This is easily one of the best rpg's i've ever played. Awesome music, Storyline, Gameplay, Fighting system etc. This game was considered very controversial for tying religous aspects into the game. If your an rpg fan and never played this, it's definately worth a try out.

This is the Super Mario Brothers 2! This is not the game that was intended to be Super Mario Bros 2, but this is a game made for the US and Europe.

You know when people talk about how the older or the original version of some game is the best? Well sometimes it turns out to be true. Want an example? Look at the Tony Hawk’s series. They tried really hard to make it… real. It is alright, I guess, but back in the old days they were only ...

Rayman 2 is a 3d platformer, and a good one. The visuals are cool, the music is great, and the platforming is as good as it gets. Rayman 2 also boasts of a hoard of robot pirates to fight, which isn't something that you can say about many games.

Originally released on the Sega Saturn. Grandia was ported over to the Playstation 1. The Saturn version was only released in Japan and most gamers almost missed out on this Gem.

Ah, Spyro, always a classic. This game is mostly platforming and collecting, the flying parts are a pain but they aren't too bad. The most action it has is setting monsters on fire or charging them.

Yet another Final Fantasy port! Originally released on SNES(Super Nintendo Entertainment System) and it has seen many ports indeed. So it would be stupid to say the game isn't amazing because there’s a reason why it got ported in the first place. Bottom line. It is amazing! Probably one of the ...

Ahhh..Doom 64. Doom has always been a favourite series and this version looked to be the best one yet. Alas, it was not to be. Here's why: Doom had always been an action game with lots of enemies, blood-pumping music and challenging gameplay sprinkled with a bit of exploration. This is the exact opposite, ...

A NES game of legendary difficulty in which different levels of the game have very different play styles.

Sega's 32X add-on for the Genesis/Megadrive might have been an ill-fated product, with only few games produced and a short lifespan.
