150 SNES games reviewed #10: Super Metroid
So many games had the word super stuck on the front, I suppose it is only natural, part of it was a marketing gimmick obviously a way to let people know that this machine was so far beyond the last one that it required that label. Unfortunately a lot of games didn’t live up to …

150 SNES games reviewed #9: Super Goal! 2 (aka Takeda Nobuhiro no Super Cup Soccer)
I have plainly admitted on most days it has been a case of stick my hand in the box, and providing the game is not the same genre as one I have played in the past few days, I play it and then talk about it. I did things a little bit differently this time, I actually …
150 SNES games reviewed #8: Power Moves (aka Power Athlete)
Rule number one if you are going to try to make money by copying another game is to make sure you get a copy of the game you’re trying to copy and play the living daylights out of it. Sit and analyse it. Try to see why it is so popular, and what your game …

150 SNES games reviewed: #6 The Rocketeer
So I tried to play The Rocketeer and prior to the game starting there were a few screens with drawings and words, but with my Japanese copy they were of very little help. The game starts and what I am met with is nothing like I imagined. In my head this game was a 2D R-Type …

New day, new game, I figured I would do something I haven’t done so far; I would review a driving game. I picked the game via a simple method; it was the first driving game I pulled out of my box of SNES carts. The Duel: Test Drive II is a racing game developed by …
