Island. Unfortunately I could only rent it, but I cared little because this was the first significant update to one of my favorite franchises. Within minutes I was overwhelmed with disappointment. What shoul ..read more

Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Review (Nintendo 64, 2000)

I remember when the Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was first announced. Back then it went by the moniker of ‘Zelda Gaiden’ and for good reason. From the get go it was intended to be a side story to Ocarina of Time taking place in a new world with original baddies. At the time I wasn’t super hyped. New consoles were on the horizon, and I just wanted to move on from that generation. I still picked it up and enjoyed it, but played through just once. This was unusual in a time when I didn’t have a lot of disposable income and had to get a lot of mileage out of each purchase. Recently I was curiou ..read more

AeroGauge Review (Nintendo 64, 1998)

F-Zero was the franchise largely responsible for popularizing futuristic racers. The Nintendo 64 sequel had a lot of pre-release hype, and developers were eager to cash in on this with their own take on the genre. Aerogauge from ASCII Entertainment was one of these efforts. I remember following it fairly closely in previews before it came out and I was hyped. Aerogauge had style, and it looked downright fun. When it did I lost all interest because review scores were middling. Since then I’ve taken less stock in reviews from major publications. So many games I skipped because of low or average ..read more

Bloody Roar II Review (Sony PlayStation, 1999)

The original Bloody Roar came completely out of left field for me. Admittedly I wasn’t very interested in fighting games at the time so I wasn’t following it closely. It’s not like Hudson Soft was particularly known for their fighters. My first exposure was via a demo disc, and I instantly fell in love. Years later I finally picked it up, and loved it just as much as I did in the bite sized sample I spent so much time with. It wasn’t until the next generation that I fully jumped in to the franchise. This means I also skipped out on the first sequel, Bloody Roar II. Well I’ve finally righted t ..read more

Shining Force CD Review (Sega CD, 1995)

If you’ve followed our reviews thus far then you know that I’m a huge fan of the Shining Force franchise. The first one was one of my first forays into the strategy RPG genre. After completing the original, and it’s sequel on the Sega Genesis I was dedicated to playing them all. I was surprised to learn that the Sega CD had it’s own installment. Initially I was curious what the CD format would bring to a 16-bit Shining Force title. It was disappointing to learn that this iteration is actually a remake of the two Game Gear installments. I had not played those at the time but could only imagine ..read more

Dragon Quest I & II Review (Super Famicom, 1993)

Dragon Quest was once the most popular RPG series in Japan, and for a time, the entire world. In the West it was called Dragon Warrior, and the first game was a hit. Nintendo Power even included it with subscriptions. With the popularity of this original release Enix set to work on various sequels. The NES (or Famicom in Japan) had no less than four installments alone. While each subsequent game was more popular in Japan they sold less and less in North America. Enix continued the series on the Super Nintendo. Unfortunately they never bothered localizing these iterations. I guess it just didn ..read more

Mario Kart: Super Circuit Review (Game Boy Advance, 2001)

This is going to be a more personal review for me than most others. Mario Kart: Super Circuit was one of the first announced titles for the Game Boy Advance that I was looking forward to. It released shortly after launch to big fanfare. It also helped me through a really tough time. I received it for Christmas 2001, right before my grandmother passed away. I didn’t know how to deal with loss at the time because I was a teenager that had not yet experienced it on this scale. Video games were a form of escapism for me, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit provided me comfort I needed at this time. Eve ..read more

Shining Force II Review (Sega Genesis, 1994)

If you enjoyed RPGs during the 16-bit era then odds are you had a Super Nintendo. It’s not that the genre was completely devoid on the Sega Genesis, rather, third parties put their best efforts on the competitor’s system. The house of Sonic the Hedgehog did most of the heavy lifting with their Phantasy Star series. Shining Force was also one of their big games, but that fits more neatly as a strategy title. It was a hit, and gained quite the following. Back then Sega was big into sequels and a few years later we had Shining Force II. Honestly I was a late follower in the franchise and I didn ..read more

Top 20 Best SNES Multiplayer and Co-Op Games of All Time

With the rise of online play in home consoles so came the fall of co-op couch multiplayer. Yes, playing over the internet with buddies is fun, convenient, and has come a long way. Unfortunately it’s just not the same as getting a group of people together in the same room duking it out or working together on a single television screen. I miss those days, and at this rate I’m sure the concept is going to completely die out eventually. That doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the classics however. The Super Nintendo amassed a huge library of titles, and many of them offered either co-op and competi ..read more
