Review – Ninja Gaiden (NES)

1 Player Kick ass classic Ninja action. Graphics 8/10 Pretty good.  The sprites all look like what they are supposed to look like, though the enemies are sometimes kind of weird, the cut scenes are pretty cool and often action packed.  The graphics are good for NES level.  The opening sequence rocks. Music and Sound 9/10 This game has great music too.  Fast paced music that fits the levels well, slower and creepy music when appropriate during the cut scenes.  As for sound effects, they are pretty sharp and quick, which fits the Ninja motif.  Basically they are believable in…

Review – Snake Rattle and Roll (NES)

1-2 Players The snakes Rattle and Roll must battle their way through a 3/4 overhead 2D world to uh.. I'm not sure what.  Battle giant feet, toilet seats and chomp Nibbly Pibblys. Graphics: 7/10 Well he graphics are kind of nice, though it does suffer some from "What is that supposed to be?" syndrome.  Mostly on the (seemingly) toilet seats you battle.  You also seem to fight bells, drills, and giant feet.  The feet seem to be the bosses.  The game is set in a sort of 3/4 overhead 3D aspect, which can be very confusing on controls.  You will…

Review – Mega Man 3 (NES)

1 Player The Mega Man series, the greatest series ever. You must control the Blue Bomber to once again defeat Dr. Wiley. Graphics 9/10 Nice crisp Mega Man graphics.  Plus this game has one of the coolest looking sets of robot masters.  I suppose that I like this game makes me somewhat biased to the scores.  There is some slowdown though when there is more then like 2 enemies on the screen. Music and Sound 9/10 Very good music.  While I was replaying it my brother commented on how cool the music in this game was just out of the…

Review – RBI Baseball (NES)

1-2 Players Graphics: 5/10 Short squatty ball players don't quite compare to some baseball games, especially these newer once where the player look like themselves.  This is a pretty early game I believe though, so it's hard to expect much.  At least they are human for the most part. Music and Sound: 3/10 There is like 1 tune in this whole game, it consists of 1 sound repeated at several notes, every 10 notes or so.  It is VERY repetitive.  The sound effects are mostly squeals of various kinds.  The ball pitching, the ump's calls, etc. Gameplay 4/10 The computer…

Review – Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)

1-26 Players (2 players at once max) Graphics: 7/10 Nice NES graphics.  Personally I really like the view used for this game for a football game.  I don't care much at all for the newer more popular behind the quarterback style. The cut scenes in this game are pretty nice as well, The intro is particularly nice. It's esy to tell what's going on which is almost necessary for a football game if you want to get the guy with the ball. Music and Sound: 8/10 You can actually understand the digitized speech!  The announcer calls Touchdowns, the QB call…
