Author: sull56ivan2010 The Bases Loaded series is something I haven’t been huge on as far as discovering older sports games. Regarding the first ones on NES, they are okay, but the fielding was kind of shoddy. It had the presentation, looking like a game on TV, but not the greatest…
By Indy1988 When the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series (or Dragon Warrior to some people) were released to the public, they defined what makes a role-playing game. These games went beyond pencil-and-paper stats and long hours of leveling up a wizard or warrior. Video games made this possible…
Author: John Legendoffzelda The one interesting part of Ocean’s leaden adaptation of RoboCop 3 is that their game precedes the film by an entire year.
