It looks like Final Fantasy; it sounds like Final Fantasy...but it's not Final Fantasy? And it's on an XBox console?

The console was known for its fighting games, but was Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash one of the better examples? #SNK #Neo Geo #retrogaming #mygamingjourney Read more on Gaming Off the Beaten Path Intro song: "A Glass of Tears Half Empty" by Aura Blaze - Hear more at: Aura Blaze - YouTube Music | Aura Blaze (bandcamp.com)

It's back to my 10s this week, with Might and Magic VI. This game is one of my all-time favorites and one of the reasons I even consider PC games in my coverage. #mightandmagic #retrogaming #mygamingjourney Read more on Gaming Off the Beaten Path Intro song: "A Glass of Tears Half Empty" by Aura Blaze - Hear more at: Aura Blaze - YouTube Music | Aura Blaze (bandcamp.com)

We are going back to the early days of the blog, which went back to the early days of the PS1.

It's time to play ball. It's kind of funny to see what people thought baseball might look like in 2020 way back in 1991.

Licensed games are dime a dozen now, but it wasn't always that way. So I was shocked when I learned there was a platformer based on movie star Jackie Chan from the 90's. That's cool, but was the game actually good. #retrogaming #turbografx16 #mygamingjourney Read more on Gaming Off the Beaten Path Intro song: "A Glass of Tears Half Empty" by Aura Blaze - Hear more at: Aura Blaze - YouTube Music | Aura Blaze (bandcamp.com)
