Retro Game of the Week 118: Bloody Wolf (TG-16)

A very awesome game for the Turbo-grafx is none other than Bloody Wolf. I guess you can refer this one as the Contra of the Turbo-grafx. The game plays well and has a very interesting story, save the president. Obviously not the current president we have right now, you can...

Finds 1051: Pandemonium, Luigi Ghost House Story, and The Krion Conquest

Some new additions to the collection. They are pretty neat titles overall. The Pandemonium is actually a very fun 2.5D platformer. It was cheap and everyone should enjoy the silliness of it. The other two are Famicom carts with fun games inside!  ...

Retro Game of the Week 115: Prince of Persia (Sega CD)

This is a very interesting port that added a little bit of charm to the game. Prince of Persia has one kick ass cover and crazy good gameplay. This is the first game in the series and probably one of the most memorable ones to me. The game starts you off in a prison cell...

One game Super VG is a street fighter 2 clone and plays great while the other is the sequel to Joe & Mac, well more of spin off but lots of fun to play. Two solid titles added to the collection.  ...

Finds 1048: Curse and Guilty Gear X

Two more entries ! Curse is a shoot 'em up for the Mega Drive but of course, it can be played on the Genesis with the right tools. It's very fun but tough! Guilty Gear X is the better version of the game for the Dreamcast. I have yet to try this one out though because my...

This is Rise of the Dragon and Final Fight CD for the the Sega CD. I've been wanting that Final Fight for a long time. It's crazy how long I waited to get this game. This is probably the best version of the game out there for consoles that is, classic consoles. I know the...

Xbox One to Emulate Dreamcast

Some news going all over the web especially of emulation fanatics is that a new emulator called WinDCe10 will be coming out for the Xbox One. Of course, this is an unofficial emulator which I'm sure Microsoft won't appreciate and will try to get rid of asap. Either way, the...

Finds 1045: Prince of Persia for Sega CD and Marko for Genesis!

This is Prince of Persia for the Sega CD. The game is actually quite similar to both the Genesis and SNES versions except with high quality CD SOUND! I'll take it! Marko is an average game about a kid that really loves his soccer ball. I remember seeing this game on magazines...

Finds 1044: Disk System Loot! Additions for the 8-bit classic!

More disks are here. A couple I don't have as well. The ones released by DOG software are just wonderful as they came in big boxes. Think of them as the big box games of collectibles we have nowadays. I also picked up another awesome Famicom game in a box. It's just a beautiful...
