RETRO REBOOT | Kung Fu (Nintendo Entertainment System)

I don't talk about IREM enough. Like Tecmo back in the day, a lot of their success was in the native homeland. They did release some bangers here internationally and in the States, probably one of their more ubiquitous releases that probably was in every Nintendo owner's household was the grandfather of the beat'em up genre, Kung Fu.…

Hey, not necessarily my fault the play…

Poor Stadia. Launching back in November 2019 with a grandiose means of revolutionizing cloud gaming. While the streaming technology was impressive, paying premium retail price to access software widely available elsewhere left its market value opaque.

RETRO REBOOT | Rygar (NES)

I really didn't care for the original Legend of Zelda. It probably has less to do with the fact that I think the game was a cryptic slog, and more that I played games similar to it first. Some games I've reviewed before, like…
