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. I don’t think I ever played Doom 2 or 3. I wouldn’t mind playing all three of these games on the Nintendo Switch. The first one would be especially fun to revisit. Have…

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…

The Adventures of Elena Temple is a game…about a game. A retro old game in fact! How exactly does this game work? Is it interesting? Do you want to play it? Check out my review of The Adventures of Elena Temple for Nintendo Switch! The Adventures of Elena Temple is the story of a fictional retro game that started with one fictional retro system and ended on another. The player is presented with each “system” in a menu and can…

The first time I played Chrono Trigger…I didn’t like it. This was back during the SNES days and I didn’t like rpgs back then, with the expectation of Earthbound. It wasn’t until I played Final Fantasy 7 that I got addicted to rpgs and after that, I got a chance to play Chrono Trigger on the Playstation 1 and I loved it. Now Chrono Trigger is one of my all-time favorite games. If you’ve played the game, I hope you…

I was really young when the original Mortal Kombat for the NES came out. I remember thinking it was gross but I wasn’t offended by it and neither was my dad. The game was violent but it was over the top cartoon violence. Of course not everyone saw it like that. A small group and the media tried to turn Mortal Kombat into a controversy  There have been a lot of Mortal Kombat games since then but none of them…

I tried and failed to get an NES Classic. Then the SNES Classic came out and I failed to get that too. I thought I’d never get either one of them. And then early last week, Amazon had a Lightning deal on the SNES Classic. I managed to finally buy an SNES Classic! Now that I’ve played with the system some, is the SNES Classic worth all this trouble? How are the games on the system? How do they play?…
