Another late summer Capcom NES classic, but fortunately for me, this particular game isn't nearly as hard as 1943 was last year. Willow is a flawed, but very enjoyable Zelda style action RPG, that does qualify as a decent port of a pretty good fantasy movie from the late 1980's of the same name! Sorry this review is longer than maybe it should be, but I really enjoyed making this review, after having to temporarily suspend production of Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the NES, which I started way back in early May!

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 return to the Super Nintendo, and present to you the first turn based RPG that I ever played or owned, dating back to February 1994! We commemorate the 30 year anniversary of that fateful step, in this very enjoyable review of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on the SNES!

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!
