It's 2051. Earth is all but dead, an almost uninhabitable polluted mess of smog and tar. Remotely control space blasters from a dying Earth. Fight in epic space battles against all kinds of weird alien spacecraft. Rescue cute 'blastronauts' from alien capture. Wipe-out the alien forces and take-over their planet to give humanity a new home. Time is running out. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate space blaster pilot and the saviour of the human race? That’s the story behind Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo (SMSBST).

Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are pretty similar to each other. I mentioned this in my preview of the games. So I decided to review these two games together. What are the games like? Which is better? Are they both worth a download? Check out my review of Dragon Quest 1 and 2 for Nintendo Switch! The following review covers both Dragon Quest 1 and 2. Both games are pretty similar, so I will try to cover the seminaries  and…

I was going to write Batman: Arkham Knight for this entry of More Thoughts. Then I discovered…I did not like Batman: Arkham Knight. So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

Bethesda released the first three Doom games for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One today! The first three Doom games are now available on the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. I remember playing the first Doom game on PC back in the day.

Evoland Legendary Edition is actually two games: Evoland and Evoland 2. And within those games, there are a bunch of unique graphical styles, from Gameboy to 8-bit to PS1 and beyond. Both Evoland games will take players on a journey through different rpg styles. Evoland Legendary Edition might sound gimmicky but there is a bit more to it than just changing graphics. Here is my preview of Evoland Legendary Edition for Nintendo Switch. Evoland 1 starts with no sound. You…

I was born in the 1980s. So for me, there is a lot of nostalgia to be found in those years. The 90s, not so much, but there was so much I loved in the 80s. From cartoons to tv shows to movies, the 80s has cool stuff in spades. When you get a movie (Ready Player One) or a video game, such as The VideoKid, thats all about taping into 80s nostalgia than I’m interested. I recently got The…
