Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game

This review is for WWF Wrestlemania by Midway for the Arcades. Most people probably know this game as “Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game” through one of the bajillion ports of it.

Final Fight

Once again, uploading some old game reviews.

This review is for Final Fight by Capcom for the Arcades. An oldie, yet a goodie. A goodie so good that I had to review it now, almost 20 years after its release.

Sure, it has been done before. Sure, it has been done better. But so what? It’s chibi Dan being molested by several chibi Felicias. If that isn’t enough to get you playing, I just don’t know how you sleep at night. Read the rest of this entry »

Metal Slug 3

This week’s review is for Metal Slug 3 by SNK for the arcades. I know that I said that I would do Fatal Fury 2 last week, but I just don’t wanna review that game. Besides, here is another SNK title that is worthy of your time. You’re favorite guys are back to take down Saddam Hitler, then take down the aliens! If you’ve never played a Metal Slug game, here would be a good place to start. If you have played a Metal Slug game before, then it would still be good to play this!
