I’m a big fan of Shin Megami Tensei games and their spin offs. I started with Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer’s Call (aka Nocturne) as it was described as an adult Pokemon at the time. This really sold it short and the Persona series has since gone from strength to strength. […]

As mentioned in my Wonder Boy Asha review from last year, the Wonder Boy franchise is one that had passed me by, despite being a self-professed Sega fanatic ever since the glory of the Mega Drive days. Despite owning original copies of Wonder Boy III on Master System and Monster World […]

Out of all of the companies you can build a retro collection out of, Pre-Neo Geo SNK is an odd one. While it is entirely undoubtable that SNK have earned their wings over forty years of creating games, their earlier output isn’t exactly all that well known in the west. […]

Mega Man and I have had a Somewhat turbulent history. Up until recently I had never owned an NES of my own due to be an out and out Sega fanboy. The only exposure I had to Mega Man as a franchise was on the Game Boy and due to its […]
