Throwback Bit Thursday: Street Fighter II 

Posted on June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The 1990s were a good time for everything related to martial arts. Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Van Damme movies were all the rage. Kids shows like the Power Rangers and movies like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles drove younglings all over America into Martial Arts schools.   Before the wired special effects shenanigans turned…

TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?

Posted on June 3, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…

An Introduction to the World of Prince of Persia Many who owned/own a Super Nintendo will know several of the classic platformers—Super Mario World, Mega Man X, and Donkey Kong Country 2 to name a few. I played many of these and other platformers on the wonderful home console; there were so many great platforming…

Posted on March 12, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

No Escape (1994) Film Over the weekend, as I was looking back at several old games, I remembered the Super Nintendo Entertainment System title No Escape. It was a movie game on SNES that I recollected fondly. I didn’t recall watching the movie, so I decided to check it out and revisit the game, and…

The Best Games of 1994 According to GameRankings

Posted on March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Up to this point in our weekly 1990s GameRankings series, 1994 might be the best year in gaming of the 1990s decade so far (keep in mind that 1998 still to come). Big titles from huge franchises populate the list. Some of these games, such as Final Fantasy III (VI), Super Metroid, and Lunar: Eternal…

Waterworld on SNES: A Sunken Relic

Posted on March 4, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

The Waterworld Movie I was always fascinated with the movie Waterworld. Even though it received mixed reviews upon release, I thought the world design was magnificent. It was essentially Mad Max with boats. The movie sets and vehicles always amazed me in how detailed and authentic they appeared. Everything looked like it was ripped from…

The 10 Best Games of 1992 According to GameRankings

Posted on February 24, 2022March 3, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

For the past three weeks, we have been on a 1990s rollercoaster ride ranking the decade’s best games according to the defunct meta score video games page, GameRankings. This week is 1992’s turn, and as expected, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sega Genesis, and the Personal Computer remain the top performers.   In 1992,…

Posted on February 16, 2022March 3, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Last week, we listed the best games of the year 1990 according to GameRankings.com. That year was dominated by Sega Genesis arcade conversions. Today, we list 1991’s greatest games according to their critical average on the now defunct site.   This week the SNES takes over the listing, and that should not come as a…

FFVII Fan: Final Fantasy VI Should Have Been Remade Instead

Posted on January 20, 2022January 20, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The title of this article might cause some initial confusion and maybe create some controversy. Does the “FFVII Fan” (in this case, me) want Final Fantasy VI to have been remade instead because he hated Final Fantasy VII Remake and wants FFVI fans to have to endured the same pain? Or is there more than…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Breath of Fire Musings

Posted on December 16, 2021December 17, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Breath of Fire, as a series, has been dead for a long time (last game was Breath of Fire VI, a free to play online game in Japan), but you can still enjoy the series’ games across different platforms. My experience with the series is limited with Breath of Fire IV being my favorite, but…
