Goardic Gaiden
An obscure game, but an excellent one at that.
I wasn’t too sure what to think about Guardian Legend when I first heard about it. I just thought it was just another of many mediocre NES titles out there. Subsequently, I paid little attention too it until a friend o... Read Full Review

Blades of Steel
For not being a sports game fan, I really liked this game.
I am not really a fan of sports games. This is most likely because I am not a fan of sports in general. I find the constant yearly updates of the numerous sports titles slightly nauseating. Needless to say, I own very... Read Full Review

Sonic the Hedgehog
The Genesis game that gave me faith in Sega.
Ah, yes. Sonic the Hedgehog, now there is a game with some memories. Typically I am not into mascot games, like Super Mario Bros., but I really enjoyed Sonic. I got my Genesis a few months before Sonic was launched an... Read Full Review

Akumajou Densetsu
One of the best Castlevanias for any system.
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is my favorite Castlevania on the NES. The graphics are top-notch, the music impeccable, and just plain fun to play. This was one of the last NES games that I would buy that was brand ... Read Full Review

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
The Castlevania that got me hooked.
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest was my first exposure to the Castlevania series. Simon’s Quest differed from the original Castlevania by adding role playing elements and a non-linear level structure. This would be the o... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula
Castlevania at its absolute best.
Super Castlevania IV was one of the few games that made me want a Super Nintendo. I was perfectly content on just having a Genesis, but there were some games I knew would only be available on the SNES. It usually only ... Read Full Review

Blue Stinger
I started out disappointed, but ended up pleased overall.
Blue Stinger was the first Dreamcast game I bought. It was the only launch game that looked like I might enjoy. When I first played it, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed. This was the first game that I pl... Read Full Review

Juuouki
An arcade perfect port that is almost too perfect.
This was the pack-in game when I bought my Genesis. I was already familiar with Altered Beast since I had played it at an arcade a few years earlier. Unfortunately, this being the only game I would have for my Genesis ... Read Full Review

Back to the Future
This game prepared me for substandard video game adaptions for movies.
I got this game one Christmas and my first reaction was one of disappointment. But since my parents bought it for me, I forced myself to play it. It isn’t the worst game out there, but it did prepare me for crappy use ... Read Full Review

Disney Adventures in the Magic Kingdom
Seemingly innocent game, but will challenge and frustrate you.
Every summer as a kid, my family and I would go to Disneyland. When I saw this game, I didn’t know what to think at first. One, I didn’t know how Capcom would incorporate Disneyland into a video game and two; I was con... Read Full Review

Sewer Shark
Recommended only to collectors.
The early 90’s was a time of change for the video game industry. One innovation was the use of CDs as a medium for game storage. Sega and NEC were one of the few game companies that were pioneering the new technology. ... Read Full Review

C: The Contra Adventure
The second 32-bit Contra game. Note as good as the earlier games, but isn't the worst either.
Contra seemed to reach its golden age during the 16-bit era. The move to the newer platforms was at least an ambitious attempt to move away from the traditional side-scroller and more into the 3-d realm. Unfortunately,... Read Full Review

Contra: The Hard Corps
Contra's foray on the Genesis and also one of its best.
Up until the mid 90’s, if you wanted to play the great games from Konami and Capcom, you had to have a Nintendo system. Since the Genesis was a success, companies like Konami and Capcom started bringing their successful... Read Full Review

Columns
Sega's answer to Tetris and a pretty good one at that.
Tetris was the first game to bring the prominence to the puzzle genre. Since it was highly successful, many clones were surfacing to cash in. Columns was Sega’s answer to Tetris. At the time, I thought that Sega was m... Read Full Review

2010: Street Fighter
For a game many haven't heard about, it will amaze with its graphics, music, and challenge.
This game literally came out of nowhere. There I was at Wal-Mart looking for some cheap NES games when I saw it. I never heard of it before and it was only 19.99. It was a Capcom game and they haven’t disappointed me ... Read Full Review

Hokuto no Ken
Typical side-scrolling chop socky game, but still managed to have some fun in it.
Shortly after I got my Sega Genesis, I noticed that it had a peripheral called the Power Base Converter. I wasn’t really a fan of Sega before the Genesis. I thought they were more of a rip off of Nintendo than anything... Read Full Review

Final Fight CD
The best version of Final Fight out there.
Final Fight was a game I vaguely remember playing at the arcades in the early 90’s. It didn’t really stand out, but when it came out for the SNES and after playing Streets of Rage on the Genesis, side-scrolling fighters... Read Full Review

Vampire Killer
Sega's sole Castlevania entry, but not a wasted one.
When I heard Castlevania was coming out for the Genesis, I was very excited. After years of a Nintendo monopoly on the series, I was intrigued to have a Sega version. Though not the best in the series, it was a solid a... Read Full Review

Contra Spirits
Could of been much better.
Perhaps my expectations for Contra III: The Alien Wars were a bit high. But the bar was set high by the previous games, Contra and Super C, so I felt my expectations were justified. I also played Contra Hard Corps on t... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula
An excellent beginning to the series, though may be too difficult for most players.
I always enjoyed Konami’s NES games. With maybe a few exceptions, their games always exhibited excellent graphics, sound, and game play. Castlevania, being one of Konami’s earliest NES games, set the standard. Cas... Read Full Review

Batman Forever
I want my 15 dollars back.
This game was the source of much frustration for me. It didn’t feel like it was ever a finished product. The instruction manual even had typos, which made some of the moves in the game difficult to perform. Sure, some... Read Full Review

Batman
An excellent NES game!
This is one of the best NES games that I ever played. I know that is a bold claim considering how many good NES games are out there. Batman had some of the best graphics and music, which isn’t bad for an 8-bit game. I... Read Full Review

Ninja Gaiden Black
An excellent addition to the original trilogy.
I try not to get caught up in the hype of a video game. I have to admit that all the press that Ninja Gaiden was getting kind of turned me off for awhile. But being a fan of the original trilogy, I decided that I would... Read Full Review

Splatterhouse
The first game that actually scared me.
Slatterhouse was the only game that made me even consider ever getting the defunct TurboGrafx-16. It is also the first game to scare the hell out of me. Not that it made me jump out of my chair, but more of a dread tha... Read Full Review

Batman
Excellent video game representation of the film.
This was one of my earliest “holy grails” when it came to video games. What I mean to say is I had a hard time finding this game. I don’t really recall any of the stores in my area ever having a copy and things like EB... Read Full Review

Alien Storm
A decent, yet forgettable, Genesis game.
Alien Storm was one of the first Genesis games I bought when I got my Genesis. It would be what I consider old-school Sega, since it came out before Sonic came to prominence. It shared common traits with similar beat-e... Read Full Review

Halo (Xbox Collection)
Was this the game everyone was talking about? I don't get it.
I never really buy into the hoopla; I usually will make my decision when I have actually have played the game. The entire buzz will get me interested, but only if it is the type of game I would play in the first place. ... Read Full Review

The Super Shinobi
16-Bit Masterpiece

Perfect Dark
One of the best FPS to grace a console.
I wasn’t really a huge fan of Perfect Dark when it was first released. This was mainly due to the fact that a friend of mine, who I was beginning to get really annoyed of at the time, just orgasm over a new Goldeneye ty... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula Mokushiroku
Though it is the first 3D Castlevania, it is the best one.
I wasn’t too sure how to receive Castlevania 64 initially. I heard unflattering things about it in various game magazines and the screenshots I saw were less than impressive. To me, Castlevania looked like a watered do... Read Full Review

BloodRayne 2
An improvement over the original and despite its problems, still fun to play.
After playing the first BloodRayne, I was a bit nervous about the sequel. I bought it, but hadn’t played it until I completed the first game. I wasn’t totally enthralled with the first BloodRayne; it just seemed incomp... Read Full Review

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
A great beginning to the Kain saga.
I first heard about Blood Omen in a small blurb in a gaming magazine. It didn’t get into too much detail about Blood Omen; it basically just said you were a vampire that could suck the blood of you victims from a distan... Read Full Review
