Video Game Flash Back

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!

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's longest lasting system!

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!

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 half, but do enjoy! Don't worry, VGF ep30: Golden Axe is right around the corner!

We go back to the legendary late 80's and early 90's with one of the better action platformers on the NES, without the name "Mario" in it, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers! One of the staples of the Disney Afternoon, being brought to the NES was a definite success, and arguably a more entertaining style than it's predecessor in Duck Tales. This game had more levels, and allowed you to play a co-op style, which was relatively new at the time!

After three straight insanely hard games, I figured it was time to settle down a little bit, and review the very first NES game I ever beat, that game was Breakthru, which was also an arcade game just a year earlier. What makes the game easy is the unlimited continues! Breakthru is also one of the "Original Six" NES games that I ever could call my own, dating back to Christmas 1988!

Joey has tortured himself once again, reviewing one of the hardest games of all time: We present to you the original Mega Man on the NES! Talk about hard! With that said, Mega Man has it's place in history, not just for being the game that started it all, or being hard as hell, but also the fact that the music, graphics, and yes, the game play is phenomenal for it's time, and more than worth a try, if you dare!

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 honesty, why didn't it? This is Castlevania from my perspective, this VGF podcast refuses to "wing it" and hopefully will deliver a worthwhile listen for gamers of yesteryear, and maybe even of today!

As summer special as it gets, no game gives me more memories of my childhood, during the summer time than 1943 on the NES! This game is easily one of the hardest games of all-time, with swarms of planes, along with huge battleships to defeat, all at the same time! The NES version of this game is the feature presentation, but we do briefly discuss the arcade masterpiece that started it all!
