6/08/2009 Super Spy Hunter review
Many NES gamers remember an arcade title called Spy Hunter but are trying to forget the shoddy NES port. What most NESers don't remember is that Sunsoft gave it another shot with Super Spy Hunter, a little-known pseudo sequel released late in the console's lifecycle that promised to get it right. Check out this review to see if this spy shooter surpasses the original and by how much.

4/05/2009 Burai Fighter review
There's no doubt the NES shooter arena is ruled by Konami and Compile, but that hasn't stopped other companies from trying to make their mark on the genre. One of those companies is Taxan, who brought the NES a shooter called Burai Fighter. It may seem like another shooter, but check out this review to see if it has any features to set it from the rest of the pack.

1/29/2009 River City Ransom review
There are many brawling titles on the NES, and then there are games like River City Ransom that try to shake things up by adding some RPG to the standard fighting forumla. The result is a game thats remembered fondly among the NES faithful even to this day. Check out this review to see why.

1/05/2009 Zelda II review
Mention The Legend of Zelda and NESers will profess their loyalty to the game. Mention the sequel, however, and you won't get as much lovin'. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was released a year after the sequel, and Nintendo decided to experiment with it a little, trading the top-down view for a patform RPG style. Many fans were turned off by the changes, but this review shows that different games can work if given a chance.

BTW on the new-format reviews, you can now click the screenshots to get a normal-sized version of them.

11/21/2008 Darkwing Duck review, in a new format
Most gamers who watched the Disney Afternoon TV block of the early 90s remember a show called Darkwing Duck, a DuckTales spin-off featuring a caped duck who fought crime with some cool gadgets. It was no surprise that Capcom made a game based on it since they did the same to the other shows in the lineup, and since Capcom usually had a good track record with Disney titles, this should be a fun title as well, right? Click here for a review to see if D.W. follows the trend of great Disney games, despite a resemblance to another famous Capcom franchise.

You'll notice that this review is done in a new layout, which I hope everyone enjoys. I hope to have the other reviews coverted to the new format as well in the near future.

11/07/2008 Mega Man III review
Sorry about the long sabbatical. I haven't abandoned this site, nor plan to do so in the forseeable future. I've just been busy with other things in my life. Rst assured I'm still going to keep this site going, and in fact have some things planned in the very near future, including a new design for the game reviews.

Anyway to today's update. Mega Man was good, Mega Man II was better, so Capcom naturally followed up with a third game in the series, Mega Man III. Most other third games in a series prove to be the best of the lot, but does MM3 follow the pattern? Click here for a review.

8/21/2008 Track & Field review
With the Summer Olympics going on in Beijing, today's review is for Konami's Track & Field, a port of the original arcade title that introduced the world to button-mashing your way through the Olympic games. Click here for a review to see if this game is still a medal contendor.

7/16/2008 NES Open review
The NES is home to many golf carts, but only Nintendo's NES Open Tournament Golf features Mario and friends enjoying a quick round on the links when they aren't cleaing pipes or stomping Koopas. But if you look past the Mario influence, you may find an excellent golf title. Click here for a review to see if this game is par for the course.

Also the Links page is finally up and running again.
