VGF EP38: TMNT II The Arcade Game NES

Jan 30 2025 131 mins

Time to jump into the legendary side scrolling beat 'em up arcade style that a lot of us grew up loving. This game hearkens back to not only those great memories, but also to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, that some of us would load up on youtube anytime, because we never get old!

VGF EP37: Mega Man 3 NES

Jan 01 2025 171 mins

We are starting off 2025 with a bang, as the much anticipated Mega Man 3 on NES review is here! You will hear the story how your host fell in love with this game and this series back in the summer of 1991. This game just has that magical vibe that separates it from the rest, you will hear why in this epic episode! You will also hear all of the amazing soundtrack that also makes thi

VGF EP36: Super Mario Bros. NES

Dec 18 2024 127 mins

This is the game that started it all for me and my brother, when it comes to home consoles. The ultimate gamer beginning, as this was the original of the original six #NES games for our Christmas present in 1988! This is the beginning of great platformers and games that are played on more than one screen. Super #Mario Brothers is the game that rescued the video industry from the 19

VGF EP35: Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge

Nov 14 2024 87 mins

It was an exciting time when our android hero made his Nintendo Game Boy debut, but this game would becoming one of the most frustrating platformers in the history of the system. Not to say this was a bad game, but not quite as memorable as it's NES predecessors.

VGF EP34: Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest NES

Oct 19 2024 131 mins

Here is our annual Halloween special, and we return to the great Castlevania series, with Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest on the NES! This is easily the most underappreciated of the NES trilogy, mostly because of the cryptic nature of the whole "Where do I go?" style this game portrays. Once you have some type of guide, this game is incredibly fun. The graphics and colors of this game

VGF EP33: Willow NES

Aug 24 2024 177 mins

Another late summer Capcom NES classic, but fortunately for me, this particular game isn't nearly as hard as 1943 was last year. Willow is a flawed, but very enjoyable Zelda style action RPG, that does qualify as a decent port of a pretty good fantasy movie from the late 1980's of the same name! Sorry this review is longer than maybe it should be, but I really enjoyed makin

VGF EP32: Castle Of Illusion Genesis

May 01 2024 92 mins

It's time to review the Sega Genesis version of this early '90's classic. The music and overall game play are fantastic, and will bring back many memories of our youth, as we roll through yet another big time Disney game. The controls overall are smooth, but in Castlevania side scrolling style, expect some cheap deaths, to bring up the difficulty! Support The Show: htt

VGF EP31: Super Mario Land 2 Game Boy

Apr 13 2024 100 mins

We return to the Nintendo Game Boy, with one of it's all time classics, Super Mario Lane 2: Six Golden Coins. This game gives you more of a Super Mario World style format, but of course in Game Boy form. The music on this game is very energetic and relaxing at the same time. Despite some slightly jittery controls, this one goes down as one of the best action games on Nintendo&#

VGF EP30: Golden Axe Genesis

Mar 12 2024 84 mins

We finally venture into the first 16-bit game console, the Sega Genesis, and with one of it's most iconic titles: Golden Axe! Often times, great arcade games ported to home consoles were pretty disappointing, as the game quality would be downgraded by so much, but in this case, Golden Axe on the Genesis did not disappoint!

Minisode 1: High Expectations That Disappointed The Most

Mar 09 2024 8 mins

Here is a new installment, our first Minisode! Occasionally, I will release small episodes about best of, worst of, or special stories and memories over the many years in my gaming life. Here in Minisode One, I answer an X-Post question, as to "what game came in with very high expectations, that disappointed me the most?" Of course I came up with approximately two and a h
