Sword of Vermilion
by Hiroshi Kawaguchi I remember playing this one as a rental on my friend’s Genesis. There was a save toward the end of the game on the cart already. Though we didn’t really understand the game much, we managed to...

Castlevania – Dracula X
by Tomoya Tomita, Masanari Iwata, Harumi Ueko, and Masahiko Kimura I have only played this title briefly, and have little memory of it. I did not come to appreciate its great soundtrack until recently. The “Bloodlines” track in particular is...
Mega Man IV
by Yasuaki Fujita and Minae Fujii Of the plentiful Mega Man titles on the NES, this one is also one of my favorites. Mega Man IV also introduced the Mega Buster – the ability to charge the arm cannon for...

Mega Man X2
by Yuki Iwai I owned this one. I found X2 to be a bit easier than X, and certainly not as revolutionary as its predecessor. This was a fun game nonetheless.
Energy Breaker
by Yukio Nakajima, Yuusei Yamamoto, Yasunori Shiono I have never even heard of this game until just a few days ago. I stumbled across it when perusing my SNES SPC dumps thinking it was another game. This soundtrack is amazing! ...
Golden Axe (Sega Genesis)
by Tohru Nakabayashi I played this game quite a bit in my youth. Both on the Sega Genesis and the arcade version. Like many, I think, I preferred the Dwarf over the Barbarian or Amazon characters. Definitely a fun game,...
