Review – Contra (NES)

Contra, why would we want to review a game that is like ten Twenty years old? I mean why not do the SIMs Second Life? or Lord of Destruction World of Warcraft? Or Half Life Half Life 2 – Episode 2, or whatever, the list goes on, the idea is why not something current. Well sometimes a game is just too go to be considered too old. When you can spend an entire night playing a ten year old game over and over you know it’s got to be a pretty decent game. You see back before 3D everything there…

Review – Back to the Future (NES)

Ok, let’s cut to the chase, this game sucks. I have long pushed this game as the worst game I have ever played, though I’m not so sure about that anymore.  Back to the Future is was a pretty bad ass awesome film, even back when it was new when this game came out.  You’d think that some of that would translate to the game on SOME level but it didn’t.  It’s essentially a bastardized version of Skate Or Die that has almost zero to do with Back to the Future. So admittedly, the expectations of what makes a video…

Review – Bionic Commando (NES)

NES – 1 Player – Capcom If you ever hear someone complain about the “difficulty” of modern games, tell them to go play almost any NES classic.  Not only will they find many extremely difficult games, but they will be difficult games by design, not because the computer uses cheap AI to “always win”. Bionic Commando is one such game.  Honestly, this, and any game in the Ninja Gaiden series, are some of the toughest NES games out there.  Possibly one of the toughest games ever.  The one major pitfall of this game is its lack of password or save…

Review – Time Lord (NES)

Time lord | NES | Milton Bradley | 1989 This game, for me, was a bunch of disappointments, right from the start.  Every year, like any good greedy kid, I would provide my parents with a list of things I wanted for Christmas.  A friend of mine had this pretty neat overhead RPG titled Times of Lore.  I loved to play Times of Lore and really wanted my own copy to play at my leisure, so of course, I put it on my Christmas list. I later realize that the best explanation is that my parents misread what I had…

Review – King’s Knight (NES)

1989 Squaresoft | 1 Player Graphics 6/10 So so graphics.  They are OK, but this is for NES standards.  It is a Square game, and they tend to have pretty good graphics for their games when they are released, and this is one of their first games so it's pretty early.  Some of the monsters are easy to tell what they are supposed to be but others seem like random blobs. Sound 3/10 I don't remember anything that really stands out in this game and being an early NES game this area isn't too great.  Nothing spectacular or too memorable…
