Review - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 місяців тому
I've finally taken the time to play through Lament of Innocence on the Playstation 2. It wasn't as bad as I remember it back when I played it new, but still has some issues. Probably the biggest is how dark the game is with no brightness controls. I pumped up the contract and brightness by about 200% for the capture, so if you see me constantly walking into walls in the video, it's because I co...

Review: Beyond Oasis (Genesis) - Overhyped or Underrated?
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Рік тому
In this review, I'm looking at Beyond Oasis for the Sega Genesis. This is an overhead action adventure game most similar to the 2D Legend of Zelda games. It gets a lot of praise, but is it deserved? Tune in and find out. Thanks a lot for watching.
Review: 1943 - The Battle of Midway (NES)
Переглядів 683Рік тому
Capcom would port the popular arcade game 1943 to the NES with mixed results. The game feels average, mostly due to the bland backgrounds and lack of enemy variety, but adds extra levels, a leveling up system among other enhancements. Definitely worth trying at least once. Thanks a lot for watching. 0:00 - Introduction 1:27 - 19XX Series Overview 2:24 - History of WWII Battle of Midway 3:21 - O...

I recently played Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure on the PC. It's a fun action RPG from Nihon Falcom, the makers of the Ys and Trails series.

Doom and Doom II as I experienced them
Переглядів 262Рік тому
Doom is 30 years old this year, and since first playing it in 1995, has had a great impact on my appreciation of gaming. There's nothing I can say in a review that hasn't already been said, so instead, I discuss my experience with the game in the 1990. Doom II was the first PC game that I owned, and I've cherished this game ever since. Thanks a lot for watching.
Review: Ultima IV - A Genre Defining RPG

Origin Systems released Ultima IV for many computer system in 1985, and in 1990 a Master System and NES port. I played the PC version with a fan patch that adds music and bumps the colors up VGA 256 colors. The game is revolutionary for it's time and very rarely has an RPG come along that has captured the innovative nature of this game. Thanks a lot for watching.

    Legends is maybe better than Adventure, but at least that game had a basic grasp of game design despite being glitchy and requiring way too much pixel precision. Legends is almost objectively nowhere close to as good as Belmont's Revenge. The Level design is thoughtless, the enemy placement / hazards barely build on each other, the sprites are plugged up with poor dark/light balance and actually look worse on actual hardware because of screen bleed, and the music is grainy. Everything about this game screams "we don't know how to make good use the limitations we we're presented with." Belmont's Revenge excelled at taking these things into account.

    I wouldn't mind seeing them do a remake of this game, like with better graphics, better level layout, better music, better sound quality, better enemies, better items, like how they did a remake of Metroid 2, but for this game.

    I cut my teeth on NES and Genesis, didn't even know master system existed until the mid 90s? I remember getting a random SMS cart from a tag sale or flea market or something, and I have a distinct memory of asking someone at FunCoLand what I needed to play it... looking back, they absolutely thought I meant Mega Drive because they said to just cut the tabs out of my genesis cartridge slot, and 12 year old me was confused because the board/pins were Clearly not the same as the genesis cartridge slot lol As a big Genesis and Saturn fan, the SMS and Dreamcast both disappoint me equally... the novelty is fun, and I guess I can appreciate the Sonic games because I'm a shameless fan, but I just didn't care about anything else in the library. None of it was as enticing as what I had already experienced on the Genesis and saturn by the time I could emulate the hardware, and later get physical devices and play roms. I wanna like it, but it just doesn't do much of anything for me.

    Kind of a long story, but I bought this game used for my Genesis sometime in the mid 90's. I got the box and book, but when I plugged in the cart, the game would not fire up. Turns out, a previous owner (possibly frustrated by any of several aspects of this game lol) had mutilated the contacts with a fork or something. Not to be deterred, I cracked the cart open, and grabbed my soldering iron. Many tiny pieces of copper wire and carefully cut electrical tape 5-6 layers deep later, I managed to get the cart in a workable state. My persistence also went onto the game as I, over quite a long period of time, learned most of the game's secrets and mechanics, and finally beat it. Though I do now have the game from GOG along with all the others, I don't believe I would have the patience to run a a full playthrough nowadays. Great memories though.

    I got my first SMS this year and absolutely adore it. There is no nostalgia but actual feeling about console! I thought it would be pale NES clone but system has it's own face. In fact, Contra and TMNT is the only flaw of SMS - other titles often have their own unique answers: Final Fantasy - Phantasy Star, Castlevania - Vampire/Kenseiden, Zelda - Golden Axe Warrior, Road Fighter - Action Fighter, Duck Hunt - Safary Hunt, Adventure Island - Wonder Boy, etc.

    My friends and I were big fans of Phantasy Star series in the 8 and 16 bit era. I never had PSIII but my friend did. He stayed over and we played the hell out of it. I really liked the generational storyline being different on who you marry and all that. I haven't played PSIII since the 90s and your video made me remember how much I hated the very limited animation in combat. Felt like a big step back compared to PSII or even the 8-bit PSI. I will agree with the dungeons for PSII were awful. I actually liked that game but the dungeons weren't pleasant. PSIV was peak Phantasy Star but PSI is quite strong in nostalgia for me. But PSI dungeons were kinda rough though. I needed grid paper for that one. Unfortunate that SEGA's flagship RPG series died, at least with the main line Phantasy Star RPGs. PSIV was it.

    I got the Master System for Christmas 1987. I asked for a Nintendo, but "Santa" brought me a Master System. I had no idea what it was, and over the years realized I was the only one in my neighborhood who had one. Despite that one kid in school who had one, but we didn't get along lol. Anyway, I gave it away to my girlfriend at the times little brother around 96-97. I say all this to say that I just got it back in the mail a couple days ago complete with the 6 games I had for it at the time. He had held on to it for nearly 30 years and graciously gave it back to me free of charge. Christmas morning all over again.

    "the nintendo 64 game is bad", says you, I like it, it's a proper castlevania, with equal elements of being scary and full of adventure... the general problem with Sonya's game its that the stages are too big for the time you get, you will be scrambling to get all of those 1up just to die to the timer later and continue from half the stage.

    Micro machines was a very faithful port that was on par with the 16 bit market. Robocop v terminator. When Murphy spoke “thank you for your cooperation!” I nearly spat my tea out, no way the master system had THAT in the tank! It was amazing. Graphically it was impressive too. Street Figher on the MS was cool. There were so many games that made the MSX which shouldn’t have but was so good that they did.
