– The controls don’t always feel tight. – The jumping physics seem odd, even in the SNES era. Can change directions but still feels stiff. – No battery, game uses a password system. 4×4 grid, composed of holy water, axes, hearts and empty spaces. I’m going to store the codes as I go, here’s one:… Continue reading Super Castlevania IV Review
RETRO Game Magazine
I love video game magazines. I also love retro games. Putting the two together and creating a retro gaming magazine might be the best thing, ever. Unfortunately it’s 2013 which means there aren’t a ton of video game magazines left, let alone ones focused on the retro gaming scene. In fact, as far as I… Continue reading RETRO Game Magazine
Capcom Makes 150 Gold DuckTales NES Cartridges
To promote their newly released DuckTales Remastered, Capcom sent out 150 gold DuckTales NES cartridges to the press. It’s the same game with a gold painted cartridge and updated label. While it may not seem like much, this pisses me off because a) they seem like great collectors items, b) they actually work, c) they… Continue reading Capcom Makes 150 Gold DuckTales NES Cartridges
SNES Repro – Secret of Mana 2
Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) was the first reproduction I purchased and has really drawn me into the whole reproduction world. I’m a huge fan of the original Secret of Mana, it’s a terrific action RPG that was released by Square in 1993. At the time the sequel never made it to the… Continue reading SNES Repro – Secret of Mana 2
SNES Repro – Treasure of the Rudras

Well, basically, these individuals/companies are creating physical SNES cartridges that play either a) games only ever officially released in Japan with English translation patches applied to… Continue reading SNES Repro – Treasure of the Rudras
I Think the Site is No Longer Hacked
After a traditionally long absence I’ve decided to randomly start posting on Awesome Radical Gaming again. Because, why not? I was inspired by Will Smith, long story. I think I also fixed the very much hacked RSS feed. I don’t understand how it is that WordPress always gets hacked. The plugins? I don’t know, or… Continue reading I Think the Site is No Longer Hacked
Epic Astro Story is Very Awesome
Epic Astro Story is an amazing combination of everything I love: city builder, space and RPG. You’re in charge of a space colony on an alien planet. You recruit people named after Star Trek characters like Gordi Forge, Wes Smasher, Bones McGee, James Turk and Pavlov Hekov. You send them on away missions. You level… Continue reading Epic Astro Story is Very Awesome
Star Command – Amazing
I will be buying this game, because I’ve always imagined myself as a Jean-Luc Picard-level star ship commander.

The 90’s Are the Best
1UP is doing a series about why the 90’s were amazing (and sometimes not) for video games. I fully support this. I had no idea 1998 was so amazing. Also, don’t miss the X-treme ads. Only the 90’s could give us an awesome game starring Aerosmith and another starring Michael Jackson.
