Final Fantasy Adventure Game Boy EP39
In this massive episode, I review what I view as the best Game Boy game of all-time. This action RPG has everything you could ever want, quality wise. FFA has a great story-line, a great sound track, length (without being too long), depth, and replay ability. So few people have truly experienced...

Willow NES EP33
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!...

-
Castlevania NES EP22
Here it is, the much anticipated Castlevania NES review, and the Halloween special for 2023! This game started it all for Konami, in the massive Castlevania franchise. In a lot of ways, I've always felt that this series should have remained a side scrolling platforming style, because in all...
