RETRO REBOOT - Contra Force (NES)

When I was writing up Contra Month back in 2019, Contra Force sat on the bubble. Initially because it take quite a bit to get my copy of this game working for an adequate refresher. I'm very big on the Konami brand, they've made some of my favorite games on the planet, and while the Contra series is very notable for its run-n-gun action, it has seen…

RETRO REBOOT - Final Fantasy VII (PlayStation)

Well, it was going to happen eventually. When I started to get into game analysis about a decade ago, I really had little intention in focusing on Final Fantasy VII in any significant manner, because it's hard to say anything that hasn't already been said. My primary goal was to talk about mid-range video games that interested me from a design aspect,…

RETRO REBOOT - Breakthru (NES)

Most arcade ports to the NES seemed to go pretty well for the NES, as far as I can remember. I only briefly played this in the arcades at Chuck E Cheese and decided that getting killed in Zaxxon was more fun because it was in space. As far as a home port goes, Breakthru isn’t too bad, though it is hindered by some of the many problems most NES…

RETRO REBOOT - Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators

I love myself a good pinball table. Brawlers, SHMUPs, and fighters were my regular quarter munchers in an arcade room, but the pinball table is like putting a Rubix Cube on a living room coffee table; at some point, you're going to feel inclined to mess with it. Two of my favorite tables were Space Jam and Terminator 2. While it was hard to replicate…
