2024 Recap: Xbox Launches its Best Games, Xbox Gets out of the Race Against Sony, Astro GotY, and More!

Posted on December 29, 2024December 29, 2024 by Samuel Rivera

This (2024), has been an interesting year for me. I have dedicated the entire year to hunting down N64 cartridges that are still missing in my collection, all while playing some of the newest games around. My year ends with a Sega Saturn purchase, and a general 1990s vibe. But what was the year in…

Sega Was Confident it Would Beat Sony (in 1996) According to Leak

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

And so, the era of leaked documents continues, but this time we are going back on a Nostalgic trip to 1996. During this time period, Nintendo was king, and about to unleash the most powerful video gaming system (PC or otherwise) known to man in the Nintendo 64. Sega had a leg up on Sony…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Remembering a Merry 1998 Christmas 

Posted on December 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is known (if you are a long time reader of the site), that 1998 is, in my honest opinion, is the greatest year in gaming, bar none. Most us will look back at that time when we were 10-14 years old, as the best time for video games, regardless of the year. That said, 1998…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Dragon Force

Posted on June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

When we think about old classic turn-based Japanese Role-Playing games, Final Fantasy Tactics and the Shining Force series come to mind. A game that is not often mentioned, and it should be (mentioned) among those great titles, is Dragon Force.  Dragon Force is a tactical Sega RPG. It was published by Sega in Japan, but…

Games that Will Cost You a Kidney: Shining Force III

Posted on June 15, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Sega Saturn is, at least to me, the most legendary of the 32/64-bit era machines. The reason? I didn’t own one, and I only know a single person who did. Furthermore, this person lost the console two decades ago.  As a JRPG fan, it was painful that the Sega Saturn was also the home…

Games That Will Cost you a Kidney: Panzer Dragoon Saga 

Posted on April 18, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

A few days ago, one of our readers and group members suggested that we should work on a section about retro games and the reasoning behind their high prices. We thought the idea was good. After all, as a JRPG focused site, we know all too well the growing pains of grabbing some genuine 32-bit…

The Best Games of 1998 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 6, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….

The 10 Best Games of 1996 According to GameRankings

Posted on March 23, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Personally, 1996 is dear to me. Super Mario 64, which might be my second favorite game of all time, arrived along with my favorite console of all time, the Nintendo 64. For music, it signaled the arrival of Goo Goo Dolls to mainstream prominence with their hit single “Name”, and yes, I also danced the…

Posted on December 6, 2021January 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Consequently, we have decided to continue our listing of “best launch games” of all time this week.  Last week, we listed some of the most important (and revolutionary games) of their time, and today we continue the trend by including some well…

Top Five Sega Saturn RPGs According to Electronic Gaming Monthly

Posted on August 30, 2021January 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Now, that Gamerankings.com has been defunct for years. We don’t really have a good data-base of Sega Saturn critical scores for its games out there. Metacritic, is relatively new and doesn’t really track games for the system. So, finding a source to make this list was more difficult than previous top fives that we have…
