1 / 5

Gameplay

Only two playable characters. Unfair difficulty, even on the lowest of 5 settings. Only two buttons! I have no idea how to perform a special attack, so I'm reduced to getting in close for standard punch or kicks whereas the opponent is peppering me with projectiles. Terrible hit detection. Supper laggy controls which eat half your inputs. Movement is quick.

2 / 5

Level Design

1P and 2P VS modes only

1 / 5

Theme

All in English. No story, custscenes, etc. Looks like Kamen, or some other 70's Japanese TV show.

1 / 5

Art Style

Horrible character designs. They look like the Power Ranger enemies, or even the older Japanese stuff from the 70s and 80s. Everyone has enormous headgear and shoulder pads the size of small children. Super campy.
The HUD looks like it was whipped up in a few minutes as a proof of concept. The word Pause isn't even centered on the screen.

2 / 5

Audio

Simple compositions that sound like a Master System or NES game. Honestly, they're not terrible but pale in comparison to other 16-bit titles. The sound effects are comically bad and play a second after the action that spawned them. Punch...(wait for it)...pow.

Hey gamers. I first published this blog in July 2024. That initial release included my thoughts about every game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era.  At the time I was underway with the second, and final, phase of this project - to play and review every 16-bit title playable by an English speaker, regardless of region. As of right now, that goal has been reached. What lies before you is a heap of reviews for every game I could play on the following consoles: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom (1204 total) North America (716) Japan (450) Europe/PAL (38)  Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (849) North America (704) Japan (94) Europe/PAL (51) Sega CD/Mega Drive CD (158) North America (141) Japan (12) Europe/PAL (5) TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (255) North America (95) Japan (160) TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine CD (163) North America (44) Japan (119) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

Review #4565 Super Hydlide Easily the worst game of the 16 bit era Genesis 1990 Seismic Adventure Adventure › Overhead X 2 / 100 You've been warned Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 0 / 5 Gameplay Zelda clone... in theory. Includes an unbelievably annoying weight system, limiting both what you can carry and what your character can use as a weapon. If you’re overloaded, you are unable to move. After buying a few things at the weapons shop I thought the game was broken. I had to Google it and read about this weight mechanic. So stupid. It makes the game nigh unplayable. Even with a minimal inventory of a knife, a helm, and two food rations I could barely walk. The game has a clock and calendar and it took me 12 game hours to walk from the Shop to the exit to attempt combat. By that...

Chrono Trigger for SNES

Review #109 Chrono Trigger Only by mastering time itself do you stand a chance against Lavos. SNES 1995 Square RPG RPG › Japanese A 100 / 100 Classic Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 5 / 5 Gameplay Battle system is special. There's an optional Active Battle System and an innovative Single and Team techniques system. No grinding necessary. An assortment of sidequests and minigames like the actions you take at the Millennial Fair which influence how the trial plays out. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that you are never alone in a one-character party. You are joined by 3 other playable characters within the first hour of play. Being able to switch your party members on the fly is also a welcome quality of life feature. No random battles. The Game+ feature! What an awes...
